Seiko Prospex Save The Ocean 'Manta Ray' (King Turtle) SRPE39K1 Divers Watch | Unboxing mini review 

Nice! I might have to look into that. This dial is still one of my faves!

@@TheLumeRoom yes try it. I used to be mesmerised by the dial. After swapping out the crystal, i simply cannot stop staring at it!

I agree, it's one of their best yet!

Thanks for watching! It's a stunning watch so go for it. Full review video is in the works too!

Are you a collector or will it be your first watch?

I own sumo black gen 3 and turtle batman.. that s all i hv

You and me both my friend. The dial is art like you said. So affordable and extremely beautiful watches. Seiko nailed it with these!

Seiko blood moon

And?

i guess I'm kind of randomly asking but does anyone know of a good place to stream newly released tv shows online?

@Bentlee Alessandro flixportal =)

Haha, glad you enjoyed the vid! Have fun with the watch :)

Thanks so much for watching and I'm glad I could help. Enjoy the watch!

These King Turtles are so well made. Love them!

Enjoy it my friend 👍🏻

It's definitely one of my favourites!

Thanks for watching! Congrats on the discount too. Will be doing a follow up vid with different strap types 👍🏻

@@TheLumeRoom soon please :)

That's about the price it should be. I love the look of this watch but it is not worth £250 than what I paid for my Save the Whale Turtle.

You chose well my friend 😉

Lookin to add a capt.willard next..any suggestions on what kind of capt.willard to get?

@@boqtheboneless Willard is a class act. I liked the blue one which I think is a ltd edition(?). You might even get a discount if you shop around

You can't go wrong with either of them to be fair. Let me know which you go for 👍🏻

If I can offer a thought, maybe to help make up your mind. While these Save the Ocean watches are not Limited Editions.. they are Special Editions and they don't produce for a very long time... so if you would like the Great White Edition, I would suggest picking that one up first, because that was the 2019 edition, which at some point you will have trouble finding. The Manta Ray edition is the 2020, so you are still good for maybe a year or two. While you can still find the 2018 edition with the lines from a whale, it is starting to become harder to get. I have the SRPD21 (Great White Shark with Turtle case) and it is pretty incredible. It might only be Hardlex instead of Sapphire... but keep in mind these are sports watches and, technically, hardlex/mineral is better against shattering than sapphire. Also, a detail many don't seem to catch with the SRPD21 is the bezel insert... did you notice that the bezel insert for the Turtle Great White Shark has grooves like a vinyl record? The markings are not printed, but etched/inlaid into the aluminium insert. It is hard to catch in the photos (especially the Seiko stock photos that really suck)... but the effect in sunlight is really unique, and it is actually pretty unique to that model (from what I have seen, please corect me if I am wrong). I was also in a little bit of a dilemna like you about these watches.. so I decided I would start my own Save the Ocean collection. It will take the time it needs to, I'm not wealthy by any stretch, but these are worth any effort or extra work to get.

@@TheLumeRoom Definitely ! 👍🏼

@@GODSPEEDseven I appreciate your opinion man, wise word comes from a wise man. I actually didn't realise the white shark was the 2019 model. I do notice the groove on the bezel and figured that it's a cool combination for the dial as well. Then, i actually got confused because of the different bezel colour from the 2019 & 2020 white shark model, and somehow i discovered this manta ray version and fell in love with it 😂 However, as you said, its pretty much hard to find that particular model around and i admit, i do get a little frustrated searching for it. I've seen the manta in person, man the dial alone just blows me away ! Now i need to see the shark in person to make up my mind. But despite the shark is really hard to find in store where i live just makes this process whole lot harder. I might opt for the manta in the end due to the availability of it 😂

@@muhammadasri765 😄 I wouldn't call myself wise, but that is a great compliment! Thank you. I was lucky, because one online retailer in my region had many of these special and limited editions. It can be a little confusing, because the Great White Shark edition comes in the Samurai, Monster and Turtle cases, but also the King version of Turtle and Samurai. So the king version as some minor differences, like cyclops and different bezel texture. I do not have the King, but the normal Great White Shark Turtle. It was a little cheaper too, so I was good with that. Anyways, whatever version you get, I am certain it is the right choice! 😎 They are pretty special dials and even the differences in color tones is interesting. I enjoy the fact there is variety for all tastes in these dials. At least, if you can pick it up near you, you have the advantage of seeing the dial and making certain everything is aligned perfectly to your standards, so that is always a wise choice as well!! Wisdom comes in many shapes and forms 🦈🌊🐢

Thanks for the support sir! I really need to check out the solar chrono too. Just love these designs and the upgraded materials for these watches make them some of the best releases yet!

