I bought the sbtr027 a bit over a year ago and I can confirm, they're fantastic and also, great strap monsters

bought the 026 from where you said in japan ! arrived in just 5 days and no import tax!! boooom !!! and its beautiful😊

You have a true passion for watches mate. Refreshing

Great review. I am definitely falling for Seiko. I’ve got a solar quartz and these ones look so well finished. I’m so glad I watched this and saw the sbtr026 in a different light. On the Sakura web page it looks very different.

I just bought the white colorway from Sakura. Thanks for the heads up. What a beautiful piece and a great price point. I love the JDM

Been eyeing these for a while on eBay. Thanks for the review Gary.

Yes Seiko GS dials rock! Gary, your reviews are informative and . . . yes, entertaining.

I have the 029 for about 7 months now. Bought it because it gave me platinum daytona vibes. These are actually great value, regardless if its quartz.

Love the dark grey one. That's my absolute favorite one. But they all look great. Thanks for the great video love your channel.

great video, great angle, steady and focus and commentary, smooth, to the point, nice perspective, non repetitive, and nice looking Seiko

I love 'em all! I want 'em all! WATCHES! WATCHES! WATCHES! Where's my coffee gone... Might be just my devices but the sound level seemed real low on that one. Thanks again Gary!

Love the gun metal one and the blue one . Always been s sucker for blue dials.

That blue dial looks fantastic. I'm fine with 4.30 dates as long as it is colour matched

Seiko makes great products. I bought a clock for $200 in 1990, and here we are 30 yrs later and still the most accurate clock ever.

G'day Gary, a beautiful bunch of watches. I actually love the Black and Gold, always been a fan of those colours. They match my team, the Mighty Richmond Tigers in the Australian Football League. I don't think you'll have any problems selling them. Have a good one mate.

All lovely looking watches. That blue dial version is the pick of the bunch imho.

All of them look great, thanks for showing them 👍

That grey/rose gold looks awesome!!

Great looking watches and as always fantastic content 👍

Agree stunning. Yep blue and the gun metal rose gold ones are my fav

Glad to have found your channel. Subscribed !

Love the channel. Value your opinion but got to say. I really like the black and gold. Looks great to me but also love the dark blue as well as the rose gold

I saw your review of the 027 a while back and actualy got mine 3 days ago and i love it, it's my first quality watch. Thank you for your reviews, you help out a lot

These seem very nice. I'm in a diver phase so the chronos will have to wait a while. 😂 Nice showcase. Keep up the great work for us!

Love seiko watches. Good looking watches at a very reasonable price.

WOW MAN you've made it recognition from Oisin O Malley Timeless Watch Channel last night on his live stream ,along with Jody .Nice one

The baby blue dial is my fav then maybe the all silver (which surprised me). Loved that light play on the blue/black dial though 👌🏻

That blue one really surprised me…well worth getting them in to see them in person.

Can't believe you guys are just discovering it now. I've sold a lot of these model from my Japan trip in 2020 and only few noticed when I put it on listing, a lot don't look impressed by photos until they find its beauty in person. The only thing I don't like about it is the alignment issues. Most do not notice it but the hour markers do not align sometimes with the bezel.

Great to see all the different colours

I bought the blue one last december and I have to say the watch is highly accurate since mine is still on time after two months, not a minute late or advanced. I love the blue dial. This is probably my only seiko that is a quartz since all my others are mechanical

Digging the black and the blue versions

Grand Seiko 🥰🤞🏻🤞🏻🍀🍀🙏🙏. Those are beautiful watches 🔥🔥

I bought the black one and a green one years ago. Great watches.

I know it's not a super popular choice, but I'm a sucker for gold hands on a black dial! That two tone one is definitely my pick of the bunch. Thanks for putting these on my radar!

I agree the "baby blue" is the best of one.

The dark gray and rose gold one is very nice. (imo)

That rose gold and grey is really good looking 👌

I bought the baby blue dial version about 6mos ago and I can confirm that for the price these are absolutely fantastic. The bracelets are, well....Seiko bracelets. So take that for what you will, but with a simple strap or bracelet change it really lifts them up. A super reliable Seiko, quartz grab and go and they look fantastic for less than $200 how can you go wrong. You would pay at least that, if not more for a micro or aliexpress brand.

Agreed - got the same and wanted to swap out the bracelet. Had a spare black and grey/blueish striped nato that I got free with a PaganiD watch. Stuck that on whilst I found a strap I was after, but I like it on the nato for now. Bracelet is fresh in the box in case I decide to sell it on.

Justin the pro diver is made with a Seiko movements, both the Seiko NH 35 a and also Seiko quartz movement, the best they make is a Swiss movement, both automatic and Rohnda quartz movement . The Seiko movement is excellent also. I am wearing a nice 60 dollar automatic invicta with Seiko NH 35 a movement. These can be had new on ebay for under 100 dollars , some models such as the titanium pro diver are around 120 dollars new. I am salivating over the Pepsi bezel blue dial titanium watch right now. Invicta makes many different designs to choose from. Avoid anything invicta makes without a Swiss or japense movement. Many of their watches such as the pro diver are based on Rolex designs so they are very handsome , comfortable and functional. Then they make the oversized diver watches also that are super fancy. The most handsome watch I own that gets more complements than any watch I have ever seen is a gold invicta sub aqua Noma 1 , they can be found between the 150 dollar to 300 dollar range normally. Comes in both Swiss and Japanese movements. These watches look just as good(better) than most Rolex watches. You will just have to go through the designs and shop. You won’t break the bank and not stress about scratching a ten thousand dollar watch. Try product family code of PF 16826 , I believe the model number on this watch is 39348 , EBay is one of the best places to buy a invicta watch. You can also find them at TJ max frequently , if you want to fit and try one on then buy one on line is a good way of saving some money on your watch collection. I personally think the invicta is a much better watch than Seiko, they have nicer finish and design than the Seiko do. Thanks for the reply. Always nice to converse with fellow watch enthusiasts.

