me too❤❤

🥵

I have been wearing mine since I was 30. Never too young

Serica 5303 is a killer piece! Was so excited to see it as I just got mine! Nerd validation!

Lex is a hoot, and Nacho is so sincere!

Nacho, thinking about getting the same strap for my IWC Spitfire - question - did you get the standard or short length and what's your wrist size, if you don't mind me asking. Thanks, keep up the good work!

Just picked up my 50th anniversary Snoopy from Bond Street store. Long time…I waited 5 years to get to the top of the list. £10,000. Worth every penny.

Great discussion. I must comment on the use of the term 'timeless watch'. To me, a timeless watch is one that instantly connects and generates a positive emotional reaction. By this rationale, the camouflage and Red Arrows Breitling pieces did just this (as did the AP to some extent). They appealed to my inner boy, and I'm 47! Taking me back to my childhood; how 'timeless' is that?! Or am I not being snobby enough?!

Never heard of Holthinrichs. Will have to look them up. Thank you for the episode

Love the new white Hamilton without the fauxtina.

Why go for that overpriced and oversized AP re-issue when you can go for the deliciously brutalist Toledano & Chan B/1? That even comes in a brutalist concrete box! It is inspired by the Breuer building in Manhattan.

Learn something new everyday, love the Boldin fuckle 😂

Doxa 200T FTW ✅

Nice review and conversation as always. The 46mm Super Breitling sounds ridiculous. But the lugs appear (in pics) to be very short - so it may not only be for large people. Which brings up a potential video topic: Specs, which really matter, which brands do a great job giving the specs on their website (not many - mostly smaller brands), and are ‘Spec Snobs’ something we’d like to rid our hobby of?

Fratello has become my favorite. Keep up the great work, team!

"Bold-in Fuckle" 😂

Love the chaotic energy Lex always brings to these.

Insomnia has its perks, I guess Great to catch an episode so early!

Sexy Lexi was really on fire in this one! Great episode.

1665.

where can i get this?

Beautiful!😮

The moonshine gold(yellow) is a really nice watch in person.

Remember Seiko LX…

Brought my first Seiko a couple of months back, Alpinist SPB117J1... really great watch. Wears better on my wrist than a 40mm Explorer 2 which I decided against buying in the end. Less than 10% of the price of the Explorer 2. Sometimes in life it's not all about money.

My wife bought me the quartz version and it is my favorite even if I own other automatic watch.

Are you recording in the middle of the night? I saw the date was about to switch on nachos watch was it?

I don't like either of them.

#SeikoSucks

Love the Seiko Presages. Specially the Cocktail Times, which can be obtained "dirt cheap" as worn... just bought Honeycomb for 400€ and is in perfect condition.

The main thing I learnt from collecting watches is that I'm just not a luxury watch person... Tudor, Rolex, Omega are all mostly too bling for me. Seiko Alpinist has been one of my best buys... also Casio Oceanus.... neither of which were expensive yet wear better on the wrist and are more functional. No nonsense at the AD's either! Now servicing and selling my 16710 GMT brought a couple of years ago... will take a loss, lesson learned!

How to build a watch collection? You buy one watch and then you buy another one.... works like that I think.

Seiko is a watch for the average man on an average income at the lower price point. A great manufacturer of watches for all tastes and can even produce high quality watches for those on higher incomes. I love them, even though some of their movements aren’t that accurate, but I guess if you are in to the accuracy thing, buy a quartz watch and Seiko do plenty of those.

Everyone? Count me out

Not everyone. They’re overpriced now. Especially since their stated accuracy is awful compared to similarly priced watches. Their lume is awesome though.

I dont. In my life, I have never clicked on a Seiko article from any online site. Dont get it. Toyota carola of watches.

I got the one in blue and it is stunning.

Leaving aside that I was watching this while wearing my SBGN013 Grand Seiko GMT, I have to say, gentlemen, that you've outdone yourselves. Bravo! The banter with the cameraman, the generally relaxed language, the off kilter jokes, and even some colourful language: This is how it's done. I think it's the best Fratello Talks so far. Maybe it is because Seiko is so devoid of pretense that people feel they can speak about it in a relaxed way. I woudn't say I like Seiko, or that I'm a fan, I'd actually go so far as to say I love Seiko, including Credor and GS. Back in 2007, when I threw my highly unreliable Omega Speedmaster Reduced in the bin, I went to a small dealership, picked up a titanium Seiko quartz chronograph, and after 14 years of abuse it's still happily ticking away in a corner of my watch collection. My recent 5 purchases have all been Grand Seiko's and one SPB317. It seems cyclical: I started there, I feel I might end up there. It helps that I have a deep respect and fascination for Japanese culture and history, and for the joy that I have derived from Seiko's products over the years. I own 20 watches, in a variety of segments, half of which are (Grand/King/SJE) Seiko's, and half are Cartier, Nomos and others, but nowadays I am very hard pressed to strap anything on my wrist that is not a Seiko, somehow. Regarding the movements in the more expensive King Seiko's: The 6L based movements are thin, they are generally well regulated off the factory line, and they are solid performers over time. The fact that Seiko under delivers but over performs is clear to me here. I have two watches with that movement, and they are fantastic. The 6L is, in my book, on par with the higher grade ETA 2892-A2 series of movements, which itself is a sadly under-used movement in today's market.

Got my GS SBGW287 Boshu on today! You guys should give that a look if you haven't seen it before. It has that gorgeous burgundy/wine red dial, manual wind, 37.3mm case size, red strap. I also have my Dad's 1983 Arnie from when he was a Captain in the United States Air Force; he bought it BEFORE it became the Arnie!

Seiko are overpriced now

8:57 Talk about peddling straight up misinformation about the C07 movements from the forum telephone game that counts for “discussion”. Honestly, is baffling that me, a lay person in watch community speak can look at pictures and find videos and figure out quickly that they, in fact, can be regulated. They are free sprung, and have weights on them. You are a watch outlet. You were supposed to know more than a schmuck like me. This is frustrating

I’m learning a lot from you all. Thank you.

Love my Seiko sport 5 line, Seiko Arnie and looking forward to get the seiko Turtle "Capt Willard"...

I put the prospex king turtle with ceramic bezel and sapphire crystal up against many higher tier divers. Both looks, durability and history. You can’t beat that watch right now

I don’t like Seiko so I guess I can split this one…😂😂

I don't like Seiko and there pretend Sapphire hardlex crystal. So much better value from other brands.

Have to take my hat off for you guys. Amazing effort to make some relatable content for the avarege Joe's. Seiko is usually super underated among super high end/snob watch collectors. Felt like you were of your confort zone but manage to make a good show in the end. 🎉

Any subject - Nacho - BUT HUM...BUT HUM...YEAH

Used to be a fan. Currently own two. Sadly, during the past several years Seiko have made great effort to destroy their brand. They even managed to make the worst movement in the world among all serious brands (6R35).

Seiko is a great brand to start with and to return to. My first ‘nice watch’ was a titanium kinetic SKH681. I was fascinated that it was powered by movement and not a removable battery & I loved the lightweight material. I purchased it with money from my high school graduation, and I still wear it (within my rotation) 22 years later.
