I never had my eye on a Seiko Turtle until it showed up in a catalog for one of those work anniversary gifts. I got one of the blue Save the Ocean ones. And I love it. Made me a total fan of the Turtle. Wears like a dream and looks fantastic.
I was so delighted to see that your website has grown. congratulations teddy. Hope in the future you are able to secure more brands. Peace and blessings and much success.Not just to your CZcams channel. But With your business endeavors also.
Teddy you are a great presenter and great quality of production too. Thanks for highlighting the excellencies of Seiko - an undiscovered brand for many !
Great video on Seikos. Thanks. I have way too many seikos. Mostly divers. Started with a skx. Moved on to turtles, samurai, monsters, willards. Tremendous value in seiko divers , even conpaired to micro brands. You get a ok work horse movement, with a superior case. Most of mine are jdm models. Seem to have good quality control. Took the plunge into the SLA line of divers. The ever brilliant steel models are special. Last watch i bought was the GS sbgx033 from Japan. Older vintage has my love right now.
Out of my collection my two Seiko’s are my black 4rth gen monster and my older blue Seiko 5 SNK 807. I like Seiko when they do things a little out of the ordinary. I would add a steel “Arnie” to those as a quartz option and to keep things unique.
Would you be interested in doing a decade by decade history of watches? I really like the look of modern heritage-inspired watches but I think I miss so many of the references.
Teddy, I have a lot of appreciation for you. I know your target market is the lower - mid range. However, you present these watches without ego. As well as the understanding that any watch at any price can be a person's main piece. Thank you.
4:23 The Seiko Prospex GMT is a absolute sleeper pick! Solar quartz is arguably the best movement for a GMT watch, and the sumo case wears surprisingly well even on small/medium wrist. I own the JDM pure black version with a red GMT hand (SBPK003) and sits perfectly on my 6.5 inch wrist thanks to its manageable lug-to-lug of 51.8mm. The 20mm lug width also makes it a strap monster. I highly recommend it for anyone looking for a GADA "set it and forget it" watch! I got mine second-hand for 375 USD which is an absolute steal for a true GMT watch with sapphire glass and ISO rating.
I’m kind of surprised with the lack of Sharp Edge collection considering how popular this watch was 1-2 years ago. It was a watch I was thinking about buying the most for quite some time. Nevertheless I have pretty much no problem with your choices Teddy. Nice video, looking forward to other brands
Not a Seiko fan but definitely the best video I've ever seen representing some of their line. Always enjoy the informative nature of these videos. Changing minds one watch at a time.
@@mikojYT interesting reply to what I said, there's nothing wrong with the Phillies I just happen to like the Giants better. When did I say something was wrong with Seiko. Fanboy much. 🤯
I love my addiesdive 300m Marinemaster Hommage, Monobloc, Saphire Cristal and ceramic bezel, used for 80 bucks. 50% Seiko because of the NH35 movement....Unbeatable and perfectly regulated +4 Seconds...
I love Seiko and the variation of watches it has for a one brand collection. However, I think they are becoming overpriced and a bit boring. They bring out a "New" watch, and they call it special edition to charge more, yet they can't even throw in a Sapphire crystal most of the time. They are a bit boring for me because their most affordable line, the Seiko 5, has been riding the wave with its predecessor, the Skx. Early Seiko 5s had a watch design for everyone, field, pilot, dress, diver, and casual with different variations on the dials and hands.
Thank you, Teddy! I’ve owned 5 watches so far and they’ve all been Seiko. A few notable mentions have been the enamel dial, SPB143, and my newest acquisition 62MAS recreation SJE093 which I’m so excited for. Your channel has been such an influence in my enthusiasm for watches.
I just got into watch collecting. I've loved watches since I was young but I never had anyone teach me or bring deeper into the world. amzwatch brought closer to a community and hobby I always wanted to get into more and that is incredibly meaningful to me !
Have 4 seiko’s now. All prospex models. Two automatic baby tuna’s, a fieldmaster and a Willard. Will be getting the emperor tuna automatic later this year. Had the Arnie but dumped it because setting it is annoying.
Add one more kinda of Seiko collector…”The Limited/Special Edition Collector”. I know I personally have started to buy the limited or special editions of the popular models…king samurai, save the oceans, peanuts, etc…
My current three Seikos in the watch box: Aston SS005J1, Alpinist SBDC087 (SPB117), Diver SBDC101 (SPB143) - - Seiko recently announced the SPB453 (black dial) to be released June 2024, Now, I plan to replace the SBDC101/SPB143 with SPB453 as it has better dial symmetry with a full-size lumed marker at 3:00 and moves the date with black background to 4:30 position.
@@luqmans7 not yet, but I still plan to purchase the SPB453, just now in August/September after a relocation is final - I also intend to sell the SPB143 - I like the grey sunburst dial color of the SPB143, but I prefer the 4:30 date location with black date wheel of the SPB453; also the black dial of the SPB453 is more versatile for me - It’s really just a dial aesthetic and symmetry preference for me.
I’ve got my first seiko and first automatic watch to add to my collection the Seiko watch I got is the Seiko SRPK33K it’s beautiful watch my collection mainly contains quartz watches, or solar watches. It’s great to have an automatic in the mix and I’ve definitely got the Seiko bug I’m getting some more Seiko watches throughout this year. My next seiko watch I’m getting is the Seiko Prospex Speedtimer SSC813P Panda dial I absolutely love my watches. I love Seiko watches. I’m going to add plenty of them to my collection
Seiko is cool, but damn their watches are so expensive for what you get. There are many Chinese watches providing better quality, sapphire crystal and their seiko movements better than themselves. If you doubt about Chinese watches, Timex well renowned brand has a diver with seiko nh35 for 220 CAD
Oh yeah homie. I love my Seiko Presage Blue Moon. The Camera does not do it justice. It’s way better looking in person. I got a Super Cub too. Two is enough. I gotta stop. 😂
