Nice to see that people are still talking about these. I have the older SRPC35 model and it definitely gets a lot of wrist time. I must say the SBDY looks great too with the red dial text and second hand. Thanks for the video

My green mini turtle also had the gritty crown. But after about a dozen times setting the watch (I frequently rotate watches) it's super smooth. I put a MiLTAT bracelet on mine, which is definitely a step up. However their bracelets and clasps are usually full of sharp edges that I need to smoothen out. I've gotten pretty good at this using (finger) nail buffers with 400/6000 grit sides. They work great and are a fraction the cost of those Bergeon sticks.

Thanks for sharing. I was looking for an aftermarket bracelet as well, but couldn't find anything with female endlinks 😆.

Everything about this watch is great except for the gritty crown . I’ve experienced this with some of my Seiko’s and don’t know if you’ve ever tried using dental floss to clean the threading tube . It actually works very well. One thing I’ve noticed about gritty Seiko crowns is it only seems to be an issue with made in Japan Seiko’s.

Thanks for the tip! I'll make sure to give it a try.

Hey Andy, could you do a review of the smaller version of 5KX (SRPK29)? I am also in NZ and in the market for a dive watch for small wrist. 😀

@watchcrave 20 дней назад

Hi mate, I don't have that one unfortunately 😟. However, I reckon the SRPK29 will be a good fit if you're after a small dive watch. The build quality will be similar to the SSK003 that I reviewed. The other option would be the solar powered SNE573/575, which is also 38mm. If you have a small wrist, I recommend going for whichever version that comes with a bracelet. Seiko's rubber & nato straps tend to be extra long and big to accommodate the bigger wrist sizes.
