Seiko divers are a gateway drug into more Seiko divers. They killed it with the dial (I love the markers, too. SUPER unique). Really digging all the rounded/circular themes in this.

Great watch!! Seiko is really stepping it up on some great watches. The Bezel. I have a made in 1997, Sport 200 Kinetic. It still runs very strong and accurate. This bezel is a definite nod back to that model. The cuts on the side don't go quite as deep as the kinetic, BUT.... Styling from THAT watch for sure. It looks great! I have too many watches. I can't believe I just said that.

@4:00 - it’s not a good practice to change the date during the jump window. Best to set the time to 6 o’clock and then use the quick date feature to avoid potential damage. I got the JDM version of this watch from a dealer via Chrono24 and it arrived DOA - hacking did not function and when placed at particular angle the watch would stop as evidenced by the seconds hand stopping - and yes, it was near fully charged - wound and worn for several days as a daily driver. Looks great though and small lug height - great larger watch for medium wrist. It’s at the SEIKO center in NJ hopefully getting fixed and covered by the warranty.

I was waiting to get a look at this mini turtle as I was holding off on getting the regular SRP777. After seeing a previous video on the mini I went ahead and got the standard version (777) and I’m glad I did. The more I look at the mini the more I don’t like it. What I realize is that if you want a turtle you really want that classic cushion case look and crown tucked away at 4 ... the mini has a poor representation of these key features which I believe really make the turtle what it is.

The blue bezel / blue dial version should have come with the blue rubber strap. I think the PADI would look better on a black rubber strap. I hate the cyclops and I wish the crown was recessed into the case. It sticks out too much and ruins the compactness design of the case.
