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 Год назад

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 Год назад

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.

@sunflash101 Год назад

Congrats on the 10k milestone! You've become one of my favorite watch youtubers! If I won the Citizen, I'd put it on a nice black rubber strap for some more sporty versatility!

@johnseeger9083 Год назад

This is precisely why I watch your channel. Unvarnished assessments. Well done!

@davebudd1429 Год назад

Thaks for that great comparison. I'm toying with ordering a Slim Turtle and this video was really informative.

@michaelradtke3935 Год назад

Congratulations on the 10K !!!Great comparison of the two!!! I’d definitely be stumped on which to keep, but leaning to the King Turtle on value. 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 👍👍👍

@coreydavidson8221 Год назад

I think you made the choice with the slim turtle. Looks great! If I had the Citizen, I’d put one of the new bracelets Marc at Long Island recently released for the pro divers. Congratulations on 10k! Love your content!

@valtraone Год назад

I love Citizen watches, and the one you are giving away is absolutely beautiful. Happy with whatever strap it comes on if lucky enough to win it. Glad I found your channel !

@tcuda9469 Год назад

Great video as always! I would have to go with the king turtle as I have been wanting one for quite awhile. As far as the Citizen goes, I think a blue rubber strap like the one in the video would be sweet! Great content!!

@jlg395 11 месяцев назад

King Turtle all the way, for the day/date function alone.

@AdAce21 10 месяцев назад

For me, it’s the slim turtle (although you can pull both off) all day. The color combo and that “traffic light” seconds hand are just too cool.

@chadengelbrecht958 Год назад

Looks great as is with the factory strap! thank and great channel

@John-fy7hx Год назад

Beautiful watch. The factory strap works for me. Thanks for the channel content

@davidm8657 Год назад

The king turtle has so much going on. I don’t have any issue with the wide bracelet only narrowing to 20mm - I like ‘‘em chunky.

@garthholden1759 Год назад

Very generous of you. I would love that Citizen on a sail cloth strap.

@shukhamid3682 Год назад

congratulation on the passing the 10k mark. i already owned a few 44mm seiko dive watches and i think the slim turtle is a great alternative. for the citizen, as a bracelet guy i would love it on a bracelet but any any dive watch would feel nice to wear with a FKM strap.

@samuelkim2611 Год назад

Great review !!!

@TheHanniballs Год назад

Great review! I just ordered the slim turtle. What gray textile strap are you using in this video?

@mikevandenberg6558 Год назад

Congrats again on 10K! The Citizen would probably wind up on one of my FKM straps. Like the stock one, but really enjoy the FKMs I have on my larger divers.

@thewatchidiot Год назад

And thank you once again! an FKM strap would work very nicely on this one and it would probably be unbelievably comfortable! (also i sent you an email just now😁)

@andrewsantos8402 Год назад

Congrats on the 10k milestone, as for the citizen i’m happy with the blue rubber strap on it

@travisnation1134 Год назад

Digging the Slim Turtle. Good choice. Honestly, that stock Citizen strap looks pretty sweet!

@FourIntoOne Год назад

Good comparison, Slim turtle for me, thanks for highlighting this model, had no idea till now it existed, gone a bit cold on Seiko lately but this might change my mind..... Subscribed!

@bumblebaetuna2801 Год назад

Both watches could coexist in a collection as you’ve mentioned - the King T would do for me but that’s just my personal preference, both awesome watches. Congrats on the 10k and I’d put the Citizen on one of my Helm Komodo rubber straps 👍

@tudorman6773 Год назад

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.

@vwlukas Год назад

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.

@jeroennishikigoi1164 Год назад

Lets go with the factory strap for the Citizen. The slim turtle is on my list! Love the bracelet.😊

@jamessaund Год назад

Thanks for this mate, great comparison between these turtle models. As for the giveaway, I would pair the pro master with a grey nato strap to match that grey-blue dial!

@gustomundo Год назад

I think the promaster looks great on the strap it comes on! Both featured watches look great! Awesome channel!

@thewatchidiot Год назад

Agreed! i still wear my black dial promaster on the factory strap although i had to mold it with boiling water lol! I wish this new version still had the no deco table but I know i'm in the minority there. Thanks for your support!

