I agree with you. I hope you are still enjoying your watch!

congrats buddy welcome to the club:). Hope you have as much enjoyment as I do with mine.

Enjoy. It has done well for me over the years. Definitely turn me onto the seiko brand.

That is amazing. What strap are you using and do you swap them? Only reason I am asking is because I go back between the nato and a SS bracelet.

@@StyleAndStrap That was the bracelet version.Only when I swimm I swap to the rubber band ! EIther way it wears very comfortable on the wrist ! :)

I love my turtle. Still going strong after all these years. I don’t even baby it.

You sir have great tastes in watches:). Yeah I recently got the OEM bracelet for it and I have a hard time taking this thing off my wrist

Mine is 4 years strong and it is still running like day one. I do need to get it service soon. It has never been service.

Glad to see a diver using it for how it’s meant to be used. Keep up with the adventures. Thanks for the comments.

that is awesome. I never heard of anyone doing that. Is there a picture of it online you can share?

I only did it as an experiment and thankfully it turned out fine. Forget Cape Cod polishing cloth. Just use a bit of Autosol and a cotton rag. Works well on Seiko Turtles because of that cushion case. Just try not to get the polish into the bezel and the clasp mechanism. Give me ur email, I will send u a pic. It started off as a tool watch but looks like a dress watch now.

Good to know...I was worried with my 6.6 wrist that it would be too big.

I got the SRP779, superb watch.

@@Martrex296I'm a little biased for the 779 myself one of my favorites !!

I can see that. I wear mine a lot so there is history to it. Every scratch tells a story. Also, since the watch is stainless steel and not ceramic, it will patina nicely as it age.

That is a good deal. You are right I completely forgot about that version. It is a good looking dial.

I don’t have that model but I can relate. When I was younger I thought Rolexes with cyclops were ugly. Now I understand why they exist 😂

Well said!

Mine is still ticking and I have no service it after all these years.

No problem. I hope you enjoy it. It is a real daily beater for sure.

@@StyleAndStrap you're right, it's an amazing watch and my new daily beater (and also the best watch I've ever owned haha) - just put it on a French Nationale navy para strap, looks mint!

Thanks! I always find reviews more helpful if the reviewer actually uses it:).

congrats bro! It is a slippery slope. Soon you will be drooling over Grand Seiko and thinking of ways to save up enough to buy one:).

@@StyleAndStrap this might as well be the "new skx".

You are absolutely correct. They came out with so many more variations after launch. I am surprised everytime I see a new variation. They even have "mini" turtles now:). Thank you for watching the video.

I always go back to my 777. It’s my go to a lot of times. The drill solar quartz is a nice move. It’s like the best of both worlds. I do want to save up and try to get a spring drive. It’s such a unique and advanced tech for mechanical watches.

C Cooper that is true. I completely forgot about that.

that is awesome. How hard was it to switch the bezel. I've been thinking about doing it with mine.

@@StyleAndStrap Not hard at all. If you have a thin blade (like a Swiss Army knife) you can wedge it in between the bottom of the bezel and case. I find it’s easiest to do around the 4:00 position. Also, to learn from my mistakes, tape off the case with masking tape in case the knife slips to avoid any scratches. I have photos on IG at @mistaniskaswrist

As a marine, I can agree im on deployment with my seiko srpe93 and I love jt

It*

Real men that Work Hard wear Casio G-Shocks

Hahaha semen

Thank you. This watch should last us a lifetime.

I know there are misalignment issues but I find that Japanese brand tend to have a better track record when it comes to QC.

I am glad you were able to return. Yeah it is definitely a great watch. Mine is pretty accurate and I pretty rough with this watch.

Same thing with mine

Wow that is impression. I have more expensive watches too and this is one of my favorite that gets a good use in my rotation. Something nice about having an unbreakable watch.

very good points on why it is better than the skx. Misaligned chapter ring gives it character and makes it unique and special. No one falls in love with perfection:).

Why do you need to shoot down one thing to pump up another? Why can't the Turtle and the 007 both be good? Such binary thinking! Free your mind and the rest will follow.

Thank you. Really appreciate the comment.

That is good to hear. I got lucky with mine too.

Welcome to the club!

It just gives you peace of mind knowing that it is screw down.

@nmfl100 When you said underwater, was it scuba diving? Just curious

wow -28c and it still works. You are definitely more adventurous than me. This is my most worn watch as well because I don't have to worry about breaking it:).

