Seiko 5 SNZF17K1 Watch Review Summary

My rating: 8.5/10, Very good watch, good quality affordable Rolex submariner homage.

Seiko 5 SNZF17K1 watch is part of Seiko’s sport series of watches, it’s a homage to the popular Rolex Submariner. For many this is exactly what they are looking for, an affordable alternative to the popular Rolex watch. As far as build quality goes this watch can stand proud. It uses a Japanese 21 jewel automatic movement and features high quality luminous markers, screw down crown and one of my favourite features the see through case back so you can view the watch movement.
