Just arrived and put on a Strapcode Tropical. It's finished beautifully, but it feels a bit top-heavy on the wrist.

Top-heavy... really I'll have to do a search on you* to see what other watches you wear - perhaps then I'll understand why you feel that's the case with the SLA017... . In any event, steer clear of any Seadwellers... *EDIT - done; ok, well, if you wear mainly vintage Seiko / Grand Seikos... I now understand your POV

Interesting to see Seiko/Doxa/omega have very similar case structures on the divers. My understanding is that Doxa did make cases for omega back in the day

Does anyone have a comparison picture of a SLA033 and a Submariner? I am thinking about buying one but can't see it in person before hand. Also, is the case size similar to the SPB261 ? Thanks!

Make no mistake... the SLA033 is not like the seiko 'turtles'. those are seikos, this is MUCH MORE of a Grand Seiko and it was actually built and finished in the grand seiko factory, NOT in the seiko factory. the finishing reflects the zaratsu finishing. |

Thank you very much, those were helpful. They don't wear as large as I thought they would.

Sla033 is a very wearable size. Should be no problem there. And they are a big step up in quality vs ‘normal’ turtles. Have had a fair few turtles including various LE’s and there is quite a difference.
