Loved this watch and highly recommend Somerville! On-time delivery and high quality.
The pictures speak for themselves. This is a stunning, eye catching piece that polishes up nice and fits comfortably. The fit and finish is what you’d expect from this price point and overall is satisfactory. The crown threads are a little stiff, bracelet and clasp were a little sharp but not a show stopper. NH34 movement is accurate and sapphire crystal is a nice touch. Shipping was fast and watch came with lots of protective wrapping in box.
Pro tip: All screw pins will need locktite 222 applied after adjusting or these will back themselves out and could separate your band inadvertently. Even if on those you are not removing, unscrew all, apply locktite and screw back in.
My only 2 gripes are - lume is very weak - almost non-existent and price could be about $20 - $40 less as there are many shops offering this same piece for less.
Overall very satisfied with watch and company.
Thanks for the feedback, Ryan! The tip about the loctite is smart, althougth it does come pre-applied from the factory. My advice would be to only re-apply loctite to the screws which you unscrew and screw back in during sizing.
Regarding our pricing. I think you'll find it's worth the extra $20-40. Although other companies make watches that look similar to ours, there is definitely a quality difference. Most of our competitors use cheaper parts, like bracelets that lack a glidelock clasp. On top of that, they often fail to live up to their promises when it comes to warranty repairs, since, despite claiming to be US based, most of them are overseas dropshippers. They don't actually have a domestic worskhop for you to send your watch to for repairs.
The watch arrived lightning fast and is high quality. It has a nice heft to it, and the gears are smooth. The build quality is excellent, and I was impressed by how it turned out. I can't wait to order a different model!
Thanks a ton for the review, Josh! The watch looks great on you!
I love this watch what can I say! Quality is perfect! Not only looks great, on my wrist but runs great as well! I was hesitant at first because I usually wear a bigger size watch but this 40mm fits and looks perfect on my wrist! Thanks to everyone at Somerville for a great watch! Already waiting for my next watch to be built!
Thanks for the continued support! Looking forward to getting that build finished up soon!
Enjoy very much my yacht-master and my GMT and my Nautilus from Somerville. Keeping in time with the classic designs
Thanks a ton!
Love this watch! Couldn't be happier.
If you're happy, we're happy!
I’m naturally skeptical when it comes to to certain things like buying from retailers that I’ve never heard of but while doing research on the best Seiko mod companies, I came across you guys. I absolutely know that I made the right decision from the moment that the watch arrived. Shipping was quick and the watch is absolutely gorgeous. Aside from my Omega, this is my second favorite watch that I own. I will be buying from you guys again!
Thank you so much for the kind words!
A great watch. Slightly thicker than a Patek Philippe, but overall very nice. Great and fast shipping from Somerville Watch Co. Definitely the place for SEIKO Mods. Bought also after this aquanaut, 2 GMT’s
Thank you for the continued support!
Very impressed - it’s become my daily driver for watches and I’ll definitely be back for more in the future.
Thanks for the review! Looking forward to your next one!
Great watch perfect just what my son wanted
Glad to hear it!
This is my third watch and they have all been fantastic so far. I get compliments everywhere I go when I Wear this. Awesome experience great company
Thank you Michael, it has been our pleasure!
Great quality Will for sure buy another.
Thanks so much, John!
Beautiful piece, the pvd plating is gorgeous and the sunburst green dial is the perfect contrast to the gold on the rest of the watch, this watch gets many compliments when I wear it. I already ordered a seikoak from Somerville and plan on many more to come
Thank you for the kind review! The watch looks great!
Fantastic craftsmanship, perfect weight. All parts are high-quality. My new “everyday” watch. Will do business with SWC again and recommend you do too!
Thank you for the kind review!
SWC is an elite watchmaker and their craft is on full display with this GMT mod. My jeweler was stunned, as was I. Photo of the gold GMT next to the Rollie. You can’t spot the difference. Thank you!
Thank you for the kind review!
I received my Santos watch today and it is beautiful. I am happy with it. The look and quality exceeded my expectations. I have already picked out my next watch. Thanks again
Thanks, Michael! We are glad to see you are appreciating the quality of our watches!
El reloj está perfecto y es precioso. Lo único que venía sin la caja. Eso no me gustó
Gracias, Antonio! We appreciate your review!
I get asked about this watch everywhere I go. The movement is durable and reliable. Can’t say enough about it! Reliable seller , going to pick up another watch for today!
Thanks for the kind words, Carlos! We appreciate your support
Great quality and looks like it’s costs thousands! This was my first of many from Somerville!
Thanks Freddie, the watch looks great on you!
Great price great people to work with and excellent!
Thanks so much for the kind words!
I'd been looking at various watches, but liked the look of the "R" company. There was no way I could afford a real "R" and clones were too risky. I came across Somerville and got the look I wanted with the confidence of using a Seiko base. Highly recommend the watch and the vendor. I look forward to ordering more!
Thanks for giving us a chance, Richard!