I bought the great white turtle too. It seems a bit big. Do all the turtles wear the same or is it only that that's big?

Love the Save the Ocean series! The designs seem to get better and better 👍🏻

It's a cracking piece. Enjoy it when you get it 👍🏻

Sounds like you got a winner! Enjoy the watch.

Thanks for watching! Samurai is cool too. Well worth the money 👍🏻

I still wear and love this watch. Great choice!

@@TheLumeRoom amen brother I’m sure I’ll be saying the same 👍🏻💯

@@TheLumeRoom hey my friend arrived today just got done sizing and on the wrist . Couldn’t be happier. This dial is stunning 🤩

@@1968jpy Glad you like it. Dial is spectacular

The box is cool. STO series is my fave 😊

This is a great watch. Enjoy yours!

The dials are some of the best out there. I have the Great White too so will try to compare in the follow up video. Worth having both in the collection!

@@TheLumeRoom I agree 100%, Seiko do a lot of average work with dials but these are outstanding. I also love the red special dial but that watch is much more expensive. I own the turtle great white but am looking at the samurai Manta. Both case types wear so well.

Agreed, this blue is nicer than the new dark grey 👍🏻

Enjoy the watch, I love mine 😀

You need to get one! Those SFV watches look fantastic. I like the Ryu and Guile versions 👍🏻

Thank you! I must agree :)

Nice! These models are amazing. Perfect alignment is what we need 👍🏻

Thanks pal. Go for it, its an amazing piece!

Amen 🙏🏻

Haha, it's great bang-for-buck. Love this piece

Good choice, you'll love it!

Thank you. The Samurai is awesome too!

Fair points. I think the bezel is pretty good. Not the best, not the worst. I mostly just change the OEM bracelets straight away. Enjoy the watch 👍🏻

I love the bezel action on this model as well as other Seikos. I own a BB58, SMP300, and Aquis date which are all highly praised for their bezel action. I kinda prefer the Seiko bezel action that has a mechanical yet springy feel to it.

I'll need to look into that!

I say yes

Good job on getting a JDM! Enjoy it 👍🏻

@@TheLumeRoom I am in Asia, so it is easier to get my hands on those

I agree, I love the manta rays!

It's definitely a cool watch for sure

Well worth that! Enjoy the watch. It's amazing!

I think you're right. I'll put it on rubber in my full review video. Thanks for watching!

Both good but I bought this one...

Both

Thanks pal, I agree 👍

Has someone told you that you can't have that?

I don't think they make real Seiko's in China(?) Usually the JDM models are the most sought after. Always buy through a trusted seller

Both winners pal 👍🏻

Sorry to hear about your white Samurai. Honestly you won't be disappointed with these STO versions. They look tremendous!

The magnifier usually splits the room

I think it assists in making it a true Special Edition 👍🏻

I thought this was just the standard box (?)

@@TheLumeRoom I got the white standard Seiko box from amazon, Macy’s, and a very reputable guy from Chrono 24. All the same . Where did you order from?

@@Will-lf7of I got mine from a UK retailer

@@TheLumeRoom hm, wow they must just not do the boxes In the US then :(

Just a wrist check pal 😄

This one because the dial and bezel go perfectly. The 1st edition 'Great White' looked better than the "upgraded" versions.

@@TheLumeRoom the 1st edition? With hardlex crystal and no ceramic bezzel?

@@vipfragranceindonesia6472 even tho the first edition has no ceramic bezel insert, it's better because it is engraved. It also has no cyclops and no faketina.

You should return your misaligned model. I always do. Great watch this one.

Why did you buy it if you don't like cyclops?

The Prospex box is cool 😎

Bracelet only

@@TheLumeRoom that sucks lol

I got lucky and mine was perfect

Special Edition

Thank you

Haha, I never thought of that but good point! I own both watches so may do a JC cameo appearance for the full review 😜

I’m in the same boat, I have the JC and love the look of the Manta Ray but feel like if I had one on I’d feel like someone with a Porsche GT3 taking their Volkswagen GTI out for a spin: both motors outstanding in their own way but once you’ve had a taste of the power of the GT3 anything else feels subpower. Great videos really enjoy this channel

@@bnbn1869 Fair play my friend. Thanks for the support!

Special Edition (so not numbered)

Mine has English and French

Haha, you are forgiven 😋

Most Seiko bracelets are a second thought. To be fair the majority of people replace them, regardless

You get over the cyclops after a while. Just love this watch!

Not really
