@@GuideauxPelagos makes sense. Seiko does that with a lot of their thermocompesated credors. I have a thermocompensated dolce with a tiny crown. I guess it emphasizes how little you will be using the crown due to the superb accuracy of the watch. Well, it's a theory.

Congrats, fantastic watch! "Divers 200m" is a designation used by Seiko to indicate that the watch conforms with ISO-6425, (IE. professional divers' watch). If it didn't conform to this standard it would read "200m Water Resist".

What a stunning watch! Great review Guideaux. The 9F series quartz movements are definitely under appreciated by the horological community. I think this is due to the stigma attached to quartz generally and the ignorance of what actually goes into to making these 9F series movements. Like you pointed out these are complete 'in house' movements even down to the quartz crystals of which the best are cherry picked for these movements. Personally I find the sbgx115 aesthetically so appealing with the contrast of silver/white dial and black bezel and the perfect symmetry of the dial (which is why I prefer it having no date). It is also original and bold with the tapering bezel font radiating from the centre of the dial. This and your Pelagos are like Yin and Yang being Swiss and Japanese, black and white, mechanical and quartz. They compliment each other perfectly. Looking forward to seeing more of this piece in your future videos.

Thanks for your summary. Exactly how you said... together with the Pelagos they are kind of yin and yang. The best of both world for the enthusiast... not the big public..more or less like my youtube channel. ;-) I fell in love with the watch as soon as I saw it the first time...it took me 2 years to encounter it second hand for a reasonable price and with the possibility of a swap. I love the way it just hits the hour markers without a wiggle and a 50 year without service is just amazing. The black on white for me was also the most beautiful part of the watch... it is a watch that is unique and probably will be for as long as I will wear it. I would wear it to a Rolex party any day of the week...but I have always tend to be a swimmer against the current. I might try and get another dress watch in the future...but for now I am as happy as a little kid. I call it the ultimate 180 degrees watch. Cheers Jay! ;-)

Pure as the driven snow Guideaux. As I understand it the 'Divers' nomenclature refers to the fact that not only does the watch meet the ISO standard but each individual watch is pressure tested, rather than samples or batches normally used to achieve a WR rating.

Great review! Interested to know what drove you to chose the SBGX115 over the '17? I'm looking at both, and wonder if I might get tired of the white/silver face after a year or two - when the novelty wears off. Thinking of how the Submariner has had the same face (basically) for 60 years and watch people (OK - everybody) still love it.
@GuideauxPelagos
7 жыл бұрын
They are both great and for a dive watch they really are value for money. I guess for both there is a selling point. My choice for the white dial is that I simply find it a far more rare and attractive watch..one doesn't see much of the white dial/black bezel on high end watches (let alone GS). It is pure personal taste, like it is pure personal to get one of these over a Submariner. Novelties always wear off, that's why one needs to think long and hard for buying any luxury watch. This white GS was love at first sight for me as the black dial just imo looks like another dive watch amongst many others. I have heard of people getting a bit bored with the Pelagos shown in this video as well... I have got that watch and only am loving it more everyday. Whatever the choice and whatever anyone might say...the white is a rare beast and will be sellible when necessary... because they are pretty hard to get. Tho I am not sure if it is a certain winner for resale. But in all honesty...resale never should be a factor when buying a watch..if one cannot afford to wear what one wants and opts for a resale watch...maybe one never should have bought it in the first place. Good luck and let me know which one in the end you went with. Cheers.
@das997
7 жыл бұрын
Thanks Guideaux! I must admit, my first gut reaction to the white dial was "I need that". The black is, as you say, like every other dive watch. Based on my search (apparently your search too), there aren't many out there - so if you ever did get bored, there might be more of a market for it than you would think.

The Zenith is great, but just didn't get too much wrist time and the 5 to 6 year service costs where not things I was looking forward to. Still maybe one day I will get another 410.

From what I read when seiko produced the first quartz in 1969 it made the automatic and wind up obsolete then the luxury watch companies promoted the idea that you directly power the watch with the movement of your arm so it has soul but the quartz watch does not and people bought that idea. I guess the grand seiko spring drive has half a soul. A watch winder can keep a auto watch going and it has no soul.
@GuideauxPelagos

Keith Greenan Yeah, people are made to believe a lot without realizing it thru subliminal marketing or worse...fellow enthusiasts and collectors. Hence people buy a Rolex and without realizing it they call it their "First" Rolex... eventho they might not even get another one ever...I never heard anyone say my first Omega when they just bought an Omega. I do understand the romance of an automatic movement in this digital age... but HEQ or Springdrive are stunning pieces of engineering. It has a lot to do with the time we live in...if one could have shown a quartz watch to someone a 100 years ago it would have been the most desirable thing ever... also if the quartz watch wasn't invented I wonder if the big watch industry itself as a whole would have survived this digital age of phones and smart watches... tho I will always keep an auto... but am very happy to get a quartz nowadays...especially with all the dirty servicing tricks and parts restrictions many of the Swiss brands have tried to rip off their customers...
