I've been watching multiple reviews for this watch. Just to let you know, I've decided to pull the trigger and ordered one after watching your review. Your review made me feel this is the one for me. Thanks man 👍🏼
haha, that's not good! :))) Joking, enjoy it man!
I’ve had my SRPE39J1 Manta Ray turtle 🐢 now about a month. Absolutely love this watch . It’s amazing 🤩
This is my favorite dial on Seiko Diver.. I just got one, even it's still better in real than in the video. You've got to see it in real, on your own wrist.. it's amazing 👍
I fell in love with the dial. When out in bright sunny day, dial looks like actually loking at waves in ocean. Beautiful!
Not probably, it's for sure! Handsome watch with a wonderful wrist presence. Well done!
Love the Save The Ocean editions. This is one of the most beautiful ones. The turtle is always a love hate design, but it sits perfect on the wrist. Thanks for the review.
Excellent review, so good in fact you were instrumental in me deciding to purchase this example. Along with the blue strap from 7 friends. I could not be more content. This is a fun watch with a bold splash of color that can be worn daily with no worry about the occasional scratch or ding. Since this watch is a few years old one cannot simply walk into a seiko boutique and try it on. That's where your HD videos, common sense commentary, and sense of style are helpful. After 10-15 minutes on Ebay, I found a retailer willing to part with one for less than full price, and I couldn't be more satisfied. This is the two year old car you found at the back of the lot with the outrageous paint job that makes you smile whenever you drive it. When it gets the first inevitable door ding, you do not mind, because you know this car was bought for fun. Thank you for your high production value in your video's. I realize that it takes time and expense to offer the public quality content. Keep going, we appreciate your efforts and opinions. Kudos-
I have never liked how the Turtle, Capt. Willard or Bulova Devil Diver have looked on my wrist. It kills me because they are all such beautiful watches. I actually purchased a Seiko Mod watch with this dial in a Submariner type case. I know I would not wear this turtle or like it on my wrist and yet I see this review and I want to buy it anyway!
Kyle Salisbury that’s how I feel about the Seiko Samurai. I love the watch and the design and how it looks until I try one on and then I’m not feeling it and can’t see myself buying one .
this is my 1st automatic watch, love it and still wearing till today. even thought got few watches but still will wear it once a while. definitely a keeper
It’s definitely a beautiful watch owing in part to the well designed dial face. Even though I much prefer a high contrast dial for maximum legibility, I can still admire this watch and the price is also reasonable. Thank you for an excellent video review! 🥃
Had the Manta Rey for 1 year, very nice but too less wristtime. Nice to see this again. Get going 🚀
My favorite youtuber reviewing my favorite watch brand …. 🍿 time 😜
Have several older Turtles. Love the dial and upgrades on this one. Ordered one yesterday for $387. Great review.
I ordered this exact watch last monday and am waiting for it to arrive. This video is making me even more excited to recieve it!
I know the feeling :) congrats!
@@ph69jbl Thank you :)
Just got it today, it’s unreal in person.
I completely agree - King Turtles and especially Save the ocean editions definitely deserve more love. Thank you for the review!
Great review 👍 & Beautiful watch. Love the Turtles
I like both with this beautiful Dial. So I bought them both. 😊
Another great production brother. I love the dial on this one!

I bought this "special edition" model about a year ago, and I love it. When I bought my Turtle, I bought the Seiko "Navy" blue rubber strap...didn't like it. Saw your video and ordered the 7 Friends & Watches strap...and now...the watch is perfect! Thank you!
I am glad you enjoy it! The color of the strap.really matches the dial tone.
@@BraveBeaters 100% agree and the quality is well worth the price. I will be buying from them again. Thanks again brother!
mine arrives in 4 days! Can't wait!
Great watch, comfortable and fun to wear. Changing straps can allow the watch to be sporty or dressed.
I have both of the King Turtle Manta's and enjoy them very much, nice review.
❤️
Just picked up the Seiko Samurai SRPF79K1 with similar manta ray dial for under 400€/$400 brand new. Beautiful dial and great bang for a buck Seiko.
I have owned this version of the manta ray turtle for almost 2 yrs & still love it. In fact i love this particular dial so much that i bought a samurai with the same dial. Love them both & will never part with them.
Love my King Turtle PADI😍
New subscriber here.. I own this exact piece and your videos managed to invade my recommended.. here I am! Awesome video! Happy to be here
Welcome aboard Peter! I am glad you enjoy the content AND I am glad you like this Turtle, great piece!
I went with the classic Turtle, the SRPE93. I prefer the aluminum insert and mineral glass because I was after for classic 6309 look. Picked it up for $350, and for that money I don't think I'd be able to source components to build one myself.
