The Turtle has waded ashore - a review of the Seiko SRPA21

As it's unofficially known as the Turtle (or officially the SRPA21), I guess it does not land like an eagle But here it is - an entry level diver from Seiko in collaboration with PADI (Professional Association of Diving Instructors for us desk divers). Bo...  

Great review

Hi Thanks for the review- really like the blue dial. But I I'm a bit of a sucker for them. Unlike you I also like the reverse lollipop on the seconds hand - same a a Seiko 5. Just really lets you know the thing is running while it's dark. How does it wear... 

45 sounded big to me, too...

But the cushion shape and the short lugs make it wear smaller than my 42mm Chopard LUC Chrono One Do try it, it\'s definitely smaller than you think Thanks for your heads up - glad you liked the review!

And here is a lume shot...

To demonstrate the Turtle can see in the dark ...  

Was still readable at 6 am - admittedly not very bright anymore

But then I only charged it with the iPhone light for a minute You will most likely not regret getting one IMHO.

Zimbe

It has sapphire and a sort-of square date magnifier. An orange seconds hand. It comes on a brushed/satin finished steel bracelet. An other kind of finish as the common Turtle. Also in the box is a grey rubber strap, nice quality. Far better quality than f... 

Thanks a lot Seamaster2254!

So a Thai LE model then. Available outside of Thailand, too? Feel free to post more pictures

Some are able to import a couple of Zimbe watches. I was a Lucky one. This are all the pictures i made. ...  

Thank you for those!

Would really appreciate your impressions once you\'ve had it for a while

I'm thinking the same thing :)

Glad you liked the review! Will post something on it regularly, as I do with the others Let us know if you take the plunge!

Wrist size...

Awesome review! Thank you. May I ask what size your wrist is? I have a 6.3" wrist and quite concerned that the turtle might be too big. Cheers!

Thanks a lot - glad you liked it :)

As for wrist size, just under 6,9 inches - hope that helps. Always best to try it on first to see how it sits on your wrist.
