Two very nice watches. I actually have multiples of both. Both are great. The Turtle costs less, I would say is a better value. There are both K1 and J1 versions. I have seen K1 versions new for under $300. The SBDC053 has the 6r15, sapphire, better finishing, and all are “Made in Japan”. This would be the most affordable. The PADI costs more with the Bracelet model (SBDC051) the most expensive. Also the SBDC051 Bracelet is much better then the Turtle’s Braclet. Both of these look completely different, it might come down to which you like better. Look wise, both of these are knockouts.
Seiko, "you never know what you will get", that's the sad part especially if you buy online. My 053 is very accurate but my Shogun not at all. I need to get it looked at somewhere. Agree the 053 is something you can just look at and admire. Love the way the dial and bezel play with the light. Also the stock 053 strap is of a 'silicone' type hence why it is so soft and comfy.
Both are great. I finally have a Turtle coming back into the collection in a few days. Miss having one. Nice vid!

Could u so a review of the Uncle Seiko tropic ?
tynan nida I have. Check my other videos
May not be a fair comparison as the SBDC053 costs about twice the turtle. The turtle is nice too but the 053 is a better made watch in many ways.
I have a srp777 got it for $250 a worthy upgrade from the skx.
Good choice
I love the Turtle but i think the case is somewhat large
I prefer the turtle. Better reinterpretartion imo.
Me too. The srp777 is sexy as hell...
