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

Cru Jones · 9 May 2018, 07:54 PM

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.

Just got mine yesterday.
This is the newly released Turtle series ( Apr) for the Japanese domestic market. Love the kanji!

Congrats but bro you are not Japanese so why do you want Kanji?
