3 Reasons to Buy the King Turtle Right NOW (SRPE03)

[@kosmonument2682]

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.

[@the1010watchclub]

Awesome!

[@1968jpy]

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 🤩

[@1968jpy]

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.

[@joshn.5625]

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

[@nathanaeldean]

There is also a very cool turtle shell face version that I’m very interested in. Great time piece man. Just perfect.

[@the1010watchclub]

I'll have to check that out

[@davidcrandall4958]

I also like the Steel Dive Willard Homage with NH35,ceramic Bezel,Saphire crystal under 100.00 Dollars and the Citizen Pro Master around 250.00 Dollars!😊

[@wescobts]

A nice video. A day/date with the candybar is so helpful for us "older folks" It's a great watch.

[@matthewlawrence488]

Really like the sapphire crystal.... great price....bezel action....gold on the second hand!! Great seeing you Jonah!! 😊😊

[@the1010watchclub]

Thank you, you too 👍🏼

[@BrokeWatchFanatic]

I must have bought and sold at least 5 turtles and now I'm looking for another one lol. There's something about the turtle that always pulls me back into wanting one.

[@the1010watchclub]

They're special for sure

[@juniorsoutoo]

Good to see you again. Beautiful watch.

[@the1010watchclub]

I wore it again today!

[@daleclark3138]

I got a made in Japan SRPE39 for $387 delivered. First King Turtle. Nice upgrade over the original models from years ago. Nice review.

[@the1010watchclub]

That’s a great deal!

[@1968jpy]

Dale I just today received my SRPE39. This is one of the best and most beautiful dials I’ve ever seen on a watch .

[@ElderPinto254]

bracelets from mark are good you can trust his stuff... he knows what the people want and need...

[@DMD96]

Just got one, thank you for the video. I have laundry, one for a couple of years

[@ganck1147]

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.

[@adamski101]

Work waxed dental tape into the threads and the screwdown crown will be smooth and perfect.

[@the1010watchclub]

Great tip thank you

[@haping1]

Cool watch. To realy complete the package, they should added a signed crown as well...

[@jarydt1152]

I've ordered a Japanese made one today, can't wait

[@the1010watchclub]

Awesome, let me know how you like it!

[@jeffd3802]

Do you mean the kanji day wheel one? Otherwise their all made in Japan. Just the kanji day wheel one is made for the Japanese domestic market.

[@jarydt1152]

@@jeffd3802 nah all the king turtle model number ending in k are made in Malaysia and all ending in j are made in Japan, yes it has kanji and English

[@camarocarl7130]

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?

[@umaanalise]

Good work. Hugs from Brazil.

[@greatonreviews]

I just managed to get it on eBay for 220! What a STEAL!

[@the1010watchclub]

Great find

[@greatonreviews]

@@the1010watchclub indeed, it has become my daily wearer…. I absolutely love it. I would dare to say that is my favourite in my collection.

[@wize2140]

"Why do some of these watches feature hour hands in gold while others do not? Is there a specific reason for this variation?"

[@davidcrandall4958]

I like the SeikoPADI with Coke Bezel And the Seiko SRP777!

[@1968jpy]

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 .

[@the1010watchclub]

Interesting! Thanks for the tip

[@Moshikokotashima]

Bought two of them already, One for sibiling one for uncle and about to get one for myself.😂

[@the1010watchclub]

Love it. Make sure you all wear them at the same time!

[@donquique1]

Buy at macys when on sale.

[@stevepodraza6363]

Great vid! I love this version and do have it, which bracelet is that ?

[@the1010watchclub]

I believe it’s the oyster style from Long Island Watch

[@michelelisa1663]

hello from Italy, nice video! this Seiko is really nice🔥💪 I'm undecided between this and the basic one😔 ..what do you recommend? thank you!

[@the1010watchclub]

For me, the sapphire glass and bezel plus the dial design makes me prefer the king turtle over the basic turtle. Especially if you can find a good pre-owned one

[@ImperialGermania]

is it just me or why don't you put a little drop of oil on the crown screw if it's an issue, Great review!

[@shashankparamkusam]

I just ordered mine for 350$. It is my first Seiko!!

[@the1010watchclub]

Enjoy!

[@justindhitchcock1806]

I have the exact same watch I just got it three months ago it had to break in when I first got it it wasn’t winding very much but after I wore it for three months they broke in my question is how many seconds today is it off mine is only one second behind

[@the1010watchclub]

That's fantastic. Mine is running about -7/day on the timegrapher

[@lawrencefleischer1414]

Nice. What is your wrist size?

[@the1010watchclub]

7.25”

[@hitrandrei]

Just lubricate the crown threads.. 6309 OG turtle still the best.

[@MADTURK61372]

How did you get the srpe03j1 (one with the movement Japan)printed in the dial.Thanks

[@the1010watchclub]

It just happened to be the one I got on eBay, I wasn’t specifically looking for a J mode over the other model

[@tschoy9388]

I brought this three months ago. At ＨＫD 3400. Very good price. I wonder how Seiko made this low price watch with Ceramic Bezel ?

[@andrefigueiredo4805]

how is 500 plus dollars low price ? Chinese brands (that use seiko movements) have sub 150 dollar watches with cereamic bezels and zaphire cristal. 500 dollars is by no means low price

[@tschoy9388]

Yes, it is the Chinese version. Not make in Japan. @@andrefigueiredo4805

[@DaveDangerous74]

The watch is just a little too big.

[@the1010watchclub]

It'd definitely a big boy

[@atsylor5549]

What worries me about eBay is that I could end up paying $400 for a $100 knockoff. And unkess the Knick off is really really bad I’d have no idea until it gets serviced one day.

[@the1010watchclub]

I've bought three Seikos on eBay with no issues so far. The movement inside is also probably what a fake would use anyhow, so it's a pretty solid bet I think

[@atsylor5549]

@@the1010watchclub I’m sure you’re probably right. But I’ve been burned before by knockoffs so I guess I’m a little more on the paranoid side when it comes to counterfeits lol. And the higher the price the more I’ll obsess about it

[@georgecupac1202]

It's great except for the cyclops.

[@the1010watchclub]

It’s definitely divisive

[@andrefigueiredo4805]

I'm so torn between getting a king turtle or a turtle padi pepsi...Damn. Can't make up my mind !

[@the1010watchclub]

I would say the king turtle is a little more versatile because of its color, but the Pepsi padi is pretty awesome too. As I’m typing this, I’m realizing I won’t be of any help at all since I have both 😂

[@andrefigueiredo4805]

@@the1010watchclub 😂😂 I’m kind of considering getting both of them too honestly. Thank you for answering ! One more question: I’ve found a video here on KZbin 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]

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.

[@TheFlyrodder68]

Seiko's QC and movement regulation straight out of the box has been abysmal for years now, unfortunately. Cool designs but terrible QC and unwarranted price increase across the board.

[@Roger_Ramjet]

Nice review. I have the same model. Agree on that gritty winder...it just feels off.

[@kevinsalgado1656]

How’d you get it for that cheep it’s 700 dollars on he website?

[@gingercrop5855]

The malaysian made have quality issues!!