No mention of the SARX055 Baby Snowflake? It is one of the most gorgeous watches Seiko makes, but I don't think I've ever seen it on any of your seiko lists.
Aye, the "Baby" Alpinist hasn't been as popular and they discontinued the less popular colour variants, making them in retrospect limited editions. I can understand that with the SPB212, which was odd (an odd variant of a more sober take on an odd watch), but the rest: Grey 159 for the minimalist, brown sunburst 211 for the old-timey excentric and the blue 157, which in my opinion, looks even better than the 155. Which is why I bought it. I was lucky to capture one of the last pieces in the country at an AD. Let's see how I can live with its thickness.
Hello Teddy, even though this channel addresses mostly men’s watches, I like watching your videos. Would you consider making a video discussing 38mm diameter watches?
I have the SPB381 and yes, it wears smaller than the specs. A very comfortable presence on the wrist. In fact, personal opinion is that the only Seiko brother that beats this is the SPB297.
Having seen so many analog watches, from cheap to high-end, and having owned around 100 watches, one looks like the other to me now. I seem to have lost that retro vibe that goes hand-in-hand with analog timepieces. Therefore I just bought a Suunto Core black/red and I'm happy as I haven't been in a long long time 🧡 Nonetheless I love your channel and will anways watch! Cheers!
As a Seiko lover, I appreciate your take on collecting and these categories. Traveling home to Ohio next summer and hoping to bump into you for a wrist check 😊.
I own a breitling Super ocean Heritaga.....but love seikos massive selection of beautiful watched they're amazing...great video Teddy
Před 5 měsíci
First, sorry to see you couldn't fit a Monster in any of the collections so here comes my collection. Diver: SKX779 "Black Monster Gen 1" If I can't have a Monster I will not do it at all... Field/EDC: SSK023 I love the look of this "Poor mans explorer" Chrono/Dress: SRQ037 Great looking chrono!
I’ve watched many of your videos. Recently I discovered a brand that has a tenth. The Chinese brand was founded in 1988. TIANWANG brand of Hong Kong listed company. I ordered a dive watch. 200 meters waterproof automatic mechanical watch. Product quality is very good. the most important is. They provide two years of after-sales service. If there is any problem, just replace it with a new one. Makes me very at ease. I'd love for you to do a video on it. I think it's really worth it
I think the Presage Sharp Edge models don't get the love they deserve. I'm particularly drawn to the SPB309J1, the open-heart hemp leaf pattern. 6r38, gorgeous dial and hands with subtle blue accents, 100m water resistance and good lume. Incredible value, versatility and design.
I would love to see an “end of the world” perfect watch. It would have to answer the following qualities: - very limited service, if none!! - no batteries as you could not found extra ones (but solar is allowed) - resistant to shocks - water resistant minimum 200m - good visibility by night - no extra strap allowed ☠️
My actual one is as follows: - SKX007 black dial - Prospex Alpinist "shark tooth" black dial - Presage Style 60s GMT champagne dial (Then some Casios and a solar chrono Citizen to round it up)
I just got into watches. I'm a little irritated that I missed out in the era of OG Seiko 5. I'm still buying NOS Seiko 5 watches until I no longer can. That being said, I have the SRPE53 "dressKX" and it's my most worn watch. Teddy must have been reading my mind cuz I've been thinking about just doing a Seiko only collection based on quality and affordability.
Looking forward to the new Seiko's coming out this summer. SPB451, 453,455. 300M WR and with the 6R35 caliber! The dimensions will be great for people like me with a smaller wrist. I'll definitely will be picking one up.
Hello and thanks for this video Teddy. Seiko stills a serious brand with famous design and really good movements. But to have a collection of various watches but from just one brand, what's the point?
You need two watchboxes, one for Seiko, one for everthing else.
Gold. Absolute gold.
Yup. This is my reality.
Definitely
For me, the same applies to Casio!
Seiko rules
Love it! Pls do one on longines and omega!!!
Would love to see one on Omega.
Seconded on Longines
I would also love to see both of those!
These are really fun! Second this for omega!
Please do Citizen version too Teddy, I think sometimes they are too underappreciated
I juts feel the same.
True. They have replaced Seiko in being the best value for money (mainly because of the price hike. Otherwise Seikos are still great)
Nah Seiko still beats them out every time. Citizen is just something they sell at JC Penny and Macys
Another great video Teddy. We love your passion for Seiko!
I never had my eye on a Seiko Turtle until it showed up in a catalog for one of those work anniversary gifts. I got one of the blue Save the Ocean ones. And I love it. Made me a total fan of the Turtle. Wears like a dream and looks fantastic.
Love the format, and how you deliver. Looking forward to many of you future videos
I loved your description of the Alpinist. Well put.
I'm a Seikopath, and this is an excellent video. Thank you for your work Teddy.
😀😆🤣amazing word !
Superb! Teddy, could you do a similar video focusing on Longines? Thank you.
I was so delighted to see that your website has grown. congratulations teddy. Hope in the future you are able to secure more brands. Peace and blessings and much success.Not just to your CZcams channel. But With your business endeavors also.
I wanted this video for a long long time and here we are. Thanks Teddy for sharing your thoughts.
Teddy you are a great presenter and great quality of production too. Thanks for highlighting the excellencies of Seiko - an undiscovered brand for many !
Great video on Seikos. Thanks.
I have way too many seikos. Mostly divers. Started with a skx. Moved on to turtles, samurai, monsters, willards. Tremendous value in seiko divers , even conpaired to micro brands. You get a ok work horse movement, with a superior case. Most of mine are jdm models. Seem to have good quality control. Took the plunge into the SLA line of divers. The ever brilliant steel models are special. Last watch i bought was the GS sbgx033 from Japan. Older vintage has my love right now.

