I bought the King S STO. I paid like 600 USD for it. This darn watch, expensive as it was, gains 30 seconds per day. You’d imagine that the quality control would be better. I am quite disappointed that after just buying it I’m going to have to take it to be fixed.
Great review. My first one of these bought last week was running visibly 2 min a day fast. Tried it on a freebie watch timing app out of interest 125 seconds face up, 136 seconds 12 down.(156 seconds 12 up!) UK department store processing a refund currently as no exchange in stock and dont offer a regulation service. It also came in a Seiko 5 branded box with SRPE037k1 stickers on? And no signed warranty. My second version bought this week from a watch dealer, slightly dearer, proper box and card, 14 seconds face up, and i love it. Is going to alternate with my Sharp Edged for office duty whilst the Sumo and King turtle take care of the rough stuff.
I ordered this from eBay for 345 plus tax and shipping. It came out to 385 and got the hex bracelet from Long Island watch for 58 after coupon. Much cheaper than the strapcode bracelet. It looks very nice and unique. Even better than Omega seamaster. I just wish it was a tad smaller.
That is the 400GT by Bonetto Cinturini. They are an Italian company. To keep it short, not the cheapest rubber strap but the best one money can buy in my opinion. Still smells like vanilla years later. I purchased mine on eBay but they can be purchased through their website as well as other vendors. You just have to search a little as they aren’t to common to have in stock state side.

I've seen several reviews lately where the date change is engaged. Great watch but sort of distracting. Nice review!

Perfect bezel alignment and date window position.
