Any seiko owners out there?
I’m about to pick up a seiko turtle as a pool, yard work, fishing, etc beater. As I don’t want to beat the crap out of the sub ceramic with some of these activities. Anyone out there own one?
I am thinking of sending it to this guy “shadow watch maker” whom patinas the lume plots, bezel, etc... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I use my turtle as a beater all the time, great watch, and inexpensive. The bezel is aluminium, so will scratch, but if you don't mind that, it's fabulous!

The turtle is a great watch and one of my favorites. Get one, have the patina done and enjoy.

The only problem with the Turtle is that you might find you enjoy wearing it more than your Sub.

I love the sub but just want something that won’t make me cringe if I scrape it on the side of the pool, hit it with car parts, Etc. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I used to have a turtle and loved it. Right now I have a Seiko skx013 and enjoy wearing it as much as I enjoy wearing my Datejust!

Have multiple Rolexes and Seikos, including multiple Turtles. Probably wear the Seikos more.

I enjoy my SRP773 Turtle. The one caveat is the rubber strap. It picks up so much lint. However, it’s very comfortable. You will enjoy it. The lume is probably the best on the market.

I know what you mean. It's still a super comfy strap but so annoying! Check out a Crafter Blue fitted for that model. Absolutely superior and not a lint catcher.

My modded turtle runs a consistent +2 sec per day. My history w/ Seiko, be it vintage or new, has proven they are built like tanks and present an incredible value.

I easily wear my Seiko watches twice as much as my Rolex watches. I run in spells and depending on the weather and time of year, I am almost exclusively Seiko and Tudor.

Check out the king turtles (SRPE03, SRPE05 and SRPE07), they have ceramic bezels and sapphire crystals.

The King Turtles are great and work well on both the metal bracelets and rubber straps.

Hi Dan. Did you get your turtle regulated? I have a SKX and it’s consistent but +18 a day. Contemplating doing a DIY attempt at slowing it down a tad.

Any seiko owners out there?
Seiko dive watches have a charm that other brands can only dream about.