LOVE this concept. I’d like to see the same for Citizen and Timex.
Thanks for your insight.
Teddy, I have a lot of appreciation for you. I know your target market is the lower - mid range. However, you present these watches without ego. As well as the understanding that any watch at any price can be a person's main piece. Thank you.
I think the range he presents is 'High Quality/High Value for Money' Range 🙂
My speedtimer shares wrist time with my lunar pilot, very nice pair.
Would love to see this with other brands! Oris especially
4:23 The Seiko Prospex GMT is a absolute sleeper pick! Solar quartz is arguably the best movement for a GMT watch, and the sumo case wears surprisingly well even on small/medium wrist.

Just purchased a Dress KX from you a few weeks ago, absolutely love it!
Great video. Love Seiko.
Classic Teddy content, these collector videos are the best. Looking forward to a one brand focus on many other brands. ⌚️Longines perhaps.
Not a Seiko fan but definitely the best video I've ever seen representing some of their line.
Always enjoy the informative nature of these videos. Changing minds one watch at a time.
Wtf is wrong with Seiko?
@@mikojYT interesting reply to what I said, there's nothing wrong with the Phillies I just happen to like the Giants better.
When did I say something was wrong with Seiko.
Fanboy much. 🤯
I love my addiesdive 300m Marinemaster Hommage, Monobloc, Saphire Cristal and ceramic bezel, used for 80 bucks. 50% Seiko because of the NH35 movement....Unbeatable and perfectly regulated +4 Seconds...
Can we get a Citizen version of this video?
Seiko is trully the people‘s watch company. There’s almost no need to consider the Swiss.
That Alpinist GMT has my attention, and then some.
There is also a JDM version with a 3-6-9 layout that is superb.
The alpine green is something else. Really good looker and a decent auto movement.
I love Seiko and the variation of watches it has for a one brand collection. However, I think they are becoming overpriced and a bit boring.

