This watch grows on you, I must say. While I typically don't like the way rectangular cases look on my small wrists (it's like they cut my wrist off), the circular dial on this watch makes its large case makes it quite the accommodating wrist piece.

This is a Japanese Domestic Market (JDM) Seiko 6306 Turtle — a rarer sibling to the more commonly seen 6309. It carries the “Third Diver” lineage before the 6309 era, with the hacking capability and refined movement that makes it highly prized among enthusiasts.

For the discerning collector of vintage gold watches, condition can be quite important. Precious metal should be as pristine as it can be - dial and hands included - and this watch on offer here checks all the boxes.