Big for my 6.5 hands❤😊
Awesome content you got here!
Gorgeous. Hard to decide between this and the new PADI turtle with gradient blue surface water texture.
I do really enjoy that dial.
Great review, as usual!
Thank you! :)
Seiko for real knows how to design their dials.
I have this watch for 6 months now.its a keeper.love the dial so much,it's a permanent in my collection. Of course it has a minor misalignment, it's a seiko ffs.
I have most of modern seiko divers,love the willard,the samurai,the 62 Mas,but this one is my favorite.
Haha good one with the missalignment, but it's true :)
The Turtles are my favorite watches. Love the iconic case shape that feels soooo confortable on the wrist. I have owned several models between SRP777, Ninjas, Padis and my current model is a King Turtle with the black wafel dial. What could be upgraded: the movement (mine looses almost 1 minut per week and the day changing is as slow as a real turtle).
Picking a pre owned one up today. Only wish the crystal wouldn’t lay below the bezel edge. Might mod it with a top hat crystal some day
I've got the green grenade, love it, t nis is very cool.
What exact blue is the band? The one the link takes me to looks much darker than the band depicted in your video. Thanks in advance, and I have a new Turtle Manta Ray on order!
amazing video
I can’t believe they don’t have swimming sea turtles on these turtle watches. I’d love that.
It is. Mine is running -2 seconds after 3 days.
I just purchased this watch this morning new for $385, should be here in a few days
Probably the most comfortable watch around
very chic cassanova. thank you for the 411
May i ask you where you got the Navy blue rubber tropic strap?
Just wearing my STO Great white Shark, the SRPD21K1. It’s def. a strap monster, I wear it on the bracelet, a blue rubber a cognac vintage style leather….
And honestly I really prefer the aluminium insert with its texture over the ceramic. And the lack of the magnifier- thank God, it doesn‘t have one 😏. For this I can easily swallow it‘s only Hardlex
Yes it’s a great dial 👍
Hi, quick question: the quick release springbars provided with ur 7F&W rubber strap ar thick enough for the turtle?? Are they clicky??
i have the Samurai version, bcs i like the look and “date only” more than the turtle :) killer watch!
This but in a 42ish mm case would have been great. You dont really have much choice if you look for a medium sized diver. Ofc you have the SPB 317 but that's around 1000$. There is a need for a 500$ Seiko diver with maybe a turtle case but in 40-42mm, something like the SKX used to be. I know there is the mini turtle but that is discontinued and quite tricky to find.
Is bezel black or dark blue?
I love it, but still feel a bit intimidated by the size for my 6.5 inch wrist.
Had one, loved it. Great value - sold it when I got my Willard - the date on that is small enough to ignore & blends into the dial looking like a normal 3 o'clock index. Just wish Seiko would release versions with & without that heinous complication - it wouldn't cost any more to produce (maybe even less) & I'm certain they'd sell more! It'd just be nice to have the choice. Cheers mate 👍🏻👍🏻
Cheer Steve, the willard date is very well blended between the indexes.
I don't mind a date (in fact it's a useful feature), but day and date AND a cyclops is a big aesthetic no no for me. Other than that, it's a stunning watch, and I love those mana rays.
I bought the Seiko Samurai version 👍
That one is cool as well :)
Yamas my friend subscribed
That's about $999 Australian. And it's an amazing watch.
Would this be ok for a 20mm wrist?
For sure! :)
@@BraveBeaters multumesc frumos!
Hello. I saw that I had won some watches. They wrote me a comment on UA-cam. Could you confirm this?
i just bring one to day on
2024
Again, looking at the chapter ring it appears to be misaligned to the right of twelve. Why oh why don't they sort their QC issues out!?
Things like this ruin an otherwise great video. Sorry my friend, but once I see an alignment issue it's all I can see regardless of how good/informative the review is.
I've got the Samurai Dark Manta on a white tropic strap and it's a killer, it works perfectly on my 18.5cm wrist.
Suprisingly she is even more accurate rather than my COSC and META watches, with +0,2s/day.
Incredible value for the price.
First! :)
The better option would be the older versions of this turtle... For 240usd you get the same watch minus the sapphire and ceramic bezel insert I love my SRPC13 anthracite turtle.
the anthracite turtle is amazing! I always wanted to own one so I can mod it :D
@@BraveBeaters it's my favorite dial color I also have the SNXS79 and SPB143... I've seen someone put coin edged bezel on their Turtles and jubilee bracelets to refine the toolish look.
the only thing I don't like about that watch is the cyclops.
How about the best value diver under $500 eh?
without daydate?