@amjed8985 Год назад

Nice video WI, It’s a tough choice but I’d pick the turtle because of the dial. The pro master I’d try it on a leather tanned strap since I ain’t going diving with it. Keep up the good work

@ryancusick3417 Год назад

Hey @thewatchidiot! Where do you order your seikos? I’m having a difficult time finding the turtles anywhere online! Love your page btw, awesome content!

@Ketsbaia97 Год назад

Enjoy your reviews, 10k is just the start! If I won I’d put an uncle Seiko GL831 rubber strap on, which always brings out that vintage diver feel of a watch.

@carlospagi Год назад

Great vid and both stunning watches. My choice of strap for the citizen Promaster would be an orange isofrane style strap, that would really set it off a treat! Thank you. :)

@bs5383 Год назад

Great video and congrats on the 10k! Would go for the slim turtle, I like the case and brushing much more + I'm not a fan of a date cyclopse. The Citizen would go on a FKM rubber strap!

@marchforthfitness449 Год назад

Great vid! I think you just sold me on the slim turtle (as I’m even wearing my king turtle with removed cyclops👌🏼). I’d put an isofrane rubber on the Promaster, but I do love the oem strap with iconic n.d. chart.

@VasilijZ87 Год назад

Great video and congrats on a 10k subs... Regarding Citizen, it would have to be either steel or rubber bracelet, no third option 😂😂😂 I know strapcode have some great bracelets for Seiko, maybe something similar!😉

@60641k Год назад

Strapcode hexacode is the one I like the most of aftermarket bracelets. Waiting for my king turtle now and will buy that bracelet to try in the nearest future. For the citizen strap, I’d go with nato.

@henrikbertram4674 Год назад

Nice comparison, thank you. What do you think of comparing the slim turtle with one of the 42mm Willards? When I got my Willard it took all the wrist time from my turtle. 😁

@leonidaslantz5249 Год назад

I think aluminum bezels look much better than ceramic, and scratches, although I try to avoid them, add patina to a watch which I really appreciate.

@thewatchidiot Год назад

lol I'm the same, i want my keepers to have more scratches but despite my best efforts i subconsciously keep babying them!

@mariog7213 Год назад

Patina is the worst

@elihollingsworth6852 5 месяцев назад

Bezel scratches look like garbage, as do dial scratches.

@NexDim. 5 месяцев назад

I’m also hoping the newer bezels eventually fade too

@imarioiv Год назад

I have the 313, I love it, my only complaint is that it runs slow. Haven’t gotten around to regulating it. Definitely need to try out a “true” Turtle. The Citizen I would probably put on a MN strap! Great video!

@TanguiLeLead Год назад

great review =) For the strap choice on the promaster, I would go with a nato.

@billsprestonesq Год назад

Great video! I’d pair it with the Blushark Pajama 👍🏻

@danewithers9628 Год назад

Great video! I saw the white dial seiko recently and its a lovely looking watch. As for the citizen, i would be super boring and pair it with a grey nato lol. I don't own a blue dial in my collection so perhaps this would be a new obsession if i liked it.

@huckinator Год назад

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 Год назад

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

@timschwarze1739 Год назад

My first actual dive watch was the King Turtle in green and I was still debating whether or not to keep it and/or get a Slim Turtle. Now I now that I need both, you can never have too many Seikos after all! I'd put my newly acquired original blue Tropic strap on the Citizen! Would be a perfect match and who doesn't love a vanilla scent when looking at your wrist? Lol

@TheEasyRail Год назад

Always keep the first one. It's the special one. Afterwards they are just number unless bought for occasion

@felicecancellara4524 Год назад

the bracelet of my Turtle srp773 came off because the pin that holds the links together came out, my watchmaker said that there is a risk that it could happen again due to the way the bracelet is made. Is there any solution for this problem? I really care about this watch and I want to wear it on a bracelet. Great video 👏

@alexmcconnell111 Год назад

I’d go with a nato.. followed on watch crunch.. great video! Cheers

@alanmentzer8756 Год назад

Congratulations on the 10,000! I would put the watch on a Prometheus Design Werx grey NATO strap with its titanium hardware.

@neilba1 Год назад

I like both and I have a King Turtle....and love it. This more expensive version is nice. If it were 100 bucks more I'd buy it. It doesn't seem special enough or enough of a step up for almost double the price.

@archibaldstokes Год назад

I would swap Citizen strap for my retro waffle style rubber strap. Great video as usual by the way!

