Reviews

Synthesized for each watch independently from owner discussions, enthusiast forums, written reviews, and video reviewers.

Seiko 62MAS

Owners widely praise the Seiko 62MAS for its beautiful vintage-inspired finishing, crisp bezel action, and overall build quality, with many appreciating its comfortable 40.5mm case and slim apparent height. Some owners report accuracy issues with the 6R movement, while others find it runs within specifications, and opinions are split on whether the 40mm size is too large for smaller wrists, with some noting it can wear top-heavy. The price point is considered high by some, though others deem it fair for a new watch. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the Seiko 62MAS highly for its faithful recreation of the original design and refined modern interpretation.

From video reviewers

The 37.5mm-38mm case size is a significant strength, offering a historically accurate and comfortable fit. Reviewers did not agree on any specific weaknesses.

VPC Watch TYPE 39VM (Presale)

The VPC Watch TYPE 39VM (Presale) is widely praised for its remarkable thinness, measuring just 9.34mm to 9.4mm for a 200m-rated automatic dive watch. Reviewers highlight the spectacular finishing quality, thoughtful details, and perfect execution, along with a scratch-resistant hard surface coating on the 39mm case. The watch features a matte black ceramic bezel with ivory-like numerals and applied indexes filled with BGW9 Super-LumiNova. It is powered by a COSC-certified Sellita SW300-1b automatic movement. Pricing starts at EUR 2,768, with one source noting a €2,998 price point excluding VAT, considered high on paper for a microbrand but justified by technical achievements. On balance, reviewers rate the VPC Watch TYPE 39VM (Presale) highly for its exceptional thinness and finishing at the price point.
