Why The Seiko SPB185 MM200 Is STILL One Of The Best Seiko Divers In 2023

Thanks to Exquisite Timepieces for sending this MM200 in for review!

The Seiko SPB185 Steelmaster / Marine Master 200 (MM200) / Marine Master Reduced has been one of my most anticipated watches ever since it was released back in 2020. I knew I wanted one but it just never happened. In the meantime I bought the SPB313 Slim Willard and SPB265 Captain WIllard, and I own the ultimate SLA021 Marine Master 300. This needed to change. I wanted to experience what I think is one of Seiko’s best tool dive watches.

So thankfully Exquisite Timepieces was able to send one in for review and I finally was able to wear what I hoped was going to be my new favorite watch. But now that its 2023, is it still worth it? In this video I’m going to get into the details about the MM200, the dimensions, how it wears on the wrist, the dial, handset, and case all that good stuff. Also while this isn't a MM300 comparison video I’ll be referencing it throughout the video because they are obviously directly related.

Also my Marine Master 300 is for sale! I have the original box and papers alongside the original rubber strap and bracelet with the quick adjust dive extension clasp. The condition you see in the video is what it is currently like in real life. Other than a couple small dings, the case barely has any scratches. Only some hairline scratches on the bottom bevel of the case side which are invisible in most lights and most angles. The bracelet is sized for my 7.5 inch wrist but other than 2-3 days, it was never worn. The rubber strap remains in good condition although it shows a normal amount of wear on the edges.

EMAIL ME AT thewatchidiot@gmail.com AND PLEASE INCLUDE YOUR ZIP CODE SO I CAN GET MYSELF A QUOTE. The price is $2,000 with FREE SHIPPING (in the US lower 48, anywhere else just contact me) which makes it cheaper than all of the comparable full set MM300s in the US on Chrono24 and Ebay. Thanks!
