I really like the Turtle, I have 3. It’s a really cool watch and used to be reasonably priced. The cyclops completely kills it for me, I really don’t understand why they chose to put it on. It’s also a little pricey. I would say it really not worth what they want for this.

They had all the the right ingredients from *the great white edition*(SBDY031).The foundation was there. They should have just removed the circular pattern from the bezel ,add the color scheme of the srp777 and remove the "save the ocean"motif. Put an ar coated treated sapphire crystal, fit a proper 22mm diver bracelet worthy of a toolwatch and sort the alignment issues.Done.500-600 USmax.Done. You could have had your perfect "entry level" dive watch in the prospex dive watch family. These prices are just obscene and seiko are are taking advantage of their customers and fanbase.

Richard Bertoso it’s pretty easy to solve. Your just unlucky that you got an inaccurate piece ootb, send it to a local watch smith have him check, usually no issues. Just ask the watch smith to adjust the watch to make it accurate and also do some minor maintenance to your watch. Sometimes your work place could be affecting the accuracy, if your working in power plants, power station, radio station etc which could affect the hair springs revolution making it off beat and the time will be miss regulated.
