    I have the green grenade. Just got it today. It's fantastic. I've seen divers for 3 grand and up that this one stacks up with. It has saved me a ton of money.

    I just to received my SRPE39 King Manta Ray turtle 🐢. I own the Padi Turtle as well but these new King Turtles 🐢 with sapphire crystal and ceramic bezel are amazing 🤩

    This is definitely an amazing 🤩 seiko diver . I’ve tried this watch on before at a local jeweler. I also tried on the King Seiko Manta Ray turtle on bracelet. That dial was beyond amazing.

    Thread some waxed dental floss (it needs to be waxed) around the crown stem and it should resolve the grainy issue you were describing.

    I think the grit your feeling when screwing the crown back in is the manual wind feature. The SKX doesn't feature manual wind so it would feel smoother. I just bought this watch today and it feels like my other manual wind, screw down crowns.

    I love the turtle. Have the one with the blue manta ray dial. Love that dial so much that i bought a samurai with the same manta ray dial. Unscrewing the crown on my turtle feels smooth & lubricated. My samurai on the other hand feels rough to unscrew initially but is getting better after a couple of screwing & unscrewing.

    Try using dental floss on the threading of your watch . The threads could be dirty. I’ve done this on a few of my watches and definitely improved when screwing in the crown .

    I always lube my divers crown/gasket with Silcon 7 high vacuum pressure watch case sealant. That will smooth out the threads or try cleaning with a q tip and then waxed dental floss between the threads. Esslinger has the Silcon 7. Great looking watch, BTW have you put it on a timegrapher yet?

      One more question: I’ve found a video here on UA-cam that compares the 21k1 with the newer version 91k1 that says the last has a slightly darker blue dial compared to the older model (yours) it’s the only person I’ve seen saying this and in pictures I can’t really see it , but this guy compares the two and says : look it’s darker . Do you know anything about it ?

    • @the1010watchclub
      @the1010watchclub  Рік тому

      I don’t have any hands-on experience with the other model, but mine is definitely satisfyingly dark blue. The “ray“ when it catches the sun is pretty light, so maybe there’s more of a contrast, but I would definitely call it a dark blue dial.
