Reply With QuoteCan't help with the sellers, but both of those are fun, handsome and capable watches!
Seiko are releasing a special edition PADI Turtle, ref SRPA21-K1. No word on if it's limited or standard production so far but it will retail at 430 euros.
They're also releasing the SUN065 at 630 euros...
The only thing I can't find is where to buy one!! Does anybody have any good sources for Seiko? I love the Pepsi Turtle and glad I waited now :-)

Ooooh, BSAC one for me please!
The watch looks fine I just don't get the Irish connection?
Nice, I quite like the first one. Looks like a great holiday watch to me. Shame they are too big for my scrawny wrists. 45 and 47.5mm respectively for anyone wondering.

Read this on one of the other watch forums, love the look of the Automatic, prices are reasonable, not sure what limited distribution will mean, will AD's get this watch?
I have the SRP777 and also scrawny wrists and I can confirm that it is one of the most comfortable watches I have. Although it has great width, the lug to lug is much shorter than a lot of other less wide watches and so it wears very well. And because it's wide there is a lot of flat metal to sit on your skin and so doesn't feel top heavy at all.Originally Posted by JNH
There's also a UK version

Good to know, thanks.
Really like the SRPA21. Reminds of a Seiko diver I had when I was a kid.
Nice.

Stunning. This I like more than the standard models.
From Basel today. Looks really nice. Great value compared to some of the other releases ;-).
Do we think these will be available through regular retail channels?
Just a guess but not in the UK, I suspect.
Definately one for my small collection of turtles!
looks 3D printy. Freaking minty. Nice! Nice! Nice!
This one is more appropriate for most of us!!
Hahaha! How very true!This one is more appropriate for most of us!!
Lovely, the only downside for me is although the watch is 44mm by the time you have taken into account the cushion case, the bezel and the tapered chapter ring. You are left with a pretty small dial, for my eyesight at least. Still like this watch very much though
Nice turtle. I have the SRP775 and is a very comfortable watch.
LolThis one is more appropriate for most of us!!
Made me smile.This one is more appropriate for most of us!!
Can you do a mock-up of a seadweller with "DUREX" on the dial? :)
Or on your head?
haha! Very appropriate.
Well....
Down there (60 ft dep or so) I have seen more Citizens and Seikos than any other watches.

No idea who they are but an asian co. is offering pre orders for these on Chrono24

What does Padi designate?
I'm on the fence about this one. Hmm. I'm not sure I dig the red and blue, but I think I could acquire a taste for it... seems to be happening a lot lately.
For release in Ireland only
Professional Association of Dive Instructors, as I recall, although I like the previous suggestion :)

indeed . an acquired taste wouldnt be a fan either . a bit too much going on
Anyone seen one 'in the shops' that' actually exists? Rather than the pre-order stuff that just relies on rehashed Seiko pr pics..
Cheers

Don't think it has been released anywhere yet.
Suspect the foums will be awash with pictures once it it's out there.
One of few IRL pics I've seen besides the Basel ones already in this thread,
I don't like blue-red combo.
Also I don't like different brush finish on the watch case and bracelet.
Possibly prices will be inflated as soon as first pieces hit the public.
It hasnt been released yet. I posted some Basel shots on the first page, there are some more
Shots from Basel around the web but the watch is behind glass and under a lamp.
Love it so far and am on the preorder list. I thought Q3 was the release.

I recall my dive instructor telling me it stood for Pay And Die Instantly
Was he a BSAC instructor?
Seems an odd way to sell PADI training
I have heard it a few times myself, though.

I was told it was Pay and Dive Immediately (by my Need Another Underwater Instructor Instructor)
"Put Another Dollar In"
Why oh why are people cr@pping all over Wayne's thread on watches with nonsense about dive instructors/agencies.
Seriously folks.
When you look long into an abyss, the abyss looks long into you.........
I spoke to Seiko and PADI a few weeks back, they expect release to be in August.Don't think it has been released anywhere yet.

Yeah, it's like all those people waffling on about Comex in Submariner threads!

Sorry, just a lighthearted josh aimed at the PADI sales culture.
PADI is a load of bollocks, mind.
How come there is no official UK Retailer/AD for Seiko SKX, and these dive watches??
Pre-order open at Jura now
