Seiko has a long history of making iconic affordable dive watches starting from the original 62MAS to the SKX. However, the Turtle in all of its generations are amongst the most popular Seiko dive watches out there. At the moment, Seiko makes multiple versions of the Turtle for different tastes and budgets. The two best models are the Slim Turtle (SPB313 / SBDC171) which is the thinnest Prospex dive watch available, and the King Turtle (SRPE03), which has been fully upgraded with a sapphire crystal, ceramic bezel and more. When I purchased my Slim Turtle I was strongly considering buying the King Turtle, and I’m still pining for a King Turtle.
So in this video, I’ll go through the details of the King Turtle like its dial, bracelet, case, and bezel and I will compare it to my SPB313 Slim Turtle to see which one offers more value. Finally i will decide whether or not I will keep the King Turtle.

You make a good point about the bezel inserts. I happen to like aluminum bezels more than ceramic bezels, unless it's matte ceramic. So I'll always prefer the "worse" aluminum bezels just as we all prefer "worse" mechanical timekeepers lol!
@thewatchidiot
@thewatchidiot Жыл бұрын
loooool thats right mechanical watches are worse tome keepers indeed! Same here i tend to prefer aluminum bezels but thats only because i dont like the look of matte black dials (basically dark gray dials) paired with a deep black and shiny ceramic bezel. This combo is way too common and I'm not at all a fan. And plus its fun trying to bleach aluminum bezel to ghost them 😁
@typebflieger
@typebflieger Жыл бұрын
Couldn’t agree more. I find shiny ceramic far too blingy and distracting as it picks up so much glare. A matte aluminum bezel makes the dial pop a lot more.

Also kinda like the slightly larger size, and would remove the cyclops to clean up the look a bit. As for the Citizen, I’d either put it on a NATO, or search out one of their metal bracelets that has the nifty extension built in. Keep up the great work, looking forward to seeing more 👍👍👍

Great video as always. As far as Seiko's go I'd pick the King Turtle. The slim one looks cool and the proportions are spot on but I don't like the date window. When it comes to Promaster I'd like to try it on Uncle Seiko velcro or US rubber cause Citizen rubber straps are pretty usually pretty stiff, at least the ones I've tried so far were.

Congrats on 10k. I recently purchased a king turtle manta ray and it’s stunning I also have the SPB151 Willard and yes the turtle is better value for money, but the Willard has an X-Factor. I got the turtle from a private seller on Chrono24, it came with a nato but’s it 20mm😂. It would look well on the Citizen. P.S. I’m also following you on WatchCrunch.

Love the Slim Turtle and the white dial, great bracelet too, really suits it. For the Citizen I would stick to factory strap to begin with, too often I have bought a strap for a watch before the watch even arrives!. Lately I tend to try it on the strap the manufacturer designed for it and then if it has some shortcoming I can't get over I will change it.

My next dive watch needs to be a black dial with a “tool watch” vibe. I have a few divers but my black dial I have is the oris aquis 400 caliber. I love it but it’s very polished (once again I love that too). I definitely try to match my watches to my outfit a lot of times and sometimes the polished surfaces don’t go as well as an all brushed surface. Got my eyes on the spb143!
@thewatchidiot
@thewatchidiot Жыл бұрын
oh man an aquis has been on my list for years now! The caliber 400 variants are awesome and makes it much more tempting but it does have a lot of polish for sure. The SPB143 would be a perfect companion piece it can play the tool watch role and it can be dressed up easily. Not to mention that it can actually be worn with straps lol! As great as the aquis bracelet is, not being able to swap straps as easily has been a pretty big minus point for me, although not as big now

The original 6309 Turtle had a rounded case shape. As much as I want to like the SRP777 (owned one) and the King Turtle, the elongated and bigger case ruins its looks. It seems that seiko took parts of its inspiration for the modern Turtles from the 6105-8000. You can see it when you place the watches side by side. I think you made a good choice keeping the Slim Turtle.

Thanks for the video. I think that everyone who has a smaller wrist than you do needs to take a serious look at the Slim Turtle. I have 7.25" wrists, which are .25" smaller than yours, and it certainly will fit better. Actually, the maximum recommended watch case size for the 7.25" wrist is 43" as far as I have read. Besides: s Slim Turtle looks more elegant and sophisticated to me, while a King Turtle looks more bulky, sort of "red necky" to me. So one with the smaller wrists should consider these arguments, besides in the Slim Turtle Seiko used a better movement.

A great comparison TWI. I would have to agree with your conclusion to keep the slim turtle though. To me apart from the size it's just a little more readable at a glance. I'm not a huge fan of the candy bar date magnifier either even though. The slim turtle has the date at 4:30 it's so much more discreet yet functional and distracts less from the overall symmetry of the watch. Onto the colour scheme, well I love the Omega SM300M great white and the slim turtle looks like it should work just as well.

Thanks as always! And you're absolutely right about the slim turtle being more legible, i think it has to do with the simplicity vs the busier King turtle despite the king turtle having the more traditionally legible combo (black dial/white indices). The black dial Seamaster 300M has been on my radar to rebuy for ages now but now my experience with this slim turtle is making me consider the white dial Seamaster! (also i just sent you an email sorry about the delay!!)

@@thewatchidiot I think the 300M looks great with either the black or white dial. I've not seen one but the new green dial allegedly looks great but I'll be sticking with the white.

I would prefer the smaller one as well BUT I hate the date window. As for the giveaway watch, I'm partial to a good silicone strap.

There really is a Seiko for everyone. Brilliant video. Have you looked at Christopher Ward watches? I'm seriously considering getting a C60. Cheers. BTW I'd wear the Citizen on a NATO.

Seiko's doing good things these days! Yeah I actually owned the C60 Sapphire Black! it was an absolutely incredible watch but i had to return it because i needed money to get my Black Bay 58 925. I really want to get another CW tho because they're on another level. Yeah the Promaster looks and feels great on natos, its a strap monster!

I think the thin turtle looks better but not fan of the small date window, but not a deal breaker. Citizen looks great on the stock strap.
