They have their own design in the Silent Service. Same excellent build quality.
Thank you for watching and commenting!
I’m truly shocked at how many people appear to have zero idea how deep 50m is 😮 Do you folk realise that an average swimming pool is only 3m deep ? Where are you all going that this watch would be in danger 🤷🏼♂️
We’re searching for the lost city of Atlantis 👍🏼 😂
Mate that into song sounds familiar. Naughty naughty
@@baburadil456 It’s free to use for everyone in the KZread studio. Also Dave is my friend, I’ve known him for 5 years, I’m sure he wouldn’t mind. Furthermore that’s actually a nod to him, since Seiko is from Japan and Dave lives there 👍🏼
I concur with amenhotep. Such a fine watch but seiko won't spring for a sapphire crystal. In this day and age a sapphire crystal is a must have. Seiko should include sapphire on ALL their watches.
@@verep1653 Agree 💯
Thanks for this watch review, and great photography! Is the top crown (for the internal rotating bezel) a screw-down crown? And if it's not a screw-down, does the internal bezel generally stay in place when the watch is worn? Also, are the bracelet links and end-links solid or hollow?
Solid links and the top crown doesn’t screw down and will potentially move. Thank you for watching!
@@SoCalWatchReviews Thanks for this information! I think a screw-down top crown would've been better, but I suppose Benrus wanted to make it like the original.
Look at that dial! I’d almost want the whole dial to have that moisture texture….but the half treatment is interesting. That sapphire bubble bezel insert looks sweeeet! Really like the knurling there and the crown.
@@WatchWitt I too wish the moisture treatment was on the entire dial. Thank you for watching!
Maybe people would buy the Presage if it actually had a Sapphire crystal piped on that beauty.
@@amenhotep7704 I really wish it did! Thank you for watching.
I absolutely love this watch!
@@Tdr-jv2nc Looks awesome in person!
Great video, cant wait to see this one in person
@@Spooner007 Thank you 🙏 and I highly recommend you do!
Thanks for the great review! It’s stunning. I hope more brands do none dive style GMT’s. I love the look of the Vario Empire GMT also. Off to find some horchata to drink with my lunch…
@@adk7962 Agree and I’m glad someone understood the horchata reference 👍🏼 thank you 🙏 for watching!
That is a lovely Seiko great pick!!
@@Z-S-H I agree and thank you for watching!
The size is just too big for a dressy case
@@carlogalopo2605 👍🏼 thank you for watching!
Seiko keeps "getting away with..." With what? That's a misleading title for a (well deserved) wholly positive review. I enjoy your content, but you're click baiting here.
It’s meant in a positive way. “How do they keep getting away with making such good products!” It’s sort of a meme now, I don’t think it’s meant to be misleading.
@@TeiwazTheGoat Obviously you have a goat brain.
@@urbanus3546Baaaaaa
@@scubaru100 No doubt this is a clickbait title, I need the views. My videos take close to 20hrs to creat and my views suck. I appreciate you watching 👍🏼
@@TeiwazTheGoat Thank you for defending me and I truly appreciate you watching!
Thought i was watching dave from just the watch for a second 😄
@@user-ig6nu4oo5p 😂 🎵
It does indeed look like an aged dial. Its kinda cool! In a hundred years this will still look timeless! This is the watch you wear to a company function or formal event so I can live with the 50m and mineral crystal. Thanks for sharing man and have a fantastic day!
@@johanvandersandt8904 You bring up a great point my man and I appreciate you as always!
@@SoCalWatchReviews Thanks bro! Take care!
It doesn't. It looks like a fake aged dial that's obnoxiously weird in every single part of it
@@GEMSofGOD_com Thank you for sharing your thoughts 👍🏼
@@SoCalWatchReviews Presage has all the potential to be great though! I bet you can feel how each part of it can be just slightly different and really become an amazing watch! I do hope.
A watch for Aliexpress Johnny Depp
@@GEMSofGOD_com 😂
Very much GS sbgm221 vibes. For the money it's a lovely watch pimped with a better strap. I've got fond memories of your video on the Grand Seiko with different strap configurations helped me decide in a positive way. Still in my small collection now with about 5 different straps.
@@stephengarratt8027 Thank you for the continued support and congrats on the acquisition 👍🏼
4:07 my man can't pronounce bracelet...
@@patrickbateman9340 👍🏼 yup
Inta...resting!!! I was on-boarding from the thumbnail. Colorway goes crazy and the theme of having a breach is dope! I'd rock this all day!!!
@@Trapvision3D Awesome watch man, I hope you get to see one in person 👍🏼
What a fun summer watch, I would like the whole dial to have those bubbles though!
@@BrokeWatchFanatic Thank you for watching and I agree with you my friend!
That’s cool! Midori Sour was the first drink I bought my wife back in undergrad before we had even dated. Colors look supercool and specs are perfect. 😎👍
@@DavidSchwartzjr Midori Sour is definitely a girly drink and my wife’s favorite. Thank you for the support my friend ❤️
Thank you immensely for explaining our Midori Sour Shaker Automatic GMT in such detail! The surprises are not over yet, so we invite you to stay tuned and mark your calendar for Thursday, July 25, 2024, at 18:45 CEST. There will be a big announcement. Thanks again to everyone and a hug from Italy 🙏👋
@@ooo-outoforderdamagedinita4617 Thank you 🙏 for the support and I look forward to seeing what you guys are cooking 👏
Your watches are amazing, but have you ever considered making a gmt under 40mm? Would buy one on the spot.
Cool watch. I like how they did that bubbled upper part of the dial.
@@TimeToGoTravelAndTimepieces Me too man, it looks very cool. Thank you for watching!
