New Seiko turtle arrival (Great White Shark) and quick SOTC
I've had a few Seiko turtles in the past and I wasn't planning on buying another but the new Save The Ocean (Great White Shark) SRPD21K1 looked too good to resist.
This turtle has a beautiful metallic dial with wave pattern and an upgraded bezel with etched numbers and concentric grooves and looks a bit like a record.
The second hand on this model is also different than the one on the other turtles with shark fin at one end, there's also a shark fin at 8 o'clock on the dial! The hands are brushed too.
I'm really pleased with this one, the bezel and crown action feels a step above the other turtles, even the alinement is good!
The watch looks better than in my pictures, it really is stunning.
I was looking for a not too expensive watch with a bit of colour to complete my 6 watch box and for the first time I like all of them!
2 divers, 2 pilot watches a chrono and a marine watch that I'll also use as a dress watch.
I'm not saying I'm done but I am for a while I think.

Actually some records do have concentric grooves.

P.S. Loving that turtle! If I didn’t have a PADI already, I’d be buying this.
