Back with a bang in 2020! A big, glittery, golden bang! Thanks as always to Mr X for the loan of the watch, but he is getting a slightly late present in return, which takes the 'Gurtle' from good to great. Cheers, Jody

The misalignment is strong with this one ... must be a special edition... ;)

Every good seiko has a nick name.

“Ladies and gentlemen.... The C-3PO”

I'm genuinely puzzled at how Seiko's keep getting a pass on their awful QC. There is no excuse *at any price* for a misaligned bezel and chapter ring. No one would tolerate this in a $60 Invicta or any micro brand wanting our money, and yet with Seiko it's somehow supposed to be a charming quirk. It's not a quirk, its the mark of a brand that does not respect it's customers and takes them for granted.

I’ve also heard this one called the “C3PO”” and on that bracelet it really does look like the Star Wars android 🤪👍.

Honestly, that "alignment" is an embarrassment. I'm supposed to believe they can build a quality watch but they can't even make a dial and chapter ring where anything aligns? Cheap Invicta can do it, cheap Casio can do it, there is no excuse.

Gonna build my own Super Turtle completely from scratch (Namoki, DLW, LBI, Strapcode etc) it will end up being around 450USD.

I have a gold turtle. I put a gold Strapcode jubilee bracelet on it. Big time bling.

[SpartanCL]

Good luck getting this for $275 today haha

[pablorages]

The turtle is my favourite affordable Seiko dive watch .... never understood why people prefer the SKX

[Mr.Big-Gunz]

All i own is a timex expedition with a leather band, and indigo glow light, , its all i could afford, , and it works in the dark...

[grahampinnock]

I'm not a fan of gold on watches or in general. This watch looks ok-ish with the rubber strap but with the gold jubilee it looks fantastic. I'm surprised 😱 I am saying that. The best thing for me about Jody's channel is that my watch mind is constantly expanded. Happy 2020 everyone. 🎆

[bifflee]

Since owning a Zelos I’d never buy another seiko, I do like my turtle though

[joelwallace]

"...and that my friends is some next level Gurtle action....: - HAHAHA! I am still dying over that...too hilarious. Excellent content as usual = thumbs way up!

[genc]

Still waiting on that 41mm Seiko Samurai, though.. :(

[andrewhannam.]

Love the turtle! Never owned a gold or black watch... Didn't know how they would hold up.

[matthewdaniels]

I bought the SRP775 Turtle and I also did the Strapcode Jubilee. Plus, I opted for a sapphire crystal. I think it's strange that my SPR775 has a gold chapter ring and gold printing, but this model does not. Anyway, I love the Turtle. Great value, IMO.

[jeremydahm]

I forgive the lack of ceramic and sapphire. Then this is a 550 dollar gold watch. Most of us are tempted by this but have serious reservations about a gold anything. At the current market price, this is a very cool, wear it here and there piece. I shall think it's going to make it into my collection soon.... Makes you wonder where a 14 thousand dollar ( 10 thousand but somehow you pay 14 thousand) diver fits in any collection when you can have so much fun for so little.

[DeusNyx]

It looks like something Delboy Trotter would wear.

[valengreymoon]

I've got the JDM PADI version (SBDY017) of this bad boy, and an all original 6309 Turtle from 1977that my father bought new. I love them both, and I've never had a more comfortable pair of watches than these.

[jkokich]

I will never buy another Seiko. This misalignment crap is insulting.
