Thoughts on these two?

Today I had the pleasure of trying on both the Turtle and Samurai from Seiko's "save the ocean" collection.

I have to say that the dials are beautiful and both wore smaller than their respective sizes would suggest. I did have my SD43 on, so I guess that played a part. Surprisingly, despite its larger published case diameter, the Turtle felt and looked smaller.

Is there any real diffidence between those that are made in japan with the J1 referent, and those that are made in Korea/Malaysia with the K1 reference? In real world terms?

And does anyone know the difference between the references SRPC91J1 and SBDY021? Both seem to refer to the made in japan version but why two separate reference numbers ?

My preference is the Turtle, and I'm really tempted, but happy to hear thoughts and experiences too.

Cheers in advance and some pics, of course
