Incoming Seiko

Incoming Seiko, my first Seiko watch. Not bad at all for $160. Needed a low profile watch for a few days

Nice! A Low Profile Watch to Roll into the Hood? Where you going to be have to be "low profiling"?

Congrats. Wear it in good health and peace of mind in safety, if that is the reason for going low profile.

Day Date, automatic, lume, graduated bezel, diver, all for under $200.

Only if we could get rolexes like this!

How big is it?

I read that it is 44mm. The SKX 007 is 42mm and it wears well on my 6.5 inch wrist. How does the 605 wear?

Very pretty blue on face and bezel. Gold accents on hour markers look good. Exhibition back. $169.

Very much. It costs about half a Turtle, but very nice. Thanks for the info, I was unfamiliar with it.

Great watch. I am a big Seiko fan and enjoy the mid tier watches.

I find the Seiko 605’s rubber strap a bit stiff and long. Any replacement ideas?
