Which turtle? A poll.
I'm hankering after a Seiko turtle, and I'm curious what you think. Which of these, if any, should I get? Remember that I want to wear it with Nato straps in as many colours as possible!

Seiko Prospex SRPC44
Seiko Prospex SRPC25

Good grief, the man with a Reverso collection goes rogue!
Bjorn are you sure you have not been spending too much time in the Sun?
I have tried one on before, liked it, but didn’t buy. I did think though that they wear ok, even though the headline measurements make it seem it would be too big.
I have voted for the 25 - a bit of extra interest on the dial. You could still wear it with a wide range of NATO’s, as it would hardly matter if some didn’t really match.

On balance Turtle or 512 - I would stick with the 512 and put that on a NATO.....

No, I just like variety - spice of life and all that.

Went with the 25 as well. Just has more interest going on with the gradient dial and two-tone bezel.
Once you get it on a bright orange NATO you'll realise it's the right choice

Re: Which turtle? A poll.
The dial is actually a sunburst grey, which creates a nice contrast to the black bezel and gives it a certain something.Pipesmoker wrote:I went for 23 as well, black goes with any strap

Re: Which turtle? A poll.
I was/is considering the yellow gold plated one, for a more decadent/1980s/blingy look. But it is perhaps too much and the novelty would wear off rather quickly? Still, why not live a little and damn the torpedoes!

It’s the 23 for me. It’s a definite Nato magnet. Gonna go with anything.

Re: Which turtle? A poll.
I vote for 23 as well. Black will go with a lot more than the others.

23 and 25 jointly in the lead. Only one for gold. Not feeling very blingy, are we?
