Incoming Turtle Save the Ocean!!

My first Seiko and I am amazed by the quality of this watch for the money incredible

Its a mechanical watch with Day & Date - mine is gaining only 6 seconds per day which is amazing accuracy for the price.

The lume quality is amazing.

It's really comfortable to wear with the silicon strap I forget it's there.

The dial is beautiful pictures hardly do it justice.

This is now my daily wearer - my 116618lb has been demoted to the safe for special occasions only

Excellent for a first Seiko! I have this as well and it's one of my favourite Seiko ( and I got many! ). You will find yourself buying a lot more.

Congrats, I purchased the 'Golden' Turtle recently from a TRF member and couldn't be happier myself. Absolute bargain IMO !

Thanks everyone & congrats to those that have also just got one

Seiko really did an amazing job on this and for the money it's incredible value. It's one of those purchases that is even better than you were expecting & is now my new daily wearer!!

This dial is amazing in person. Been in my wrist almost daily since buying the samurai version.

I love that watch. Great value for your dollar for sure. I have my turtle on a BC284. Look it up if you want something a little more comfortable imho, they smell like vanilla also.

Very good pictures of a dial that is difficult to photograph. A very attractive watch!

The Golden turtle and this STO are two of the best, IMHO.

Congratulations on your STO , great watch & really like the dial . I got mine last month & wear it regularly , love the comfort of the OEM silicone strap, but have put mine on a Seiko jubilee for a couple of weeks & it's super comfy
