Join me on my unique Watch Collecting journey, as I try to find that Watch that just fits the wrist perfectly like a glove. Share in the ups and downs, everything I've learnt and the surprises I've found collecting. Its FREE!
I felt the same way when I bought an SKX007 a couple of years ago. A bit underwhelmed and think that others are better value or built like the Citizen NY0040. I have the Citizen NB1050 and think that it's a great watch and already better specs than the SARB033. I can appreciate it for what it was back then, but still can't understand the hype to this day. Great insight video. Thanks!

I think part of the disappointment that you felt is how far along you are in your watch collecting journey. If you got this earlier and you were new to watch collecting this will hold much value and happiness. It represents to me as an owner of one, a time when saphire, great size/fit and finishing was unheard of at the time it was released. If you compare it now to some new releases it will definitely disappoint, it can even be beaten by some alliexpress watch

Couldn't agree more. Citizen and Casio are unbeatable for budget-conscious buyers. I have the Citizen Eco-Drive BM8550-14A on a bracelet and no matter how closely you inspect it, there's no telling where the solar panels are on one of the clearest white dials your ever likely to see. The finishing is gorgeous, and it feels so comfortable on the wrist. My last great everyday watch was a Citizen Eco Drive and my next one probably will be too. Subbed.

Off-putting; if you can redo that please... Also, when showing the seconds hand hitting the marker, you need to hold/place the watch square to the camera.

I am not a guy but I like this King Seiko model. It is beautiful. I like the dark purple one though. Agree with the design of the watch on the wrist. Very fitting. I have seiko watches in both 4R and 6R movements. I think both of them have similar problems though. My alpinist on the 6R runs the best. But the 4R on the pressage seems to be running a bit off if you don't wear it daily and rely on the winding on most days.

Nice review, i have this GMT-1758 Map version and a GMT-1693. But i found the 1693 is much well made of. It's only flaw is fixed bezel, limited dial color option. But the bracelet and clasp of 1693 is also vert strong and nice. I expected more from the 1758 but except for the NH34 movement i got disappointed to see the quality when i put the two watches together, Besides i likes the 42mm dial. of 1693. Anyway about accuracy of time keeping i still haven't noticed any specificity of 1758. Apparently both performs the same. Don't know which movement does 1693 has but as a layman i didn't notice any difference. Price of 1758 is much higher in AliExpress. I must mention that in my 1758 watch the GMT hand doesnt properly aligns up with the hour indicator but it wasn't an issue with 1693. I informed the seller about this.
