Seiko 6309 Turtle Review at Curracloe Beach, Co. Wexford | Seiko Turtle | Best Vintage Seiko / Watch
This morning, I visited one of my favourite places on earth, the Raven Forest at Curracloe Beach. Curracloe beach was the site used for the filming of the Saving Private Ryan opening scene depicting the Normandy landings, in this case on Omaha Beach. This all happened during World War 2 (WW2)
I take a look at one of my favourite watches, the Seiko 6309 Turtle. Also known as the 3rd Diver and discuss some of the features to look for when trying to ascertain of a watch you are looking at is in original condition.
I also discuss a brilliant watch maker in Ireland by the name of Mark Wilkes @markwilkes.ie is his Instagram handle

    Two things worth fixing: the “3”is smaller than the other numbers. The second hand is on the small dial, yet, the tick marks for the large sweep second hand remain on the outside edge of the dial. No reason for them to be there. I own a d am presently wearing the NavyPioneer with the large second hand. It os a better looking version. The lugs which hold the spring pins for the strap are 22 mm not 20 mm, if you put a 20 mm strap on it, there is sideways play, and you will pop a pin. Also I bent these lugs, which are attached to the case, and had to get it repaired. Now I have a 22mm NATO strap on it and all is well, but it was not set up well when I bought it. It keeps good time and is sealed from humidity so does not fog up when sailing, which killed my Tissot. Summary: get the large second hand, toss their strap. Then-it is a great watch.

    JD are the OGs of Swiss Watches. Watchmaking started in 1600s (ofcourse larger ones) when the huguennots fled to the jura mountains from the french king. they settled in there and brought the know how for mechanical machines. la chaux de fonds and le locle where the starting points of swiss watches history. in the 60s they left for the bilingual city biel/ bienne from wich this region never economically recovered. JD are still up there mastering their heritage of skills ams creating stuff ahead of all the went to geneva, bienne and so on. JD also produced entertainment machines for royals before electricity was invented. with a JD you can really distinguish yourself but they are expensive.

    I agree plus the 6R movement in the new Willard is not as proven or accurate as the 4R movement. Had to regulate my 6R as the Seiko factory in china could not be bothered. Once I opened the case I observed "Case Made IN CHINA" on the inside case back. Buyer beware.

    i have an srp777 only to scratch my ich of wanting a willard. I did end up falling in love with it, but if i had the money, i would most certainly get the spb151. I live in brazil, and due to import taxes, it is ridiculously expensive. It gets to around 11k reais = 2.075,00 dolars >:(

    I was lucky enough to get the 41mm silver dial at retail. It is an amazingly pretty watch. The sunburst dial in combination with the 18k yellow gold hands and markers pop really hard in sun light.

  • @007Chancellor

    Ahhhhh it's good. BUT..... Steinhart has made a special edition of their Ocean 39 GMT for OLKO. It is a near perfect copy of the Rolex 1655 - but better! The 1655 had an acrylic crystal, a GMT hand that was not independently settable, and a pressed metal clasp rather than milled. Steinhart updates all of that and it is an AMAZING watch. And all of this for about $550 USD!

  • @matthewfriend2230
    @matthewfriend2230 Рік тому

    In my opinion the turtle wins hands down! The new slim turtle or Willard is going to be a Shelfer! A sitter, a non moving item, compared to the turtle! Just way over priced. If Seiko lowers it to 600-700.00, then it’s a deal, other than that, I’m sticking with the turtle! Matt

    • @denist7085
      @denist7085 Рік тому

      I agree. The value of W is square shaped dial, slim hands and step out part on the shape near crown. All that make me as owner of SRPE93 and Padi version (subjectively) ready for 700 +/- for black dial W version, but not 1K. For that would be better stretch to higher model range. Or two pieces of SBDC 😂

  • @pas0003
    @pas0003 Рік тому

    Excellent review! Steinhart is fantastic value, although I had to send mine back twice. Once because it was running increasingly slow (-40 spd) and next time, because the bezel broke and started rotating both ways with a gritty/tough feel. Steinhart customer support was fantastic and sent me a new watch since they aren't able to repair bezels. Steinhart is built pretty well for the price, although the bezel does not inspire confidence in me any more. The Tudor bracelet and finishing is on another level however. Is it worth 6-7 times as much? Probably not. I would be happy to pay 3-4 times for it as compared to Steinhart, the test is just the brand name.
