I bought a “Tuna” 600m Titanium in 1977 and have worn it every day since. Dived with it, crashed motorbikes with it on and even been in a plane crash that totalled the aircraft while wearing it. I am still wearing it today and its never missed a beat.

Seiko is the Toyota of watches. Impeccable reliability for the money.

..yes, but remember a few short years ago Toyota were very bad in terms of corporate truthfulness and responsibility to their customers...as was Chevrolet...Seiko so far is faultless...and they haven't tried to cover-up their watches having been responsible for having killed anybody...to my knowledge...

I've got a Sea Urchin, a Shogun and a Samurai. My favorite is the Samurai.

Interesting pieces. Your content is my inspiration. Keep up the good work. Regards.

This is easily one of my favourite Urban Gentry videos to date. Hugo was right: this is a treat. Thank you, TGV, for your work on this piece. This is a wonderful way to unwind (pardon the horrible pun) and start the weekend. Cheers to you and cheers to the weekend, my friend. 🍷

While the “sk5” is starting to grow on me, the Seiko Skx007 has my vote as does its little brother the Skx0013. The snk803 was the gateway drug that I am still enamoured with.

Always a pleasure to be greeted by Hugo in the intro send him my regards also hope you are well my friend onward and up words thank you for the amazing content during these awkward times👍

Thanks for this great episode TGV! Really love to see all those iconic Seikos in ONE video! Keep it up! All the best from Germany, Daniel

Thanks TGV, always a pleasure to watch such informative content with Seiko clearly offering so much for every style of collector! Stay safe good man, onwards an upwards..

Hell yeah, love when you do seiko reviews.

What a joy to watch! Thank you for the effort you put into these videos

Great video TGV! Class act as always! I quite fancy trying a monster. I’m growing more fond of broad arrow hour hands for some reason and love the tool aesthetic of the monster!

Talk about timing! I just bought my first ever Seiko - a Prospex "Samurai" (ref SRPB49). Loving it!

Nice Video! Seiko has every kind of watch category covered. Like learning history of each piece. Gives greater appreciation

Amazing video. I got excited just reading the title, seeing as how Seiko is my favorite brand.Please do more videos like this and more SEIKO. Thanks TGV. SEIKO IS KING !!!

Man. Your video editing is just top notch. Thank you.

Very well thought out, thanks for your hard work

I’m kind of new to the whole watch scene, but have been pointed in the direction of Seiko for something sensible, classy and affordable. This was very insightful thank you.

Excellent and wonderfully produced video! Thanks 🙏

I love it when you review watches that would not be carried by Watchbox due to their relative affordability (with the exception of a couple on your list). I’m wearing my silver “Pogue” today which is one of many that I own. The history of it is inspiring.

Just in time for Seiko Saturday! A reason to identify days of these crazy times. 😄 Cheers 🍷

I was doubly thrilled to see the Flighty and the photo of the F4U-1D Corsair together at 8:17. I have a copy of that photo signed by original VMF-214 Blacksheep pilots that I meet at one of their reunions. It is amazing how a quick image like this can bring back a flood of memories!

Superb, just what a covid Sunday needs. Thank you. ❤️

Great in depth information!!!! Awesome!!!

This is hands down the best horology channel of all time. A joy to watch. Bravo Sir!

Another cracking video. Keep up the good work TGV!

Love the 5KX with a green dial and green Nato strap. Your videos are truly outstanding.

When I get around to purchasing my first Seiko I decided I'll start with the Seiko 5 SNK809 since it's so affordable. I'd also like to get the Seiko "Arnie" as I am a huge fan of his and he made that watch pretty badass. And now I want that "Darth Vader" lol.

I fell in love with the Baby Tuna SRP637, been my beater watch for years and I still love looking at it with adoration.

What an awesome video again. Thank you TGV!

I really enjoyed that! Excellent list. I'm very fond of my Limited Edition Blue Fin Baby Tuna and my Coral Blue Sumo. Seiko is definitely the dominant brand in my collection

I love my SKX009j and SARB017, they are keepers in the collection for sure. Pre-Prospex ‘X’, pre-cyclops nonsense, pre-price hikes.

Great topic .. Thanks TGV

This was a cool video. Thanks for making it!

You've got it Covered TGV, I've had my Sea urchin on for 2 weeks. Seiko just hit my Heart❤😊👍

I recently got my first Seiko Samurai with the srpc91 save the ocean model. I to say I love the watch is an understatement. Just love the dial and it is so beautifully crafted. Thanks for the great list! Can't wait to add more seiko's to my collection

Just wanted to drop you a note on how much you have meant to me and my new love for mechanical watches. I inherited a Rolex Sub Mariner and started looking for watch channels when I found the Urban Gentry. After watching everything you had my interest expanded into the horology of of watches and I developed a real appreciation for the art of watchmaking. I decided to take an online class on watchmaking so that I would be able to further my knowledge of mechanical watches as well as buy broken pieces and bring them back to life to further my watch collecting. Now it is turning into a sickness. As I get further into the whole watch hobby at a higher level, I still always come back to your channel to get your insights and option on watches of all price levels. Thank you for lighting the fire.