I have seen two of these OOO watches here in South Africa and they seem rather interesting! That dial though would freak me out haha! Love the color of it! I like the distressed look because then I can go nuts knowing its already scratched and I am just adding a bit more rather than having to ruin my own watch haha! Thanks for sharing this awesome watch man! Take care and have a great week!
@@johanvandersandt8904 I had no idea you lived in Africa, that’s awesome! This watch is very cool in person!! Thank you for watching and have a great week man.
@@SoCalWatchReviews Yes sir! For better or worse haha! My pleasure man! Take care and God bless!
I wish the case were smaller and the chapter ring was less visible like the Rolex Explorer.
@@grneal26 These were not regular production models and all sold out. However in a regular production model, I can totally see your point of view.
This thing costs 600 where I am ... for a watch without proper water resistance that I have to wind by hand. This is thing is a rip-off.
@@doctorcatnip2551 $600 is definitely up there. Thank you for watching.
My wife loves hers and indeed its here first mechanical and real watch!
@@VladTepes1984 very nice 👏
I think you should take a closer look at the logo the subtle detail on the A and L are very well done. I also much prefer their font choice on the automatic and water resistance markings compared to San Martin who truly does use the most basic font you can find. I appreciate that Baltany leans for subtlety and attention to detail over loud and ornate logo design. There’s not a single Chinese homage watch brand logo I would rate higher than baltany and I challenge you to show me one that is actually more pleasing to look at on the dial if your watch
@@TimChang-n6h Thanks for the comment and watching 👍🏼
I’ve been looking at this watch for a while now. I attended the Chicago Wind Up Show last week and placed my order for the 42mm white with SS bracelet and orange and black rubber. Fantastic quality, great looking watch. Took 4 days to receive it. 5 year warranty, if your on the fence don’t be!!
@@davidslack6243 nice congrats 🍾
Nice review on the Lucky Harvey. I also just watched your review on the GA-100 which was on point and very good. You’ve earned a subscriber today and I look forward to watching more of your videos. 👍✌️
@@abmtnbkr I appreciate you and thank you 🙏
Beautiful Chrono, M! Stunning shots! Congrats!!
@@BraveBeaters Thank you 🙏 brother ❤️ Unfortunately the watch is not mine, it was loaned to me, but looking to pick one up in the future!
Just stop these asinine and irrelevant comparisons with watches in a completely different league! Just review the Ginault as objectively as possible (which, of course, is difficult as you're trying to sell this Rolex copy)
@@peterlandbo2726 👍🏼
Probably better to save up for the real thing. Buy once, cry once.
💯
My only gripe is how the hour and minute are displayed. It's gonna take me a while to read it correctly
@@byoutifulmonster you get use to it really quick. Thank you for watching.
Design appears to be one of several recent models that borrow from the Eone Bradley, which has a more coherent aesthetic and is better made (titanium instead of copper).
@@alexispowell8263 Thanks for watching and letting me know 👍🏼
Stunning watch. I've been looking at this particular color. Thanks for the quick review!
Definitely worth the price and thank you for watching!
I like the novelty of these watches, but 100 buck is way too expensive for this. Aliexpress has magnetic wtaches for 20-30 bucks.
Thank you for watching and sharing your thoughts 👍🏼
The case is made of copper because the steel one will not work with magnetic movement due to it inherent magnetism.
Thank you for watching and sharing your knowledge 👍🏼
Hello and thanks for this video. 30 meters, that's the point? This is more a dress watch water resistance than a professional/tool watch looking as this one, don't you think ?
@@user-ke6xt1yl1l I definitely wouldn’t take this swimming, thank you for watching!
A copper case? Interesting. I love untreated copper but many people dont because of the patina. I think this is an interesting piece and one of the most interesting magnet watches I have seen thus far! Thank you for sharing bro!
@@johanvandersandt8904 Thank you 🙏 for your thoughts and the support my friend!
@@SoCalWatchReviews 🙂👌
I have strict rules for myself on when I will buy a Homage watch. I fully respect those who love them and hate them. I do draw the line at Counterfeit watches. And for me a counterfeit is using another watch’s logo and brand without permission. Thanks for the honest review.
@@adk7962 Thank you 🙏 for sharing and watching!
Its says on the site of the 36mm "anti-reflective sapphire crystal" .do you know if its like the one you reviewed or if they have changed something? Because i dont know what the specs on the one you review were mentioning but it was reflective.thanks
@@charalamposkarydas3694 Great question and to be honest I don’t know if they listened and changed the crystal (doubt it), thank you 🙏 for watching!
The king has no clothes.
👍🏼 thank you for watching!
Ball are such a good brand in the part of the market they operate in. I have a skin diver mk3 and its a really well made watche. The in house movement is really good for the price range with 80 hours power reserve and chronometer standard. Only Oris can match that. Also love being able to use it as a beside clock due to the tritium which just doesnt show up well on camera but is perfectly bright and visible with night adjusted eyes.
@@nikc1313 Thank you for watching and commenting 👍🏼
Stunning watch and great video! Btw just a heads up, the reference is SSC939, might wanna update the title :)
I appreciate the support and thanks for the heads up!
I am late to the party but I am here! This is a super sexy Seiko! It looks awesome man! One of my favorite Seiko's you have reviewed in a while! Thanks for sharing brother! 😉👌
@@johanvandersandt8904 Better late than never. I appreciate you my man!
😉👌
Such an interesting question. Is the Rolex worth the premium? In real terms, clearly not. An unitiated person could easily prefer the looks of the Baltany and the improved movement is far worse in all functional respects than a decent quartz movement. The name Rolex does have value and history but most of all, I think, if we are being honest, the Rolex makes the statement that you are a successful person who can afford to wear it.
@@Hemebean well said!
They went to town on lume on this compared to the panda versions!
I need to check out the 🐼 one (might buy one 👍🏼)
