SEIKOSRPE03 Prospex Men's Watch Silver-Tone 45mm Stainless Steel

I am quite a watch fanatic and own many pieces from Rolex, Omega, Tudor, and Tag Heuer. This watch has a fantastic feel of quality at an affordable cost. I like to take a break from wearing my more expensive pieces to keep the wear off them. Also, getting robbed downtown for your watch is a real thing these days. This Seiko has near the same quality feel of my Submariner at a fraction of the cost. Let's be real it is not a Rolex or Omega by any shape, form, or fashion. The automatic movement works well and I have to make a slight adjustment about every 3 weeks. However, for $500 bucks you can't go wrong and your are getting many of the same benefits of a quality timepiece. I suggest this Seiko since it has a Sapphire Crystal as well. To me that is a minimal requirement for someone that is very active , in the woods, or on the water often. I forget I am not wearing my Omega or Rolex at times and go weeks without taking it off. Don't be afraid to add this Seiko to your collection. Cheers

AWESOME WATCH. With infinite strap options. Formal and sport at the same time. A diver+++

Excellent watch. Chapter rings align as does the cyclops. I have had it on my wrist for 5 days and tracked the accuracy with an app and was blown away. I am getting average of +1 sec/day. Probably luck of the draw but that is an amazing movement. Went in the water and went snorkeling with it. Amazing value for money and a solid offering by Seiko. The only downside was the pin and collar system when sizing the bracelet. I have the tools and knew what I was doing and still was a chore to size it. Make sure to look for seiko pin and collar on youtube. If you don’t set the pins properly the bracelet will fall off. The bracelet and watch are super comfortable. The picture does not do it justice. Amazing watch!!!

I've had this for almost two years and it spends more time on my wrist than any other piece in my collection.The 45mm case size almost made me shy away, but the short lug-to-lug dimensions has this wearing smaller - closer to 43mm. The cushion case design makes it that much more wearable since it is a heavy chunk of metal with quite a bit of real estate in it's overall design.The sapphire crystal and ceramic bezel insert make the face of this watch virtually immune to scratches. Can't tell you how many times I've banged this on door knobs, seat belts, washers, etc. The perfect tool watch.It isn't perfect and has the signature Seiko quality control issues. In my case, the bezel is almost half a click out of alignment, but it's not a deal breaker, and it's relatively easy to correct it. I think it's part of the Seiko charm. It does come with a cyclops, but mine wasn't aligned properly and it really bothered me. A bit of patience and heat from a soldering iron will be able to loosen up the adhesive so that it can be removed. I also wasn't a fan of the bracelet that comes with the watch. The Turtle feels right at home on a NATO or an aftermarket jubilee with fitted end links.These sport the 4r36 movement and it is good enough with mine losing about 12s/day. It can be regulated, but it is within tolerance and it gives me an opportunity to interact with the watch that much more. Seiko's movements are known for their dependability and I know people that have 20+ year-old pieces that have never been serviced and are still running well. There's a reason it's the movement of choice for a lot of microbrands.Dressed up or dressed down, the SRPE03 King Turtle is perfect for almost any occasion and I truly believe that this is an instant classic and one of the last bastions of affordable quality from Seiko.

Pretty much any watch is a luxury item, if you have a cell phone you don't need a watch. But I LOVE this watch. I love the vintage 70's look of the cushion case, the crown at 4, and the waffle dial. I swapped out the bracelet for a rubber strap and it is much lighter and more comfortable to me.I did not have any alignment issues, everything is straight and well aligned. Bezzle operates very smoothly.If you like the look of this watch, just get it an enjoy it. This is my most worn watch out of about 10.

It looks better in person. I bought this watch; because I wanted a daily automatic (work horse) watch that I wouldn’t mind if it got beat up. I think this will be just fine. It claims ~ 40 hrs power reverse. (Will update if changes) (update -> after three days of use; the watch may loose/gain seconds BUT without checking professionally you won’t be able to tell. Still accurate to the minute after three days of use (includes winding/never letting it run out of wind; definitely recommend!

To start off the watch was shipped in those shipping bags with no padding, the watch box was destroyed. If it wasn't for the cardboard sleeve the watch definitely would have flown out.Alright, that sucks but at least the watch is nice. Two gripes with the watch, misaligned bezel (yes I know it's typical but for the amount of money you're paying for a king turtle cmon seiko) I couldn't stomach that. The last gripe is was the thread on the crown was extremely rough. If I would have kept the watch it would have definitely stripped. Once again, close to 500 dollar "King Turtle" I shouldn't have to be dealing with this.Normally I would exchange the watch it was nice but flawed, although the handling of the watch from point A to point B was abysmal I'd rather not take the chances again. Who ever shipped the watch did not care so neither should I. 1/5

I’m very shocked how awesome this King turtle is and the quality is very impressive.
