Just took a fresh photo. Here is my trio of orange 7548's: '81 7548-700C, '82 7548-700C and '78 7548-700H (from left to right)

Happy Easter Seikoista's :-)

When first seeing this, it immediately struck me as the first shot of an SRP series "New Turtle" I've seen to look fully right to me. Then it was obvious about the hands. I think all the other of these I've seen shown are equipped with the SKX007/009 set of hands, as at:

http://seikousa.com/collections/prospex/SRP775

Though I think probably not, did the SRP775 you show to great effect happen to recently arrive from the factory with that, I think, "proper" set of hands?

I hope so as that looks perfect. If not, and yours is modded, I hope Seiko wakes up and starts doing it that way at the factory instead of just sticking the SKX hands in there for whatever reason

Great photography and watch and thanks for showing

When I first laid eyes on the SRP775 Turtle I was impressed with the standard "Seiko" divers hands you describe as SKX hands. They are very nice gold polished etc.

But It also reminded me if another recent Anniversary edition SBDX012 and it's lovely brushed gold Marinemaster hands. Unfortunately the SBDX is not wearable for me so...

...what I have created is my rendition of THAT look mixing best from both and tweaking the finish of the case and adding Sapphire crystal.

So the 'TurtleMaster 200' is born

Hi and please excuse my lack of vintage Seiko Diver knowledge and experience, but you are absolutely right. AFTER I POSTED THAT, I searched up the following to discover that apparently ALL the original 6309 Diver variations were made standard with the (what I called) "SKX" hands:

http://forums.watchuseek.com/f281/ho...de-140799.html

So I'll put it another way --- though I'm fine with the "SKX" hands on my SKX173, a favorite of mine, I think the MM hands you modded your cushion case SRP775 to make the design look aesthetically perfect and perfectly congruent with the case design to me. They also remind me of the earliest vintage Seiko divers like the "62MAS", the 6215 and the earlier unshrouded version of the 6159 (the first MM, I think), and, apparently, the earlier versions of the revered 6105, which I think I was thinking about when I wrote what I did.

Anyway, your SRP775 looks great to me as you've redone it and I much prefer the look compared to the standard factory SRP775. Thanks also for explaining how you modded it that way. Rollon

Your welcome... no need to excuse yourself... I have no vintage knowledge to speak of... plenty around here do though if you need assistance :-)

It's a shame those aren't the hands Seiko decided to use; they look great!

Just picked this one up, and love it!

SBBN015 is the perfect Tuna for me, especially once fitted with a sapphire crystal.

Excellent, thanks for sharing, nice on a strap. In many ways that is the perfect watch.

That particular Grand Seiko and similar SARB both look very good on a Nomos cordovan strap.

Look beyond the scratch on the crystal (hopefully easily remedied), and what you have here is one of my favourite vintage pieces.

[reefer110]

Swapped this over to a NATO recently, wears much more comfortable than the rubber it came with...

[martinzx]

How about a Vintage LM from 1977

Very nice, I like those. The case on that one is particularly nice. So many of the bracelets are damaged beyond use or missing.

My one and only Seiko..

My 40th birthday present. I bought this last year from Seiya when they came out and squirrelled it away without wearing it until my birthday on Sunday. I have wanted a MM300 for years and I'm very happy to be wearing one at last

Weird but nice!

I'm yet to own an Orange Seiko, but I will. Missed a lovely orange Sumo on SC the other day

I've never fallen in love with the black or blue dial Sumo, but the orange dial Sumo is very appealing (to me)...

This wonderful 25 year old 7T59 arrived this morning and I'm thrilled to bits with it. It's the 4th one of these I've had over the years and it's in such fantastic condition that it wont be going anywhere.
