First (of many?) Limited Edition STO 6105-8000 ReIssue

[HiBeat]

Well the L.E. parade based off the SPB313 series is here !



Save the Ocean is the series but it looks more like the White Birch Grand Seiko than the previous STO divers.





Gorgeous in every way. I have the SPB317 and can attest to the wearability and fine craftsmanship of this case design.

I note the family phhttps://monochrome-watches.com/seiko-prospex-save-the-ocean-limited-edition-spb333-ice-textured-dial-hands-on-specs-price/oto in the article lines up the SPB317, 313 and 315 L to R but they mislabel the ordering as 313, 315 and 317 if anyone is keeping score at home.

That is rather nice and not a bad price either.

They are great looking watches but may be too small for my giant ham hock wrist.

I especially like the 317.

Very nice and they even got me softened on my pet peeve of having a date window between 4 and 5.

The date's digits are perpendicular to the horizontal axis  which implies this wasn't a parts bin creation.

Oh, and that strap I'm really curious about.

My SPB237 came with 2 of these "seichu" straps and while I have never unwrapped them because they sell for a lot each and I'd prefer to get top dollar when the watch + box + papers gets sold in year 2030 (LOL!) they are very intriguing.

You make a great observation - the reason the date at 4:30 works is how they angled it and not just a different place on the dial to see the normal date wheel.  I didn't really 'see' that until you pointed it out.

Sorry, that does nothing for me!

[tritto]

That looks pretty good. I'd be happy to wear one.

I have grown to dislike date only dials unless they have been well executed.

Otherwise they just give a cheap look, especially without a frame.

Personally, I would leave them out.

Other than that, nice watches.

Not to my taste either