Rocking my classic SNXS in blue dial today. Also a rare version in the US and Eu, it has Arabic alt weekdays
The shirt fits very well perfect
I currently have a 2 watch collection. The Seiko SARB033 and the SPB143. All I ever need.
I just cannot argue with you. Congat's on your brick and mortar shop!. Teddy B in the place to be!
I don’t know too much about watches but how can they justify the price with the crystal being only a mineral?
I have never been disappointed since I became a customer of NKUWAN . Their timepieces are of exceptional quality.
Add one more kinda of Seiko collector…”The Limited/Special Edition Collector”. I know I personally have started to buy the limited or special editions of the popular models…king samurai, save the oceans, peanuts, etc…
Love your pics😊
The same in Tissot please 🙏🏻😁

I realy love your cinematography❤, makes me wana watch till the end🎉
I loveeeeee that red speedtimer soooo much same with the yellow but that red is just stunning. I heard they were JDM tho
Please do one with Citizen!!

Nice video Teddy, have you ever come across the Seiko Astron GPS - some great designs and cool tech inside.
I am a Tissot lover, advocate and collector so most of my watches are Tissot but ooooooooh, I could get into Seiko too…
Teddy, do a review of the Seiko Astron. Its my go to, light weight Ti, very accurate and solar.
Oh yeah homie. I love my Seiko Presage Blue Moon. The Camera does not do it justice. It’s way better looking in person. I got a Super Cub too. Two is enough. I gotta stop. 😂
No mention of the SARX055 Baby Snowflake? It is one of the most gorgeous watches Seiko makes, but I don't think I've ever seen it on any of your seiko lists.
Had Seiko address their misaligned bezel or hour markers? There’re few of their models I want to get but a bit reluctant because of that issue.
Let's do this with Patek
Someone else mentioned the term SeikoPath and I totally agree. ❤

Best video you literally dropped this at the best time. About to buy the new speedtimer
Hello. May I ask you a question? Do you think there is a difference in quality between Seiko watches reference j and reference k?
I did build a Seiko only collection. King Turtle, 7548 and a bunch of old school Seiko 5s (SNXS, SNKL, SNK).
Hello Teddy, even though this channel

Series idea: X number of watches to show love for your favorite sports team.
I'M ON MY SECOND SEIKO'... THE S 5... DIFFERENT COLOR FACE'... AND I'M GETTING ANOTHER ONE'.....💯✌️
Do Hamilton and Tissot
Just wish we could get the cocktail time in the 42mm range
This is a good video! Indeall NEED an Alpinist, but sadly probabywill never afford one. The others are almost daily wear.
You have some soft spot for Seiko.
I regard seiko as good product, but Teddy you never forgets to mention seiko in every vdo, I think you have soft corner for seiko.
This is me my collection of seikos I have divers 11 so far.
I would love to see an “end of the world” perfect watch.
It would have to answer the following qualities:
- very limited service, if none!!
- no batteries as you could not found extra ones (but solar is allowed)
- resistant to shocks
- water resistant minimum 200m
- good visibility by night
- no extra strap allowed
☠️
is there any 36-38mm cocktail time watches or even homages in this size range?
My actual one is as follows:
- SKX007 black dial
- Prospex Alpinist "shark tooth" black dial
- Presage Style 60s GMT champagne dial
(Then some Casios and a solar chrono Citizen to round it up)
I just got into watches. I'm a little irritated that I missed out in the era of OG Seiko 5. I'm still buying NOS Seiko 5 watches until I no longer can.

Love the vide!! hé can you make a video about maintenance??!!
I want a collection like this but wit Tissot
I wish you the best in your business.
i like your content but disagree with you on most opinions.
your still killing it, great job.
62 mas i love it
Show us the Longines variant of this video!
Tissot, Omega, Longines, Nomos please.
