Incoming Turtle
I've been eyeing these for a while. The question came down to which one. I went with the SRPA21 because I liked the colors. The watch pops in the sunlight. Plus it's a great watch to mix up with different straps for the summer. I wore it on the bracelet for a week and I like it. Yesterday I put a blue Bonetto Cinturini 284 on it. Makes a big difference. Might go for a red strap next.
Big thanks to Dan Pierce and Adam for pointing me in the right direction for the straps

Congratulations, that looks really super Paulie. I need a colourful turtle to go with my black one, I think

Wonderful summer watch with bright colors. Nice choice!
Are the bezel inserts aluminum on these Seiko divers? |

Thanks Cru Not sure but I'd think they'd be aluminum or SS.

Great watch and one of my personal favorites in the Seiko Turtle line-up. I have had several friends that have seen it in person and have purchased the watch. Congratulations.

Looking good! I am looking at the 62MAS reissue SBDC055 Seiko. Never owned a Seiko diver. I am afraid of the wormhole it may take me down.

Congrats! Love this reference...the colors are amazing. I use Bonetto Cinturini straps and they are terrific. I also have the Zuludiver rubber NATO and it is fantastic as well.
