To all who thinks Seiko is doing a bad job doing these special limited releases and saying the prices has gone up, well wake up, everything has gone up nowadays. I'm not happy about the pricing but i just know that i won't be buying because it's not in my price range but don't bash a watch because you can't afford it.
@@RandomRobReviews What's written on the dial, mate? He's sayin' that Seiko does this all the time and people just sick of it. For obvious reasons... You see, this collabration that collabration or not, it's a Seiko and limited edition. And this is a stale marketing strategy that seiko shouldn't do. In my opinion...
Was able to snatch the other TicTac version (with faux vintage lume) when it released. Unfortunately thought it looked way too flat and boring. Wish i had gotten this one instead. The applied indiced make all the difference. Shame about the movement though.
It's beautiful, for sure, and if I was a superficial type I'd buy it in a heartbeat, but it's Hardex and 4r65. It's for sale on some Japanese sites now for €650. That's too much, right? Would a Hamilton Field Khaki be a better buy at around $450?
Dude a 4r35! Loving everything about it till I heard that. Come on seiko give us movements that are worth of the pricetag. This should have a 6r35 minimum and honestly this is rediculous for 500 you should get something equivalent to a miyota 9015.
Venus Dee You are mistaken. This is a JDM model, and Seiko in Japan always place the buckle / clasp on the part of the strap coming from the 6 versus the 12.
I love this model, but my guess is it's way overpriced. In my opinion, there are too many great microbrands for Seiko to start jacking the prices. They have way more competition today than when they did then.
Actually, this is the reason to jack the price. They already have a loyal base. Competition would be pointless. Just rebrand themselves as a more expensive brand and run off name sake. This would garner more profit. They'd have relatively the same sales regardless and make more money.
Wow so this is what happens when I buy a new watch online. Everybody gets to mess with it hands on before it makes it's way, poor guy probably paid for a new with tags label -.- love when you buy a new watch and theres greasy fingerprints and slight scratches from being measured and thrown aroung
I agree! $650 is too much money for a crappy 4R35 low beat inaccurate movement in a very plain looking watch on a rubbish factory strap. There are many much better Swiss watches out there for the same money. I think Seiko has lost the plot and are charging too much for their watches. The best value Japanese brand out there is Orient. You get a lot for your money. I paid $200 for a Kamasu which is amazing value for a 200m divers watch with a screw down crown and sapphire crystal. Its F6922 Orient movement is much more accurate than all the 4R and 6R series Seiko movements. I've owned quite a few modern Seikos so I know from experience. They are are complete rip off these days.
Seiko together with other Brands are so stupid its shocking. Making Limited Editions of watches that should be in the normal collection. Same like Zodiac with their Aerospace. Why should I be interested? Why somebody even make videos of it and get paid... the watches are fast gone like stuff from supreme. So a video about it, is outdated the time it is posted. Stupid.
Wow! One of the nicest looking Seikos I've seen in a long while.
That is a super looking cool new Seiko. Thank you Steve and Roger for sharing this one with us 😊👍
Really nice watch with an awesome dial. Thanks for showing it!
This thing in 36-38 would pretty much be my perfect watch.
Especially the gray one.
yup, after the 2 SARB's this would be the next
This beats the new Alpinist IMO
Would love one in my collection👌
The new alpinists in the leaked magazine look like this
link?
That's a fantastic looking watch!
That second hand is on point😎

I'd love to get this one! Beautiful watch!
Seiko are driving me nuts with their limited editions
This is more of a tictac limited, brands can get seiko to do limited runs. Seiko didn’t do this, tictac did

Really good dial color. I wish Seiko could get their watches thinner though.
oh gosh....just saw the thumbnail and i already love the design
Looks much better then the photos ..... Nice review
Very clean and good looking Seiko.
That’s really a clean slick looking piece.
Is there any diff this and szsb007 you've reviewed back in october?
Wow, very nice! Hope these are hard to find, don’t need to be spending now.
You are safe, kinda hard to track down.
This is very interesting model! I`ve never seen it before.... Thank you for the review!
Where did you buy this model? Any trusting seller?
That's a great looking watch. Plane Jane enough that I could see a NATO strap on it, and it being an extra nice Field Watch. I dig it.
Beautiful watch :)
Nice one, was curious about this LE. Thanks Rob!
Lovely
Very nice looking seiko
Good to know about JTM!
Just picked up the 006...waiting patiently for USPS to deliver...👍🏽
Jesse Martinez I have been waiting for some time for mine. Did yours arrive?
good looking watch but a massive cash grab... it is easy to love and hate seiko at the same time
beautiful color

Beautiful watch, but is anyone else wondering why the strap is backwards??
That's how the JDM (Japanese Domestic Market) come - my JDM Seikos and Orient have the straps oriented this way too.
Limited Edition of how many pieces?
Nice one!
The candy?? Wow I love these! Just found out about them.
I tried watching the whole video, but I made it about half way before I pressed the "checkout" button on the website that sells it. Oops!
Flipping limited editions is why the blue alpinist went from 700 retail to around $2000

The Seiko looks great but the Hamilton is better value. You should see how much they are selling for now!
Great content.
This would look killer with a low domed acrylic sternkreuz crystal! Thank God it doesn't have a prospex logo, shame it's ltd edition.
It's a lovely watch, but for the price, why would you not buy a Hamilton, unless only for the JDM bragging rights?
Dude a 4r35! Loving everything about it till I heard that. Come on seiko give us movements that are worth of the pricetag. This should have a 6r35 minimum and honestly this is rediculous for 500 you should get something equivalent to a miyota 9015.
Hi Rob, awesome vid. Would you pick the 021 or the 007 if you had to choose one? Many thanks.
Feel like the watch is missing the number 9
Unless I am mistaken, the strap is on backwards.
Venus Dee You are mistaken. This is a JDM model, and Seiko in Japan always place the buckle / clasp on the part of the strap coming from the 6 versus the 12.
Made in Japan is enough to buy this timepiece
Lume on hands only is not so useful. But the dial is nice.
top.
4r36?
4R35. Date no day.

Can u offer a comparison of it with a Bulova
that 6 has made my eyes bleed.
I have one of these on the bracelet if anyone's interested, lovely watch, too small for me.
Evan Ahern how much?
Handsom design. Too bad the polished hands look black most of the time.

You seem like the type who washes his hands 30 times before breakfast.
A good seller would disclose it was a review model. I’m sure the buyer got a discount.
@@WatchRob he said it was already sold to someone.
Tic Tac? Surely not as in the breath mint, right?
Was interested until I see that it's limited. Head shakes.
Its quite expensive
Didn’t know TicToc had watches too.
It has character. Too much for me.
Wish that they’d done a different hand set.
Waste of money...way over priced
Explain....