Love this channel I'm so glad I found it. Your videos are always entertaining and informative. Much love from The Bahamas.

Just threw on the SKX007 just to watch the show. Glad to hear you are well. You should be very proud of what you have accomplished. I feel like a kid (damn near 38) whose favorite show has just come on every time I see your videos pop up. They never let me or my son down. Onwards and upwards. Thanks TGV!!

Best Gentry video in a while! Kudos.

Stargate SG1 is probably my favorite TV show. It's awesome that you mentioned that watch. Great video!

In this video you were very inspired! The playlist is awesome... Very iconic pieces such as the Seikos are.

You did an awesome job listing these watches thank you very much.

Great show and very informative T. Stuart

The 55 Fathoms was my first foray into Seiko watches, doing the dial swap myself. Also worth noting that the water resistance of the Seiko 5 watches is 100m, which equals 55 fathoms. Another reason for the nickname!

Hi TGV So many legendary designs from Seiko and in multiple price layers too. I’m mainly a Swiss watch person, but surely understand you declaring yourself a Seiko guy. The unsnobbish and innovative attitude of the company surely make them a force to be reckoned with😊👍 I like many of the models, mainly of the more dressy kind. That you can get such pretty and high quality watches as the Presages at that prices is very tempting. So go on Seiko - make the Swiss work for their money😆 Nice vid, keep up the good work👍

Amazing video You couldn't do better than the best You are the best!!!

Ok, i guess sleep have to wait... i need to see this... 🙏🏽 thank you for fantastic content as always

Love this list 👍🏻 thank you

Aweome video. I love my Sea Urchin and Arnie, hopefully they upgrade the Sea Urchin in the future to have hacking. Looking forward to the next video. Keep up the good work.

Great content as always!!!

awesome videos, as always, congrats.

Really great and entertaining and informative

what a superb video for Seiko lovers. Chapeau my friend this is brilliant. simples! now to watch it again.

Thanks TGV! It really is a treat to Seiko fans!

Great video TGV! ❤️

My favorite brand!! Great video! The day I'm wearing the B42, you post this video LOL Hope you're doing well. Cheers!

I’ve loved Seiko since I was a boy. I have many on your list, including the magnificent 6105. It is so very special and my favourite. I now have multiple different Tunas as well. I think they are the most iconic of all Seiko divers. Thank you for the fantastic video 👌

I have an 5KX. I just love it. Thx TGV for this very nice video! I salute you from Romania.

Good morning from Australia TGV! Over the last 12 months your content has made me a seiko 'tragic'. Woke up this 'Seiko' saturday to another fantastic video. I can see another purchase coming! Wearing my 'Flighty' today.

Great video Very interesting and entertaining to watch Thank you And keep it up

OMG, you put my favourite classical music in the background. I adore the 1812 Overture, a masterpiece only improved if you know the history behind it. Impeccable taste, TGV

Watching this wearing my 1st gen Orange Monster. As always, love your work.

Great video, thanx dude.

Perfect video sir! Seikoholic greetings from Germany, well done!!!

Nice, and nicely done.

Awesome video 😊

Beautiful and comprehensive list

So glad to see the "Sea Urchin" on your lists.. It is a very special watch given to me by my Girlfriend last Christmas 😊 ..

TGV, when are we gonna see a review of the Seiko SRPD line? Cheers

Another great video. With all those model names and numbers, could’ve done with some onscreen captions detailing the different models, but that aside, great work. 👍🏻👍🏻

Brilliant video

The Seiko Arnie is the first watch I visually recognized and remembered as a kid. Didn't realize Captain Willard had one too! The Doxa Sub 300 "Black Lung" and the 300T "Dirk Pitt".

great video as always, I wouldn't mind adding any of those watches in my collection all great pieces

Awesome episode!

Just purchased a 5, SNKL19. But I feel like I started collecting with my Deep Blue Cocktail. Love it! Great vid.

Great stuff cheers mate!

I’ve had the seiko sea urchin for about 2 years now and it’s awesome I use to get compliments everyday on the watch when I first started wearing it and I still love it and wear it almost everyday

Great video Tristano! Love the nod to Roger Moore at the end as well! Toodle pip!

One of your best!

Spectacular Seikolicious selections!

*Loving Hugo. TGV, you remain awesome dude.*

Great list! My favorite is the "Arnie" and I just recently got one. Absolutely chuffed to bits with it!

I was just looking at my collection in order of acquisition, and I realized how much your channel has changed my approach to collecting. While I do watch other channels on this hobby, yours was the first and best for me.

How come the SNK809 is not present on this list is something I really don't understand. It's the gateway watch into this hobby for sooooo many enthusiasts. It's a legendary piece already!
