After signup discount, it's $259, which is $40 less than SB. I have too many tortoises/turtles/kings so I'm skipping this one.

@Chazzozz!!
Nice! I spent a while posting a deal for an Astron that is sub-$2K and it was unpublished due to insufficient quantity, so perhaps I'll need to console myself with this one instead.
A Seiko with sapphire glass? What's next, aligned bezel?
Fk it, bought one.
What's next, aligned bezel?
Savage.
But fair.
The bezels on these don't click, it just slides. So no Seiko bezel alignment lottery
It's okay. They're find a way to misalign the rehaut with the indices :)
Very nice. Great price too.
@Zippy7
Here's your second chance!
thank you.
np, enjoy!
Thanks @rosebank .. I took a bit too long to think when the Starbuy deal was posted and it was OOS by the time I went to purchase.
Ordered one now.
I was so close to buying one of these in Japan for $400, but didnt bite the bullet as it wasnt Japanese made.
$259 though sign me up.
The whole reason I didnt bite in Japan was because it was a SRPG13K (made outside Japan), not J, and I figured I wanted to bring back a Japanese watch.
Surprised these are J's honestly, makes it so much more worth it. I didn't even check before rushing it through the checkout.
Very tempted, only hesitation is may be it's on the smaller side? 42.4mm
A King Turtle 47.7mm would have been perfect.
Has 42mm ever been small?
Lug to lug size is 45.2mm, usually takes up 75-95% of the width of your wrist, which is 47.58mm to 60.27mm wrist width. Classical style - go small, modern style (eg. smartwatches diameter 45-49mm) - go bigger.
The navy and faux-tina/cream look good together.
Damn too slow
Still available..
The original model isn't but the second colourway is.
Pulled the trigger on the blue one. Too hard to pass at $259 lol.
Yes, blue still available - was happy to get for $259 delivered :)

how did you get the sign up bonus, ik it sounds stupid but does it take time to get emailed?
It's instant and coupon applies to cart.
Google watch depot vip club, you should be able to sign up and get the code from there. That's what I did earlier 😊
There was a popup on the bottom right of the page prompting me to sign up for a $20 voucher.
It was auto applied too
thanks guys it didn't come up for me but 279 is still pretty damm good for a J seiko pulled the trigger!
What’s the actual normal price for these watches?
Normal retail at Watchdepot is $825.
Also, now unavailable.
Do you guys buy this for resale or what
I have collection hobbies to give myself another 1-7 business days worth of will to live.
i'm seeing my shrink today. we've been working on resisting impulse purchases for 12 hours without offing myself to 24 hours. i hope i reach 7 days one day. stay strong homie
flipping low-end seikos helps me pay for my yacht maintenance, child support (multiple) and the retainer for my team of lawyers
I can see any other reason 😂😂
Got offered an SRPH17J instead by watch depot, worth it?
Does this have sapphire glass as well?
Their website listing literally tells you.
But yes I would go for that if they offered it to you for same price.
I got offered a SRPG17J instead
Yeah they went back on it and said they were meant to offer a SRPG17J, how is the watch compared to this ozbargin one? In terms of looks and value?
I got the watch 5 days ago. I like the compact and thin look of it. It is also quite light. I am glad I sold my Seiko SRPF77K and got this one. The first 24 hours, it was 8 seconds ahead (not worn), the second 24 hours, it went back to zero (worn), the 3rd and 4th went up to 3 seconds ahead/day (worn). So far the accuracy is much better than the SRPF77K which was 15 seconds late/day.
Looks a bit different… not everyone will be a fan, but I like it.
Thanks for taking the time to post it !
