The Seiko Turtle is definitely retro-cool! But is the price increase over the iconic SKX worth it? Watch this video to find out and see how it works for you.

That was a great review probably the best I've seen on you tube. You deserve more subs. No fancy studio or feather gloves, just detail. Good job

Hi Barnaby Bourbon, That is such a nice thing to say. Thank you so much for the kind words. I truly appreciate it. I will do my best to provide more content that benefits everyone out there. Thank you for watching! -Jon Rihtar

I’ve got an original 6309, dated March 1980. I have to send it to seiko since it’s been sitting in a drawer for 20 years. But I look forward to rocking it with a nato strap in my business casual setting.

Turtle is the sweet spot for Seiko divers. Its got everything you need at a fair price.

@watchspec 5 лет назад

Hi mr bacchus, You are quite right. It is a lot of watch for the money, including the upgraded movement with hacking and hand-winding. I love my Turtle! Thanks for watching, -Jon Rihtar

@michaelcabiles7716 4 года назад

great review! simple, clear, and most specially, straight from the heart!

@larvancioramos9748 5 лет назад

Cheers on both. I consider this Seiko more than a dress one, really beautiful. As you well mendioned the gold accents, the metalic dial gives a particular bright in the sun light. The bracelet match perfect, no other strap needed.

@garyshepherd9226 4 года назад

Love my one too! The bracelet has a diving extension by the way - the extra clasp opens out a further amount so it can be fitted over a wetsuit.

@snippy8362 4 года назад

great review and nice choice amongst a virtual sea of options. the gilt dial and bezel combo look superb in your video. i have the pepsi bezel version and will surely be tempted by the gilt version now. lock down isn't exactly helpful when one is trying to keep a collection to a minimum. thanks for the great content and keep them coming jon. if you can get your hands on the new limited edition red line/black mm300 that would be very cool. you would be the perfect guy to do that review. it's a superb piece in the flesh.

Another terrific video Jon, this turtle is my next diver. I have read about the turtle and apparently is one of the SKX ancestors, SEIKO brought it back a few years ago and it sold very well; I won’t be surprised if they stop SKX production and leave the turtle as the replacement - after all the turtle has everything that the SKX lacks. I will be wearing my 009 until I get my SRPA21 PADI edition. Cheers and man I’ll keep sharing your videos, good quality, to the point, well edited, good content, you definitely need more subscribers.

@watchspec 5 лет назад

Hey Danny, Thank you so much for the kind words and for sharing my content. That means a lot. You're right that the Turtle has everything that the SKX lacks, but I have to admit that I'll be sad the day they stop production on the SKX. Nice choice on the PADI. I love those red accents added to give that sporty feel. Thanks again, -Jon Rihtar

Very cool watch, very cool design and a nice retro style!

@ModernRegimen 4 года назад

Such a gorgeous watch... killer overview, as always!

@watchspec 4 года назад

Thanks man!

@sorearm 4 года назад

It looks a lot of watch, I was going to get a SKX (now they're discontinued) but one of my friends put me onto this. I've got large arms/wrist so this would suit perfectly, it's going for £550 in the UK but with interest free buying it's on my to-buy list in a month or two, this review has definitely sold me! Thank you!

@roaddogg800 5 лет назад

I stumbled upon this SRP775 by accident tonight while browsing at a major retailer. Couldn't believe the clearance price of $180 plus tax... $196 out the door. Craziness! What an awesome piece! I had no intention of buying another dive watch, but couldn't pass this up. Great video!

@watchspec 5 лет назад

Hey Timothy, That price is insane! You paid 50% of what I paid about two years ago. Congrats on the deal. Also, can you ever have too many dive watches??? Haha. Thanks for watching and thanks for the compliment. -Jon Rihtar

@danny.norato 5 лет назад

Does that retailer have a website? I’ll get one myself

@roaddogg800 5 лет назад

@@danny.norato I actually purchased it directly over the counter at a JCPenney store in Las Cruces New Mexico. That model isn't going to be carried much longer because they're only going to carry the one with the black strap in the future, thus the discount

@danny.norato 5 лет назад

Timothy Shelsea wow terrific deal congrats my man! If you ever stumble upon another early Christmas like that let me know haha, here in Canada we never get those deals ;(

@roaddogg800 5 лет назад

@@danny.norato it just happened to be a lucky chain of events that that particular watch was in the clearance case.

@a_single_white_female 5 лет назад

Great video! We need to get you some better vermouth though my man! Try Cocchi di Torino or Carpano Antica.

@watchspec 5 лет назад

Thank you! You're right - I have nice selection of most liquors but I admit that my vermouth choice is weak. I will definitely check out those suggestions; thanks for that. And thanks for watching. -Jon Rihtar

@Vow247 5 лет назад

Watching this while wearing my SRP775. I just wish now that Seiko would release an affordable 6105 reissue with a 4R35 movement.

@watchspec 5 лет назад

Hi Matt, I'm wearing this turtle on a grey NATO strap as I type this response - what a coincidence. Add sapphire to your reissue and that is a killer diver! Thanks for watching. -Jon Rihtar

@MrGazgoyle 5 лет назад

Fantastic review. On future reviews could you include lug width and lug to lug measurements, very important for viewers considering if watch size is suitable for themselves.

@watchspec 5 лет назад

Thanks MrGazgoyle. You're right... I do have this detail shown in my written review but I should include it in all my videos as well as part of the basic dimensions. Thanks for the feedback, and thanks for watching! -Jon Rihtar

@jackpurcell274 5 лет назад

Loved the video

@watchspec 5 лет назад

Thanks Jack. I appreciate the kind words.

@jackpurcell274 5 лет назад

I love the 775, I've had it a couple of months now, And I barely ever wear my 009 anymore. As you mentioned the bracelet is far superior to the 009, I threw that bracelet in a box in 2 days. I do notice it is a bit heavy, but I'm getting used to that .

@watchspec 5 лет назад

Jack, I know what you mean. With wearing my 775 every day for 2 weeks straight leading up to my video, I fell in love with it all over again. Now I don't want to take it off. I do still love my SKX009 though. Such different feels between the two. Thanks for the comment. -Jon Rihtar

@khairishuhaimi3907 Год назад

Hey john, i have same watch as this. My question, why it doesn't have any "Japan-made" word on the dial? Instead it has only serial number?

@jaimevidar4617 3 года назад

👍👍👍 This piece is lit

@blackcatsarenopussies 5 лет назад

Nice. Is it Japan made?

@m1yuuu_combatseawolf 4 года назад

Is it me or there's a yellow dial version of the skx that is pretty rare

@keesketsers5866 5 лет назад

Everyone calls this an oyster bracelet....it's not. It is an exact copy of the Omega Speedmaster bracelet, hence the polished parts.

@watchspec 5 лет назад

Hi kees ketsers, It is not a true oyster bracelet; you're right about that. A true oyster does not have the polished trim or such rounded edges. But it does follow the oyster style. I'm not sure there is a better term to explain it. And the Speedmaster and Turtle are just two of many watches that apply this exact styling, so I can't name it after one specific watch. But thanks for the constructive comment. It's good for people to know this is not a true oyster so they know what they're getting when they order it. Thanks for watching. -Jon Rihtar
