    18544298-vug4edeeubqaw6teqjr7xtpf-ExtraLarge.jpg


    This iconic Seiko Diver from May 1981 is a solid example of the rugged Turtle Diver. I have two and keeping 1 for the collection and putting this nice one back into circulation. It is in used but very good overall condition, and was purchased from Hub City Vintage (Seth Roberts) in 2019 after a full service. It is all original, other than replaced crystal and running great. A chance to buy an original piece serviced by a top Seiko watchmaker/dealer.
