SEIKO SRPE 93 TURTLE REVIEW

Hey Watch Peeps! In the video I take a closer look at the SEIKO SRPE93 TURTLE. This watch may be the best diver in the Seiko line up OR ever! Just a perfect bog legible diver that wears very well on all wrists due to it's short lug to lug distance. It's a great dive watch. What do you think? Please consider liking and SUBSCRIBING and remember ......never stop WINDING CROWNS!

[@christopherjohnson4276]

One of the all time classics. In my opinion it's now a much better value than the SKX. Thanks for the review!

[@WINDINGCROWNS]

Thank you Sir. I do agree with you 100% It is a much much better value now.

[@robertgale3064]

Great review! I’ve been diving with my 777 for years. Never misses a beat and never leaks. Definitely the best dive watch for the money.

[@WINDINGCROWNS]

I agree wholeheartedly. Perfect dive watch. Perfect watch period. Does everything and more. The small lug to lug makes it comfy and wearable on most wrists.

[@WATCHingJames]

You can never have too many seikos. Very nice.

[@WINDINGCROWNS]

Absolutely right James. 😂

[@NickNick-id8sb]

It's also about the lume next to the date window at 3 o'clock. It's part of the new instructions in order to get ISO certified. That's why they changed the reference number. Anyway a Turtle is a Turtle. It will always be one of SEIKO 's best offers.

[@WINDINGCROWNS]

Absolutely. I did a short review of the King Turtle grenade dial. Great watch. It has the lume plot at 3 o'clock. You're correct about the new ISO certification. 👍

[@metalworx4765]

I have 6 turtle watches, this one has to be the best as far as chapter ring alignment, lume and accuracy. The two king turtles I own have problems with accuracy with the 4r36 movement. This one has not lost any time after two weeks on the wrist, it is an MIJ model.

[@WINDINGCROWNS]

6 turtles?!! Wow that's great. Love the turtles. Glad to hear this very model is serving you well. Thank you very much for watching.

[@leonidaslantz5249]

I honestly think the MIJ models are better.All my Seiko watches made in Japan are COSC accurate and those that are not are 12-20 sec/day slow.

[@metalworx4765]

@@leonidaslantz5249 The King Turtles do are available from Japan I think, not sure though. The models I purchased were from Seiko USA from my local jeweler in Los Angeles area, the look great cosmetically, but the time drift is a bummer. And sending something to Seiko in New Jersey is risky with all the postal chaos and stuff disappearing. I may regulate the watch myself using timegrapher.

[@watchsixto]

Seiko SRP777 to me love this watch definitely worth it IMO 👌

[@WINDINGCROWNS]

Its definitely a great dive watch. Thanks for watching.

[@dontbelieveeverythingyouth8173]

That's not the new model. The new one has a lume pip at 3 o'clock, this was done to conform to the latest ISO standards for dive watches. This is indeed a factory Frankenstein consisting of old dial and new case back, possibly new case size of 45mm and mineral glass as opposed to the 777 44.5mm.

[@WINDINGCROWNS]

I know that the SRPE 93 is the newer version of the 777. Both have no lume plot at 3. I am curious. Please send me a link. I want to check it out! Thanks. I would like to review one. Btw are you referring to the latest release of the newest Cpt. Willard with the date window between 4 and 5 o clock? That watch has a lume pip at 3 o clock BUT that design is not considered a turtle. Those are the willard cases. They are their own thing and sell as different watches. The willard are way more money. Here is my buddy Rob showcasing the new Willard. The previous older Willard had 3 o clock date window. Both versions of the willard have 20mm lug width. All Turtles have 22mm lug width spacing. kzbin.info/www/bejne/gouocqGXeJp-rbs

[@dontbelieveeverythingyouth8173]

@@WINDINGCROWNS I'm referring to the SRPE93 which is the upgraded 777. I'm wearing it. I bought it today. SRP777 was discontinued due to updated ISO standards which requires a lume pip at 3 o'clock. As I said there are factory Frankensteins, they are genuine Seiko watches, yet they are not in line with ISO update, which is the entire purpose of the new models. If you search for SRP777 Vs SRPE93 You will find many detailed threads with picture comparisons and discussions on this topic.

[@WINDINGCROWNS]

@@dontbelieveeverythingyouth8173 okay. I I knew the part number had changed and the model number. It doesnt say air diver. But I want to check one out with the lume at 3.

[@WINDINGCROWNS]

@@dontbelieveeverythingyouth8173 I finally found something about it. Just one thing in Watchuseek. I can't believe not 1 single person owns/reviewed one on YT yet. They must not be very many out in the market place yet. I would like one though.

[@dontbelieveeverythingyouth8173]

@@WINDINGCROWNS I am a huge seikopath, mostly for marine masters of which I own a few. I have always wanted a Turtle but held out knowing that they were upgrading to the newer version because I wanted mineral glass instead of hardlex given that I would have modified a 777 to sapphire. The finishing has been somewhat refined as well, much nicer brushing. The indicies also have a more noticeable and detailed polished border which gives the dial a more premium look but it's nothing like the indicies of the high end Seikos, though it is a nice touch.

[@TopQ42863]

I'm really liking that 4oclock crown nice touch that makes it look very different.

[@WINDINGCROWNS]

Indeed. Love the 4 o'clock crown.

i have the srp777 version and one of the lug holes is oversized and even the fat spring bars have a little play in that particular hole. I couldn't see it right on yours but it seems like yours has one hole bigger than others. Could you check that out ?

[@WINDINGCROWNS]

It shouldn't have that issue but I have heard of this before. Kinda common from what I've heard.

[@fakenewsisthenews3542]

So, this is like the Seiko King Turtle with the grenade dial, but this is a flat/plain dial and no magnifier instead. Is that correct?

[@WINDINGCROWNS]

Also doesn't have the sapphire crystal. I am thinking of getting the King Samurai
