I finally got a Seiko SBDC051!! Unboxing First Impressions
Hi Josh…. Great video really enjoyed it, id actually took ya advice before seeing the value deo and bought and sbgp001 quartz which is the same as the sbga373 SD with champagne dial. Love your mid night blue dial though…. So classy!! What happened to the review for the sbgn013 quartz I am looking to buy and wanted to see you opinion?
Nice vid! If I left a sharp bag like that out on my porch…I’d have three mice or a chipmunk inside of it in the morning….or a bear or raccoon would have walked off with it!! Seriously, tho - if you can invert the bag over something supportive overnight, there is less chance of water staining to the bottom of the bag as it dries. And dark colors clean up soooo much better than light tones, IMHO!!💕
Been watching watch videos since the advent of it in youtube. This is an Excellent video , subbed! Keep it up
Subscribed. 👍🫡🇺🇸
I love the silver rim look more nice I have the manta everybody ask about the watch everybody like the inside rim
The Tissot would be my pick it’s a super special watch that does it all and is so refreshing to see.
I don’t know if the Pelagos is comparable to the Sub. I see it as a foil to the Sea Dweller, with less, unnecessary, depth rating! And, best of all, the cool 116600 reference not the 126600 cyclops, oversized, 43mm! It’s a modern, stealth wealth SD4000!
That seamaster white bezel is so amazing
My vintage coach I purchased is smoked filled on the inside and out. I have washed my bag several times and each time the water is black from the smoke. Do you have any suggestions?
Yikes! My only advice is to keep at it but depending on how bad it is, sometimes there is no bringing that back. You can add a few caps of white vinegar to the water too to try to deodorize it.
I want one
What a lovely presentation. I'm also a guy and about to pull the trigger on this white PO. It's 100 percent unisex in my book. Looks equally great on men and women.
Where u buy the stand ?
Great video. Regarding the titanium weight, it’s not as light as you’d think. I’ve held a titanium citizen which is feather light. This still has some weight to it. I appreciate your video as it was one of the ones I watched and kept watching prior to buying my Pelagos last week.
Congratulations on the Pelagos! And YES. It’s not lightweight at all, it’s shocking how much heft it has. I wouldn’t even want to imagine how heavy it would be in steel!
This collection is so close to mine... very close. Lovely to see and great taste 👌 My watch collection is- - G-Shock MRG-B5000B-1DR (Square) - G-Shock MRG-B2000B-1A1DR (Black) - Cartier Santos ADLC Black - Grand Seiko Snowflake Spring Drive - Grand Seiko Tentagraph - Omega Seamaster 300 Chronograph (9900 caliber) - Omega Speedmaster Moonphase (9904 caliber) - Rolex GMT Master 2 "Rootbeer" - Hanhart 417ES (Steve McQueen) 😊
I then have a second watchbox collection with my 'beater' watches. I love my beater watches as they take a lot of abuse, DIY, high risk tasks and environments. Casio DW-290-1V (Mission Impossible) G-Shock GA-B2100-1AER (DIY) G-Shock MTG-B3000FR (Solar Flare) G-Shock GWG-2000-1A1ER (Gardening Mudmaster) G-Shock GWG-2000-1A3ER (Camping Mudmaster) Samsung Galaxy S4 Smartwatch (Work Projects)
"Stealth Wealth"... I like it. High end and tough without being flashy. Glock, Toyota trucks, Go Ruck bags come to mind.
Love the comparison! I’m a Glock guy, own a Tacoma, and picking up a Pelagos 42 this week.👍🏼
Great video
Thanks for the breakdown Josh! This bag would be identifited by the "221" style and then the -4 or the -7 (for color designation) correct? I see there are two different underseat bags listed on B&R webpage the 221 and then the BL221 which one is a "cabin" and one is "underseat." Both of yours look to be the cabin bags and not the underseat? Thanks for your help;
Hello! Briggs and Riley changed the name of this thing multiple times over the years (and you might be right that the cabin might be its old name). Either way, the bag in the video has been discontinued for almost two years at this point so anything on the B&R site right now is the substantially lower quality new model which might also have a different naming/number convention.
Edit: I just looked at the B&R site and it does look like the one I have that’s shown in the video isn’t listed on the site. There are now two “underseat” bags, the new version of this (which I don’t recommend) is the “Underseat Duffle” for $289 USD and comes in black, army green, and a blue.
@@joshswatches appreciate your feedback. I have purchased the older 221 per your recommendation. About a week before it arrived, I took ownership of what I believe is the bag before the 221 which is the B&R TD-321, which have almost the exact same features, but the 321 adds two interior end netting pockets and their front zippered outside pocket is deeper. The 321 also has a snap out waterproof pocket instead of the zippered back pocket on the 221. I can tell what a big fan you are of the 221! If you can find a gently used/not too expensive TD-321 on the secondary offerings (ebay/poshmark) I would recommend getting one and giving it a try. I would be super interested in hearing you compare the two although those two bags are discontinued. Enjoy the holiday weekend.