@@max420thc I had a pro driver with a nh35. Given it has hollow end links and pressed clasp I soon realised that if a homage is what you're after, Aliexpress offers a much better experience (quality wise) for the same money or marginally more. I ended up putting my pro diver (open heart) dial and movement into a 40mm "Maxi" black PVD case and on a black silicone strap + black glide lock clasp - love that watch. had a few gold plated watches over the years, but to be honest, the finish just doesnt last. call me a snob (though hopefully can't be as I dont own any!) but I came to a realisation that if i was to have gold (case/bracelet) I want it to be solid. I have shifted to thinking that watches are a store of memories and so I want that watch to have longevity in terms of reliability and also finish (for if/when I hand them down) Sounds like we have the same tastes just at different timings. Keep enjoying the journey!

Nice colour options . Cheers Gary

I have that watch also... a bit out of my normal but it really caught my eye for a $100 watch..

I have one of these, they are exceptional for the money.

That chocolate bezel is amazing

Again great review. Sorry my son said he doesn't like the chronograph. Oh well

SBTRO11 is simply beautiful.

Great value for money , thanks

They look excellent! 😀

Thanks for sharing them all.I have the baby blue…liked the grey gold as well…mmmm!. Do I buy another. Oh and these are so much more than a cheap Ali equivalent

This is what the new speedtimer should cost. Seems like Seiko still offers value for the JDM market

Wow they are good looking watches, id definitely would take off the cheap steal clasp and put on a cloth strap or experiment on some NATO straps... although I don't need a tachimeter style watch ever and wouldn't want one TBH, there are some great watches by Japan that are amazing and enjoyable. I've got Casio g shock, a Seiko mechanical and a JDM citizen promaster in titanium, they really great. Great video. 👍

Is the date aperture centered exactly between the 4 and 5 applied batons? For some reason I cannot fathom, some manufacturers place the date window between 4 and 5 but not equidistant from the two markers.

They are a great value and look class

Awesome watches

What is the size of the sbtr013? I see in some places they say 42.2mm . while in this video it says 39 mm

I like that gold accents one.

I have the green dial...beautiful

Hi, just a quick question. You mention import taxes to the UK, is that paid when the watch is delivered or on purchase? I’m new to this so completely in the dark on this matter. Can you give a ball park figure on what the taxes are if I purchase 1 of these watches.? Thanks for any help and advice you can offer.

Beautiful watches 🙌

Where can I find the website to buy direct from Japan , love Seiko and Casio

I like the grey with rose gold model.

How do they compare to the Seiko Speedtimer Chronographs (SSC81x) in terms of quality and finish?

Seiko Daytona homage

I'm wearing the 015 right now. I'm a small time collector and I can confirm the 015 is extremely nice for the price. I own a tissot prx and IMO the seiko seems more premium than the PRX, excluding the bracelet. So yeah, $150 seiko essentially seeming nicer than a Tissot PRX side by side...

Got me hooked Gary. So, why is the Seiko super advertised and hyped recent chrono arround 700€ retail?

Someone told me JDM is the same with global it was a hilarious joke 🤣 If you could do more JDM unboxing and reviews please don't hesitate

I liked your channel so much I went to buy a watch from your ebay but you won't ship to NJ now it's a sad day no 1953 Invicta for me

I agree. There's nothing like the feeling of looking at a mechanical watch and hoping it's actually the right time.

Affordable stuff kudos.

Lovely watches, shame I don't need a chronograph !

I’m going to have to get one. When are you going to sell yours. I’ll keep checking your store.

Yes some vintage watch is great. Seiko is quality good watch

Is the seller an authorised dealer for Seiko, don’t seem to have any information on the website ?

I love a Seiko, but as I get older, i find that I need higher contrast, and less detail on the watch face. My 7S26-0020 is still my watch of choice..

I think the trick to these cheap JDM watches is to buy a high quality aftermarket metal bracelet and them move it between watches as you wear the, assuming the same lug width of course.

The dial is a little busy for my taste. If I had to pick a color, I would go for the black and gun metal.

i like the first and third

Was there supposed to be a link?

I have never had much luck with Seiko watches, to bee honest. Just one example, I received a nice Seiko chronograph for a present, a few years ago now. It functioned fine for around 5 years, then when it was time for a battery replacement, I was informed that it wasn't a battery issue but the watch itself was faulty. /Had a similar experience with one I bought for my wife. I have consequently lost faith in Seiko.

From what I can gather any Seiko having an even number model designates gold or rose gold accents.

Great watches. I just wish they weren't chronos. Great clip though.

How much is the vat on the watches?

Look great but not easy for me to read the time. I think I like the blingy first one best.

I wish these come with eco drive because every time I have my battery change they either screw up my watch or the battery life is horrible. Sick and tired of battery changes which is why I only buy mechanical or the solar eco drive quartz. I will make an exception with the Grand Seiko quartz someday
