What a great case back (imo) :) and another

Great front and back:93: Do not have many anymore but still have a soft spot for the Sportsman.

Love to see that Seahorse in intact condition !! Lovely watch :clap:

Nice!!, what does the "STP" mean? if anything?

Very nice looking, John.

Mark

elegant and very classy.

Maybe

Maybe it means .........
" Special To Possess or Protect " :72:

Nice watch (Seiko Tin Plating?)

Cool watch all the way around, but John, do you have a saddle for the Sea Horse? Inquiring minds want to know.

First one i've seen as well and i do look at a few case backs

I like it that they used the term 'Water Protected'. I worked for a Japanese company and translations were often needed for the translations! I love those watches though. I initially was looking for a vintage Omega when I stumbled upon a 7016-8000 via a friend and thus my Seiko addiction started. I want one of those vintage Sportsman's and a 62mas to finish my little collection but now I have to try and find what back I want on it! Very cool watches all of them congrats!
