“Marc gave excellent service & fast ship
Could have been executed better, esp. dial. Color is rich cobalt blue, not a fan of the clear-coat on top. At angles, you can spot the texture of the spray coat
Hand align not great. The hour lags behind. Finish on hands not great. Brushed finish looks out of place, & is not very clean/uniform. Hands aren't completely flat & brush finish makes obvious the distortion caused by punching center holes
Big flaw is the lug holes, milled incorrectly, cause spring bars to click loudly whenever you tension bracelet or strap. Bracelet ok, fairly crude & diver extension is flimsy & awkward
Polish & brush on case not great. Lugs have brushed flat sides, but brush finish makes it easy to see where they failed to get it flat
Accuracy - .5sec drift/day
Bezel alignment is good, but not perfect
Lume is brightest I've seen on any watch
bezel & crown are gunmetal
Crown is extremely grippy & easy to wind & set”
“I was looking to get a Samurai for a while but when I saw this edition become available I couldn't resist. The 3D milling on the dial with the blue gradient is stunning, the black accents on the bezel and crown are nice details, and the chapter ring on my example is properly aligned. The lume is also quite good due to the large hands and markers.
LIW is easy to work with and shipped quickly. Will buy from them again.”
“It almost feels like they inspected the watch before they shipped it. Chapter ring lines up perfectly, bezel clicks like no other Seiko I have owned. It is PERFECT! Fast shipping, great service!”
“From the time I received an email alert that the Save The Ocean Seiko Samurai was out until it was in my hands was 5 business days! Unbelievable customer service. Now on to the watch itself. When I opened the box, the graduated blue dial just left me speechless. It's absolutely gorgeous and when the sun hits it, the color and hues are incredible. It's my first Samurai, but 3rd watch from Long Island. I will continue to shop and buy from you as your combination of customer service and products are unbeatable. Looking forward to my next new watch.”
“This is the second watch that I’ve purchased from Mark, along with a bracelet for a Seiko Turtle. Price was great, ordering was easy and shipping was fast. Love the watch - thanks Mark!”
