the price of this watch is high compared to the skx models. the 6R15 movement IS the 7S26 movement with hacking and a manual winding added. That is it! Everyone incorrectly thinks it is a different higher grade movement. Only two features added. price is three to four times more.
I'm personally proud to see my company product in here.. Caliber 6R15 movement was made by my company.. Seiko Instruments Technology (Johor, Malaysia) Pvt Ltd, the Subsidiary company of Seiko Instruments Singapore (SIS). SIS is a company under Seiko Instruments Inc, Japan, which is now already merged with the Seiko Holding Japan. Thank you for supporting Seiko brand watch:)
This is a great watch-as accurate as you could ever get for an automatic below $500, great lume and solid as a rock. Only problem is the size. It's just too big and didn't work for me. So I sold it. I wish Seiko would put a 6R15 into a 40 or 42mm divers case, without any bling.
Nice watch. I have several 7s26 Seikos. What's the name of this song? Funny you should use this song because this was the same song that IWC used in a video showing the highlights of a recent IWC get-together.
There's a reason why (btw not only the two clips you mentioned) you had a déjà-hear: The clip's are from the same source and thus use the same sound loop... ;-)
YUMMY, WISH I HAD A MORE SUBSTANTIAL GIRTH AND GOT THE ORANGE ONE ON EBAY THAT WENT FOR £150 IN JAN. probly get the sarb033 or 35, as it can be had for £155 ISH.
I've been contemplating picking one of these up for a while. I've just been so soured on Japanese made movements (21,600 bph) because of their utter lack of accuracy. Still, this is the cleanest sweeping 21,600 bph I've ever seen. I've heard great things about the 6r15 and 6r20 movements accuracy, so maybe I'll give 'em a try after all. I love your video quality, really wish I could see every watch I'm interested in the way you present them. Anyway, thanks for this, really needed it!
My 6R15 only gains 4 seconds a day. It did since it came out of the box and still does after many months of hard abuse on my wrist. Its been very accurate for me. I actually did a poll on it on a watch site and most had similar results.
I own a slightly cheaper model, the 5Y66 with serial number 6N0675, only water resistant to 165 feet and although it's the quartz movement, the loss/gain seems to be only 4-5 seconds every 3 months... Is this possible? Am I not measuring the time correctly?
That's nothing unusual for a quartz movement. Quartz is extremely accurate, and if that is what is most important to the buyer, it's the right choice.
And what do you think about the blue dial "samourai" titanium diver watch i buy in seiko center in paris for only 350 euros !!

How do you get lume to be so bright? I just got my MM300 today and is not as bright as yours. Did you charged it with a light source? thanks
