NWA: Seiko Marinemaster SJE101

A watch that seems to have many people shaking their heads. Naturally I had to have it.

All I can say is my SPB143 puts me to sleep and this one doesn't.

I knew before I even bought it that a Retro Razor was going on it.

The tears of 62MAS purists fuels my joy๐Ÿ˜ˆ

I have a SPB143 and love it. But I will admit this new Marinemaster has captured my interest.

Retro Razor from strapcode

It does have the 6L movement right? How does it compare to the 6R? I mean things like the feel when winding, setting the time, using the crown. I know that it is definitely better accuracy-wise.

Crown action feels more "Swiss". That might be a very naive over generalization, it's just the best way I can describe it at the moment. You know when a Swiss watch does it right, the crown feels like you're actually moving something solid? That's what it feels like. However I've never had any complaints with the 6R crown action.

Problem is that it looks nothing like a Marine Master or am I missing something??

Yeah, what else can you compare between movements? Accuracy-wise, it's clear which one is better. But does it also feel much better? I guess that was my question. Thank you for taking the time to answer.

@degenerateWA I watched your review on Youtube...well done. After a few months, what are your thoughts on the watch now?

Love the design and size and am strongly considering it for a future purchase to compliment my SLA055.