@mickyarronte320 Год назад

Great video. I would put a steel jubilee on the Promaster diver from Marc at Long Island watch. Cheers😊

@chrispapas409 Год назад

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.

@sebas2515 Год назад

Love the Slim Turtle! Just picked up a black land tortoise and I love the slim cushion design 😊. I would pair the pro diver with a navy blue seatbelt nato strap! Single pass for slimness haha

@vpapadim77 Год назад

Awsome video!!! I would keep the factory strap!!!

@palios1971 Год назад

Congratulations for the 10k. I would much prefer the slim turtle because of my slim wrist and the much nicer bracelet. As for the citizen watch , I would find a much nicer rubber/fkm strap.

@sgbh8874 5 месяцев назад

Why is the second hand lumed on the wrong side on the king T?

@bjornclaeys3266 3 месяца назад

@NATHANSFLETCHER Год назад

That slim turtle is gorgeous and like you, I think the bracelet is a big reason for that.

@samd.5203 Год назад

Great comparison. I would Try it on a tropics Rubber strap.

@donaldoxley1222 Год назад

10K, nice job Sir ! As far as the type of strap for the Promaster, l would have to go with a StrapsCo Waffle. They just suit the watch so well and are great on wrist. Luck to all and thanks for the opportunity to win.

@wjlevien Год назад

Great comparison video. Would you consider the 313 a permanent member of the collection?

@thewatchidiot Год назад

Glad you enjoyed the video! and as far as the 313 being a full on keeper, it sure is looking like that will be the case! The bracelet looks so good and its the only white dial black bezel combo that i actually like so i think its carved in a permanent spot

@finfallow3629 Год назад

Thanks for the giveaway! I’m a sucker for a nato

@lucacadianalbert Год назад

I would wear that Citizen on nice grey NATO....I think that combo would look AWESOME!!

@thewatchidiot Год назад

cant go wrong with gray natos! i was sooooo tempted to try out my grey natos on it but i didnt want to potentially scratch it. man i wish it had drilled lugs!

@lucacadianalbert Год назад

@@thewatchidiot yeah drilled lugs is something I wish more watches had. More of that and less quick release springbars

@jondunna1 Год назад

I've been eyeing this citizen for over a year now and it'd be pretty sweet if I won it. I think it looks gorgeous on its stock strap.

@theleastsignificantbit4794 Год назад

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.

@clontstable1 11 месяцев назад

What about the upgrade in the movements?

@nguyenquochai6273 Год назад

I'll go for the King Turtle, just because of the sapphire crystal. And for the citizen, i'll keep it on the factory strap and go for a sailcloth from time to time to dress it up

@Apple_banana Год назад

going to graduate from high school also going to turn 18 dont know what to choose between king turtle and the seiko 5 ssk gmt

@andrej7147 Год назад

I don't understand how can you return watches just like that? I have heard people returning watches after trying/wearing them, and I wonder what should the store do with those returned watches? Sell them to somebody else as "new"? Or throw them away? Not a nice thing to do. Go to the store, try it on and then decide to purchase or not. How can you return items after you use them. Maybe I am missing the point, if so, somebody please explain. Thanks!

@scotts6596 Год назад

LOVE the Citizens but never had a Seiko!

@trubadyr99 10 месяцев назад

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.

@aleksandargogic9084 Год назад

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.

@ae-ca602 Год назад

I like the new turtle and I was going to buy one but it all changed for me when CW released the new C60 Pro 300. CW won me over Seiko. Seiko needs to up their game if they want to fend off the competitions. They need to overhaul their bracelet and clasp quality.

@jamesblonde2271 Год назад

Thing about the King Turtle is it offers great value with the specs and that dial, not always a given with Seiko these days...Mine was £365 on the rubber, the black with a bracelet was £70 more, thats alot for a Seiko bracelet, im gonna mod the date away too.

@thewatchidiot Год назад

Yeah it packs in the value for sure but yeah mines a tiny bit misaligned at the 6 o clock position, thankfully its nothing serious. But yeah as a base to mod, the king turtle saves a bunch of money since the ceramic insert and sapphire crystal are included. saves more money to spend on a strapcode bracelet or to change up the date window like you!

@J_OWL_0000 Год назад

I'm all about those smaller dimensions, regular turtle's are just on my limit so a dmaller option is great. As for the strap choice on the promaster, I would go with a blue sailcloth from Artem, a very robust combo.
