seiko makes great watches. i have an srpd55 and love it. good looking and runs better than spec at <5 sec per day.

I'm loving this kamasu. Also very good specs for the money. Also the dial looks very good on sunlight.

200 WR and sapphire crystal. I find the build quality a little above to the other 2 seikos I own.

But the seiko you wanna buy it's also very good

Seiko srpe55 is usually my recommendation for someone that's looking of all purpose mechanical watch under 300 USD. I think it'll make a great first watch for most people.
