Seiko 5 SNZH53 Watch Review

In typical Seiko fashion, the proportions on the SNZH53 are spot on. If you’ve messed with a few divers from the brand, you’ll probably find this to be one of the more “compact” designs available.

Seiko SKX013 Community Review

I also felt the classic combination of a black face and black bezel would pair well with the different personal styles of the reviewers. I also decided to include a few NATO style straps in various colors to help the reviewers integrate the Seiko SKX comfortably with their preferred wardrobe. I did offer the stock Seiko jubilee as well.

Seiko SBDC061 Watch Review

I think the combination of features and quality makes this a high-value prospect. I enjoyed my time with this watch and now that I think of it, I may want to put this head to head with one of the newer Shoguns to see if it can make its way into my collection…

Seiko 6139-7000: Going Rogue on the Pogue

I want to love the Pogue. Lord, how I want to love the Pogue. It’s been to space, man, just like the beloved Speedmaster but (unlike the Omega) can be had for a more than reasonable price for a vintage piece with such provenance.

Ep. #91 The Seiko SKX007… That’s What The Whole Show Is About

After having a blast focusing on the Vostok Amphibia, the guys tackle another iconic watch in the affordable spectrum, the Seiko SKX007. Before kicking things off though, Kaz and Mike look back at what it was like growing up in south Florida and getting excited about air shows. Thankfully, the Blue Angels allowed for a quiet recording session, even though they were performing all weekend close to downtown Seattle.

Seiko Prospex SNE498 & SNE499 Solar ‘Tuna’ Dive Watches

Now, while both of these watches play a part in idolizing the big, bad Seiko Tunas of the past, it’s important to note one fundamental difference: water resistance. Both the SNE498 & SNE499 are water-resistant to 200m while the original Golden Tuna was capable of 600m.
