Seiko SRPF77 Dark Manta Turtle - Watch Review

[@harveytrevino2257]

I 100% agree that this dial is one of the prettiest executed dials I’ve seen. I knew I had to have either this one or the Dark Samurai (SRPF79). So, I told the wife about both models, and I told her to choose one she preferred for my birthday (June 21). She chose the Samurai, and once I saw it in person, I was blown away.

[@longobardialfonso8376]

I've had the same one for two months... and it's simply fantastic 😍

[@zachary4225]

Can’t wait for mine to arrive. It’s a beautiful watch I must say!

[@LamarFaciane]

I hadn't been able to settle on a diver for the last eight years, I managed to find one NOS for less than $300 and it lines up!!!! This thing is dope!

[@AffordableWristTime]

You won’t be disappointed!

[@earlbee3196]

I just got the king, samurai, save the ocean dark manta, That turtle looks awesome .

[@nathanwabre]

I love mine so much! 😍 Despise the chapter ring and bezel misalignment… classic Seiko

[@lmadigan1971]

Got mine.yesterday Nice watch just make make it thinner and lighter and have the alignment right with the chapter ring and the cyclops

[@johnnybegood9005]

"Seiko for some reason does not like to throw sapphire crystals on the dive watches". 4:01 There is a reason for this. Legend says: in general, mineral crystals are less brittle than sapphire and thus preferred for practical dive watched. Sapphire crystals are more resistant to scratches and thus more desired for non-diver watches. In real life, I would go for a sapphire crystal any time.

[@dustycups]

In practice, at the thickness of the crystal on these watches, there’s little difference in brittleness between the two. Seiko use mineral crystal on some watches because it’s an effective way to differentiate their product lines.

[@djapojunior]

It looks really good, both the specs and the look have been upgraded! Even like the candy bar magnifier. 👏

[@AffordableWristTime]

I wasn’t a fan of the magnifier at first, but it’s growing on me!

[@mmartinez3619]

Is the magnifier also sapphire?

[@wed265]

@@mmartinez3619 yes it is

[@watchesgadgetsandstuff]

I am waiting on my Trutle Dark Manta Ray and honesty.. I can't wait... it should be here tomorrow! I watched your video quite a few times in the past few days while waiting 🤣

[@AffordableWristTime]

This should tell you something: I’ve bought and sold like 30-40 watches since I got this one. This one has stuck around and will stick around. It may be my favorite modern Seiko and top 2-3 Seiko ever.

[@mahdi-ev9ye]

how do you like it im considering buying it

[@Leveleup543]

Thank you for the review. Found this piece for $330. Couldn’t say no at that price

[@roycedayton5364]

Good work!! Great watch for that price!!

[@denist7085]

Thank you for nice presentation. This particular version looks great. Still awailable new, but rarely. Thinking now to add it to my collection. And let Samurai on rubber strap go. 😊

[@AffordableWristTime]

To me, this is better than the samurai!

[@fabiocantarelli9925]

Hi, can I ask for information? Why are there 2 types of boxes with this watch? A simpler one like this one in the video, and a more elaborate black save the ocean one? A thousand thanks

[@rajeshthakkar2612]

EXCELLENT DEMO AND PRESENTATION....GREAT REVIEW.......KEEP IT UP DEAR

[@T.Q.]

From Seiko: ."The dial of this special edition timepiece represents the view of the ocean as seen by the 5m deep vision of the Manta Ray endangered species. Its colours echo the gradations of sunlight refraction and the patterns symbolise waves seen from under the sea."

[@rolandcarlile9568]

Very nice watch,that dial is great in the light with it changing.

[@sulmanshah]

Great review. Thank you so much!

[@AffordableWristTime]

Glad to help!

[@tmicecream]

Thank you for NICE review!　It was well understood that this watch shows various beautiful expressions depending on the amount of light. I bought this watch in Japan. Thanks.

[@yamyamers9906]

I just bought one of this, cant wait to see...hopefully i like it as much as my samurai

[@AffordableWristTime]

I actually like it more than my samurai!

[@AffordableWristTime]

Good to hear!

[@wed265]

I had the Dark Mantaray in Samurai and now turtle and to me the turtle is much more beautiful than the samurai. The reviewer also thinks the same

[@VladimirPrsic]

Great review man! Btw, I like that bracelet. Where did you get it? 👍

[@adityapatel8701]

I personally found the samurai not big. It is just perfect for me, though I have a smaller wrist. Maybe because I am used to my G shock😅

[@AffordableWristTime]

G shocks will do that 😛

[@juansole8918]

Hey, great video! Can u make one showing the watch with the strap code bracelet?

[@wed265]

Great review. That watch is beautiful but you should try the king 🐢 green one. I tried them both on and to me the green one is just unbelievable. I actually like the other green Seiko king turtle band better. And that grenade dial just blows me away. See if you can review that one my friend. Ray

[@lemanzi]

Does this watch have same case with other turtle series srp773-775 etc ?

[@wed265]

Great video my friend. I just bought this I absolutely love it also. I had the same watch but only in Samurai and sent it back. To me there's just something much nicer about the turtle dark manta ray version. What do you think. And I have a 7 1/2 inch wrist so it looks really great on my wrist. Ray

[@dazzarazza6708]

Nice review....but no mention of the movement.....

[@denisdrga6709]

Hey! Thanks for the video. What is your wrist size?

[@carlphil450]

He said in video about 6.5-6.75 inch, I have a 7 inch wrist and the watch doesn’t look big to me.

Hi sir. I have a question about what is difference to SRPF77k1 and SRPF77. Thx so much

[@T.Q.]

None whatsoever.

[@scottmichels2260]

O believe One is made in Japan and the k1 is made elsewhere in asia.

[@dustycups]

@@scottmichels2260 Both K1 and J1 are made in Malaysia.

[@tk423b]

Think they were going for a moonlit night ocean

[@AffordableWristTime]

I Can see that!

[@kingxerxes3139]

Nice watch, but I must say, this isn’t a king turtle. Besides that, lovely watch and hope you enjoy wearing it!

[@AffordableWristTime]

How isnt it a king turtle?

[@kingxerxes3139]

@@AffordableWristTime the king turtle has a waffled dial. My comment was not to attack you, only to call out the difference 🙂 about the mantra watch what you have. I think that I also am going to buy one. I have the Sumo hulk, and really like the Prospex line of Seiko.

[@AffordableWristTime]

No worries. I Don’t feel attacked 😊 but I actually think you’re wrong. The waffled dial one is one of the King Turtles. The King Turtle line has different ones (including this one) and the major difference is the cyclops and sapphire crystal.

[@chrizgoo]

@@AffordableWristTime I think you are right and it also has the ceramic bezel

[@udinsalam4751]

Wait, why is it written SAB? Shouldn't it SAT? Is it arabic?

[@AffordableWristTime]

The date wheels come in two languages. This is Spanish and English. Sab is for sábado.

[@earlbee3196]

The dial even match your shirt 😂

[@udinsalam4751]

I really want this, but my wallet doesn't

[@sbsb4995]

as usual, seiko again cut corners. nothing new. the chaptering at 6 o'clock is mis-aligned. rubbish work by Seiko. Citizen makes much better watches seiko.
