Incoming Green
I put my deposit down last week and picked it up today
I sort of knew it was my destiny to get one of these since Baselworld, having been lucky enough to visit remote Yakushima - the island that supposedly inspired this limited edition SLA019 "Deep Forest" diver - on a media tour ten years ago. The green really is deep, too, and quite hard to get on camera. Just a few pics for now, and probably a fuller review later Some shots on the silicone strap . . .

That is a real beauty Adam, honestly
What is the size of this reference? Edit: it’s a shame we don’t have as many options for Seiko here in my area. |

Thanks guys. According to my digital caliper it's 44mm wide and 15.5mm high. it wears smaller though, more like a Black Bay. My wife even had a go with it on her 5.5-inch wrist and just about got away with it.

Wow Adam, that is stunning. I have owned a green sub and never wore it, I actually hated the green. The Seiko pulls it off much better, it looks perfect. Green is my favorite color and love a little dash of it on a watch. Rolex is way to green, Seiko did it right.
Huge congrats!

Cheers Brian Thanks Paulie, I appreciate it. I was quite lucky to get this one ordered and deposit paid when I did. Just wandered in to the store on the offchance and someone had cancelled. Or so they said. I've never commited to buy a watch without trying on before, but figured I wouldn't lose much on this if I didn't like it.

Seiko is the king of good lume
Also, green is my favourite colour, so I'm green with envy |

Looks great. The higher end of Seiko's prospex line is giving the Swiss a run for their money

Congrats! I'm glad to see another member on the forum enjoying this watch just as much as I am.
Also, what number out of the 1968 did you get if you don't mind me asking? |

That is phenomenal. I’ve never seen that shade of green on a watch.

Me neither. It's like British Racing Green but a couple of shades darker. Every now and then the dial will throw out a lighter green sunburst.