Style and Strap I'm not adventurous, it's just bloody cold here in winter and it did get down to -43 a few years ago. I really can't believe how I keep coming back to this watch and seeing how wonderful it is. I get lots of comments and as you said, it's tough and touch wood still no scratches. Still wear my heaters for the gym and the real nasty jobs. Thinking about a Ceramic bezel as the only mod.

I am waiting for a ceramic hour bezel so I can use it as a poor man gmt for when I travel:).

Agreed. Thanks for the feedback. Been looking into audio recording and testing a few things. Hopefully the next video will have better audio quality.

Agreed. I have not posted a video in awhile because I have been researching microphone for future videos.

I am not a fan of the hour hand on the Samurai. I think it is a great watch. That short stubby hour hand bugs the crap out of me.

That is pretty cool that you are a PI.

Yeah the audio sucks. I have an external mic on the camera too. I’ll start doing voiceovers during editing to make it sound better. Thanks for the feedback!

Thank you!

Thanks I think so too. It has been years and I still wear this watch in my rotation.

I don’t remember where but the style is a French marine nationale strap. I believe its history dates back to ww2. That is the style and the original used is the green with yellow strip. You can google it and just buy from any reputable website.

That’s where I got mine. Always a good deal if you wait for the right time.

Glad you liked it!

that's shocking. Wow. I don't have a Rolex but my Tudor keeps pretty accurate time.

@@StyleAndStrap how accurate? Rolex is only 4 to six times the cost to manufacture. Factory production items.

@@vicg5323 so its been two months on the Tudor 58 silver and it is 30secs behind. I synced the time to the second against my smart phone 2 months ago. I plan on doing a 3 month review on the watch soon and posting it. It is a good watch. I agreed with you on the price difference.

That’s a very special version. Cherish that thing.

thanks!

I had the choice and I picked this srp777 over the skx007. Ultimately, you follow your heart. But the srp777 is a newer watch with a better movement. It is larger. If you have a smaller wrist, the skx007 may fit better. The srp777 is a remake of a classic. The skx007 has been discontinued, and may be a classic itself in a decade or two. On paper the srp777 is superior and was made to be since it is in a higher class than the skx007. Is it better for you? Only you can answer that question.

I love G-Shocks but I feel my wrist is too small for one. I have been thinking about getting the old school square g-shocks because of my small wrist size.

The watch survived without any issues. I always rinse it off when taking it into sea water or things like that. TBH my GoPro had residue of silicate in the seals when dried but the watch had no issues.

I got it from Kohl's of all places. Got it for around $185. You can always find a deal on these if you shop around. Happy Thanksgiving btw:). Good luck finding it.

i agree. I need to buy a mic to record these videos.

when i bought the watch it was around $220 USD. With inflation it is current going for $350-450.. crazy.

6.5 inches

That and I have a small wrist:)

LOL yeah.. I was so busy filming and switching straps that I did not even realized that. Good eye sir!

About +/- 10 seconds a day according to people on the forums. Last time I timed mine was under 5secs a day slower.

Style and Strap many thanks!

Your welcome. Thanks for watching. Hopefully you are liking what you are seeing to like it and/or subscribe:).

Had mine for about nine months. It seems to be about +6 sec per day.

1 min slow a week or approx -8.5 secs a day. I have a JDM model ..That’s lying flat on counter overnight and I wind it manually in am and pm. Love this watch wear it on a crafter blue rubber strap... it is my summer 2018 everyday use watch.

Every 3 years according to Seiko. www.seikowatches.com/us-en/customerservice/faq/mechanical-4

Once every 22-25 years. Same with Orient watches.. All built like a tank.

Its from Watch Gecko. You can do a search for them. They are based in the UK so shipping is slower but the quality is pretty good for around $30. It is not stiff at all like some of the other nato.

@@StyleAndStrap thankyou, and great video. I've had my SRP777 for just over a month and i'm yet to take it off! 😀👍

This is true!

Yeah things tend to be cheaper in the US because they get ship in bulk to us since we buy so much

I agreed. I have been looking for a smaller Seiko Diver in recent months. Maybe something 40 mm or 41 mm.

@@StyleAndStrap but as always one should always wear what you enjoy.

@@WoodshavenPatriot good advice.

It can be very similar to a car. Both have gears and are mechanical. Long term review is useful because a lot of times we buy watches on impulse. I am guilty of it and then find that once the honeymoon phases wears off I rarely wear it again. This review was to provide my thoughts after wearing it for over a year. Honeymoon phase has not wore off and I think that is good for others to know.

I assume you’re not a watch guy...🙄
