Possibly my favourite turtle dial that one! Nice pick up.
Nice balanced collection as well!
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.

Thanks, yes I'm loving the dial, gorgeous shade of blue and nice wave texture.
Forgot to mention, I got 12% off at Goldsmiths with this code:

Very nice.
Great collection think you have a watch for all occasions.
Lovely watch and a cracking collection!
The code still works so £378.40 for the OP's watch:

I like that Seiko a lot. I know there are a lot of Turtle variants now, and some aren't all that lovely, but Seiko have hit the mark with that blue dial. That one and the green-dialed Hulk-a-like are two I'd really enjoy wearing!
That really is gorgeous! I've recently received the Dawn Grey version from sales corner and it's not been off my wrist since. I think Seiko have nailed it with these two variants.
The dial is very nice, thanks for bringing it to my attention

FWIW records don't have concentric grooves, they only have one groove on each side.

Dial is very nice but 45 mm too big for me
I like the dial, cracking colour. Not sure on the hour hand or it being 45 mm. Massive improvement on the PADI diver though thanks for the review.
That Seiko is a stunner, what a great little (well considered) collection you have there sir, a pleasant change to see Oris featuring in someones SOTC & I've always been a fan of Stowa.
Hi
Code still working just ordered will be delivered Tomorrow.

I think the Turtle's are fantastic value watches. I've been wearing my one on holiday for the past week and for most people they're as much as you ever need in a watch. That good.
Question - how is the bracelet on these? Otherwise nice SOTC :)
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.
The bracelet is okay, not great but I wasn't expecting it to be. It's perfectly fine for a watch this price. I've had a few turtles but I've usually taken the bracelet straight off and worn it on a nato. This time I decided to keep it on the bracelet, it wasn't too hard to size, maybe a little fiddly as it has the pin and collar system.
I wore it all day yesterday and I found it really comfortable.