I own the same watch and absolutely love it. I purchased mine in tokyo, march 2023. To my understanding it is sold out everywhere in brand new condition. Please do an updated video of your thoughts of this beautiful watch. Would love to see that.
Nice video! I am considering this watch now and this helps a lot, thanks 🙏
This or sharpe edge in white?
I personally feel like the sharp edge collection looks cheap, but that’s a personal preference thing. A potential upside to the sharp edge is that it will be stainless steel versus this which is titanium. Some people feel that titanium feels cheap because of how lightweight it is. Stainless steel has more heft.
@@joshswatches thanks for your reply. Have you had the white sharp edge in your hand in different lighting? Or are you going on pictures of it?
Ameen.
Excellent review.
Those lume markers on the bezel are inserts and can fall out. Ask me how I know.
excellent review bro. I love the negative display one it adds a bit of contrast to the already bright and blingy case design
Missing a cool special edition dial. Otherwise pretty dope collection
Thank you! I’m personally not a huge fan of special edition dials, only because they tend to limit the amount of wear the watch gets. I’m boring and prefer things that are minimalist and classic. I’ve thought a million times about buying a GS Snowflake, for example, but it wouldn’t get much wear.
@@joshswatches meh snowflake ain’t my cup of tea anyway. It’s in the wrong case. Now put it in a 62GS then I’m interested. I agree though if you aren’t comfortable wearing a watch for fear of scratches and wear then best no get it.
How the fuc# do you get a sub from an AD with no history of buying ?
I’ve bought a few other things from the Ben Bridge that sold me my Sub (Tudor, Grand Seiko, and such), but a GOOD AD won’t actually require that you have a history to buy. More, it’s at their discretion of whether you are someone that they want to have a piece or not. I imagine part of me getting a sub upon asking was that they know I would wear it daily (based on the condition of my other watches that they service) and that I definitely was not in the market to resell. Another wonderful AD that I’ve since bought from with no history said that they don’t just want collectors to have them, they want ordinary people to have them and will sometimes decline a collector so someone who doesn’t have one yet can get their first.
Absolutely STUNING looking watch . Looks like a watch worth 10x the price
Totally agreed!!!
I stumbled across this watch in the Grand Seiko store in Tokyo while I was looking for a white snowflake, and fell in love. Went ahead and bought it in the Grand Seiko boutique in Osaka after sleeping over it. My first ever watch, and I couldn't be happier. The snowflake is a beauty, but this is just more wearable daily, it doesn't stand out as much.
I completely agree! There are things I don’t care for about the snowflake (pin and collar bracelet), so I think you got a better watch. I’ve just bought another GS from the Beverly Hills store and definitely want to buy from a Japan store at some point in the future!
Not a gold type guy...❤
How is the gold holding up against scratches?
Doing great so far!
Got mine for 3240 CHF including duty and transport from Japan. Brand new. It’s a stunning watch.
Great review. The new version is definitely a step down. The Travelpro Platinum Elite underseat duffel is an alternative I highly recommend except that it won’t fit most laptops. :(. The Travelpro Versapack deluxe tote will handle laptops but is a smaller and excellent alternative. Good luck hunting for used bags on eBay!
I love the Strapcode Endmill bracelets. I have several of them! ❤
I love the g-shock and the sub! Great collection!
I‘ve had Subs, Sea-Dwellers and the like but I really regret selling my beloved P42 😢
I agree, buy your watches at an authorized retailer. Make sure you don't pay retail prices tough.
You need to check out Clockwork Republic strap and end link combo for the Samurai. They are fantastic!
There are one or two versions of the samurai that are just distinct and amazing
I have this set up but with the black dial. I absolutely love it!
Darn, I found this video too late! Thanks for the review though, will keep my eyes out for a used old version!
Just bought mine! Is it normal for the rotor to make a subtle sound when it spins?
I’ve had it for two years. It’s already paid for itself.
I Just Bought The Navy Chocolate trim Hadley pro small. This colour is amazing so is the chocolate interior! My third Billingham !!!!!
And it's scratches already 😞
I can't find the travel essentials video you reference in the video
to me seiko loses with matte black dial and lacquered finish(weak)
Great vid, searched for this as disappointed in the newer version. are the older ones still available anywhere?
I prefer the Supreme Nato > Chevron. Equally comfortable, but a LOT easier to size. I understand wanting the cleaner look of the Chevron depending on the watch, but for a diver - Nato looks great :)
I don’t understand when people spend more than $200 on a G-Shock. It defeats the purpose. Why would anyone spend $700 on a Casio G-Shock? If you have that budget buy a Hamilton.
They probably like the $500 gshock more than the $500 hamilton. Very different watches.
It’s all relative, IMO. Anyone who can afford $500 for a G-Shock should have the disposable income to spend frivolously and so they’re looking for the best of the best G-Shock and $500 for that is nothing in relation to $5K for a Tudor or 10K for a Submarine.
I know this is old but I finally Just saw this video. Spot on about sunburst dials & Tudor black bays. I’ve been lusting after this watch for years…! Hopefully you still own it.
