REVIEW: Seiko Mini Turtle SRPC039 with measurements and lime shot

In this review, I show my latest purchase from Gnomon Watches; the blue Seiko Turtle SRPC039. This is known as the "Baby Turtle" but as you'll see, it's a watch that stands out on its own, and is not just a mini version of the "Turtle".
Want to buy one. Check out the following Gnomon watches links...

Black: goo.gl/fegqmC
Black on bracelet: goo.gl/oRyWND

Superbly designed watch. Love the cute round cyclops ! Yours is probably the most comprehensive review of this watch that I've come across.

[@WatchHobbyist]

Glad it was of use, thanks

[@kagamioshiro7388]

I love that watch,, i owned that now i used every day

[@veetour]

The cyclops is very useful. I think it adds a charm to the watch.

You prolly dont give a shit but if you're bored like me during the covid times then you can stream pretty much all of the latest movies and series on InstaFlixxer. I've been binge watching with my gf for the last weeks :)

[@daxtonraiden2503]

@Jakob Joshua yea, I have been using InstaFlixxer for months myself :D

[@publiusvelocitor4668]

Very well presented. I love the whole Prospex series- they are tough, reliable, and a great value! The mini Turtle is a great size... some of the bigger Prospex look ridiculous on me, but 42.3mm is good.

[@Bugster987]

These are great watches. I recently bought the PADI version. Really happy with it. One of the biggest surprises was the strap (its blue and would look good on this watch). Really comfy and nothing like the similar looking SKX straps

[@johnnybgood7812]

I just bought the PADI Pepsi dial for£259 from Ernest Jones in UK.

[@dutzumiho9449]

So glad you are making videos again. Cheers!

[@WatchHobbyist]

Haha thanks. Loads more in the works. Daytona, all sorts

[@ALAPINO]

The opening sequence would have benefited from the lume being energized a bit. ;)

[@WatchHobbyist]

I’m getting there. Points taken on board 👍

[@Barnaby_bo]

I just got the black version on the bracelet in the UK for 235 pounds, thats about 280 dollars brand new. Theres some really good deals going atm. There was also 2 limited edition Zimbe mini turtle editions SRPC17 and SRPC19. Stunning watches. I personally don't think it should be called the mini turtle. I think it looks much more like the Sumo, but even having said that I think it should be given it's own name. A couple of observations. You won't get your camera to quickly focus on the required area if youv got a busy background. The camera will always be snapping between the foreground and the background. Make a plain dark background like a bed sheet. Also some closeups would be good on the dial and especially (if it's a Seiko diver) the case. Other than that a nice flowing review. 👍

[@WatchHobbyist]

Thanks Barnaby for your advice. Great price you got there!

[@simoncrawford350]

I think you should let the misses sun bake whilst you go diving🤔👍 (only fair & you are avoiding skin cancer🤔😉👍) Great review & not a bad watch! Cheers 🍻

[@Trex100]

See you in a few hours honey, I’ve got some horological work to do.

[@leegovier7311]

Great Review as always 👍🏼

[@WatchHobbyist]

Cheers Lee, much appreciated

[@eviola11]

Are you planning to do a state of your collection? Thanks.

[@stever7097]

You can buy them from Yorkshire Watches

[@panchoskywalker]

What's the bezel width?

[@Naftaliheilbron]

I want to know too

[@21asds]

Did you have to pay any import fee when buying this watch from Gnomon?

[@kwingy11]

I too want to know this - based in UK as well.

[@bobfrombrisbane1831]

Hi, did you like any 2018 Baselworld releases ?

[@WatchHobbyist]

It was a bit of a mixed bag Bob. Nothing too exciting... some micro brand stuff but the only popular model I really like is the Tudor GMT, and hopefully I'll get a chance at a Rolex Pepsi at some point. Next year I expect Omega will be interesting with Bond and Space editions.

[@Star_Sn1per]

"Lime shot" hahaha i think you meant Lume :)

[@WatchHobbyist]

Damn auto correct :-D

[@mohamadlokmandaimon3582]

Nice watch. ⌚ I'm getting mini turtle yellow LE; arriving soon. SRPD19K. 😎

[@WatchHobbyist]

Did you receive it? Looks awesome

[@mohamadlokmandaimon3582]

@@WatchHobbyist Yes I got it. 😁 kzbin.info/www/bejne/p5SxZ56Mfdpsl9k

[@먹지짜게]

시계 이쁘네

[@Etswe]

It´s not Mini except for the lug to lug measurement. 43 mm lug to lug is almost unheard of for a diver.

[@lowersaxon]

He didn‘t turn the bezel even once! Obviously it doesn‘t turn that well.

[@OperationNonsense]

Man I never thought you would start to review low quality uninteresting watches ☹️

[@WatchHobbyist]

It’s more about diversity. I buy the watches myself and I don’t mind if they’re £3 or £3000, but don’t worry, plenty of premium reviews coming... gold Daytona next

[@WuBloodKin09]

What’s interesting is a comment from a low quality unknown viewer with no videos or reviews...don’t like his content, start your own channel which I’m 1,000% sure you will never do, moron!

[@Trex100]

Thou art a douchebag!

[@kma86]

Snob!
