Very cool piece. Special Edition. Kanji (Japanese) date wheel. Dial is outstanding. Purchased at MAKO in Ginza (Luxury department store with fantastic watch brands available). Man, what service for a pretty in expensive item.

I also bought an OEM rubber dive strap which goes perfectly and I much prefer to the steel band.

Congrats...the rubber is a great fit with the Turtle. Mine is an 83 serial (March 2018) too

Congrats. Great pickup.
Mine says hi. Got the rubber strap as well as a few natos.
