One week ago I buy the Ocean of Storms in Louvre, they have plenty of them. It was easy and didnt have to wait, the Swatch store was empty.

There’s no reason for a FKN Seiko to be compared to Tudor. Fit and finish are light years ahead on the Tudor. Seiko bracelets suck.

This guy clearly wants to rile people up in a bid to increase video/channel engagement. How cute/clever...

Yeah but the Tudor cost 5 times more..

Great video. Your 5 watch selection at 6m.08 would make a killer one brand collection. Bar the green conquest, I'd agree with the other 4 choices. I'd swap the conquest green for a different colour

Was this a question anyone was really pondering? As you said, Seiko (the underdog) would never win this fight.

Now compare with a San Martin.

amzwatch is best watch factory!!!

amzwatch is best watch factory!!!

I have both. Love them both. Neither is better.if they were the same price, obviously the Tudor wins on quality. But the SPB143 is a badass looking watch.

Blackbay 58.

So, the SPB143 at a fraction of the price, is definitely better.

I have a spb147. Beautiful watch let down by a dreadful movement. At this price a watch not only should look good, in the eye of the beholder, but also keep good time. Otherwise It is merely a piece of jewellery. The 6r35 quality is inconsistent. Some are good and some are crap, much like seiko’s service centres.

Wait, you can get the 62 MAS for $500 and you think the Tudor is the better value? That math doesn’t math

It's an incorrect comparison, get Seiko of similar pricing or model for that specific target segment (e.g. Prospex LX, Grand Seiko). Secondly, the Tudor Pelagos not the Black Bay should be compared to this Seiko because the Seiko is an actual functional Tool Watch made for diving with larger dimensions to enhance readability under water and to accommodate being worn over/with a wet suit. The Seiko 62MAS re-interpretation was not built as a Tool Watch with dress watch dimensions.

You forgot one key point, the seiko is better... For you. Every watch can be better, it just depends upon who is considering the watch.

Seiko looks better, tudor has better finishing and movement

Excellent episode. I own and love the Tudor. It is a superb watch, one of my favorites in my collection. Subscribed :)

Down to money. You can’t compare

0:48 what is the brand of the NATO strap?

I bought this popular video watch from mamacoo , which was originally priced at a few thousand dollars, but now it's only $380! It's really suitable to pick up feces!

I used to like Seikos but since they started to make homages of their own watches (the FakeKX line) i lost interest. Most Seikos cost twice what they should.

Seiko £600. Winner!

You are comparing a 1200 dollar watch to a 4000+ dollar one, that's why the later one is better. Go get a 1926 and compare it to the GS see if your opinion still hold up.

Tudor has no date which is a missed opportunity.

I would not even compare a Grand Seiko to Tudor. European watches will always be the standard; same with cars. The Asian manufacturers in Japan & China are good at copying designs, but not innovating.

Seiko🎉

As a serious collector with all diving editions of both vendors and others, I think that Seiko is not a match for its Swiss counterpart as far as class and elegance. However, do not underestimate the accuracy of Seiko. Also, it takes a beating without breaking your heart.

Compare Apple to an Apple.

SPB453 You were saying something about size? And imagine a watch that's 3 times the price may have better finishing and better movement. Maybe next you can compare a 40k car with a 120k car. Nerds and their jewellery.

Comparing these is not fair, compare the SLA or sje-models with the 8L and 6L movements that lie way closer in price.

You need to include the Smiths Traveller watch, with a 9075 in a very well finished 38mm case, at a price of £395. They are rather hard to get, as Smiths' stock is quite erratic, but definitely worth the effort.

Nice video! Whats the olive nato you are using on the seiko? The links in the description don‘t work for me :/

Good comparison, a 1k watch vs a 3.5k watch shows Seiko truly is a good buy. People complain, whatever. In my opinion however, the Tudor to be fair would be pit against the SJE101 or SLA075. Or the bigger MM300 or SLA051. In those comparisons you will see what true dial and hand finishing looks like, zaratsu polishing and a forged movement. Would be a good comparison

I own both, totally agree with the reviewer. Largest drawback of the SPB143 is the bracelet which is a major letdown

Both are overpriced for what they offer

The SJE093 would be a better comparison.

I think the 143 looks way better! But thats about it.

One reason is enough - that movement in the Seiko is easily the worst movement in the world among serious watches. Seiko is ruining their brand fast.

To give the Seiko a fair shot, compare the Tudor to the SLA043

Tried Seiko SPB143 recently, it’s a beautiful watch but it feels does not belong on my wrist. Will buy Citizen pro master diver automatic instead, titanium but cheaper and better design

The fact we are comparing this Seiko with a Tudor 4 times the price is very telling of how great this watch is.

That’s an admirably objective assessment, thanks. I’m going to throw in some shamelessly subjective thoughts: -I’m have an SPB143, and I really like the sunburst silver dial and quiet, monochrome look of the watch. -I’m bored with the BB58, every man and his dog has one, and you can’t escape them on Instagram & other watch media. -I’m fed up with the snowflake hand, can’t bear to look at it any more, it’s got to the point where I just scroll straight past any Tudors that have it. -I don’t like the Tudor’s slab-sided case -a dive watch with polished case sides just doesn’t look right, it’s an attempt to be diver & desk-diver simultaneously and fails. So I’ll be enjoying my Seiko…

Seiko sob 453 is more handsome than Tudor 58❤😊

I have the blue dial with green pointer date. Very nice!

Hallo!! Have you seen the SPB453 in person Yet?

I think my Seiko would have been perfect if it wasn’t for the terrible accuracy. I’m jealous of your numbers. It’s the reason I sold it. Even the service center couldn’t regulate it further than -30.

If anyone wants this watch but dont have the funds…go get yourself a seestern 38mm 62mas homage. I have a SLA043 and a SPB297, the Seestern is just as good for the price!

Gosh. An extra 2 hours of poor timekeeping 😂😂

It's my number one, the last watch in my collection I would ever sell. It feels perfect on my wrist. And it keeps me from buying Sinn 856, Laco etc., because all their wonderful features are already present in the Petit Prince.
