When you get to my age, that cyclops magnifier is really useful! Good video. Thanks.

[@SuperHeliboy]

Just got mine this week and loving it so far. The Cyclopes comes in handy at my age.

[@wellgeo223]

The black one is definitely my favorite. Received my JDM one a week ago... it has perfect alignment and is running -2 seconds a day. It's my first turtle and I am thoroughly impressed with the watch. My Omega SMP hasn't seen any wrist time since this one came in.

[@FT4Freedom]

This is epic. A Seiko that follows the value proposition. "Wide-screen" magnifier. Grenade dial.

[@MikeOBrien1945]

Knocked off the cyclops with a torch, replaced the green strap with a black one, and replaced the silver keeper with a black rubber one. Perfect now.

[@darengarza]

I just visited Mimo today while I’m working in California! I’ve had my eye on this watch, will be buying this one soon as my first automatic watch!

[@algorithm007ify]

Best Turtle ever

[@blueshirtbuddah1665]

Great video Rob. I have the blue dial King Seiko just like you and I love it. I put mine on a Strap Code jubilee bracelet and it looks fantastic. I’m very happy with my purchase.

[@speedzero7478]

Insanely cool. Seiko really doing better recently

[@EscapementWatch]

Love the KINGS! I gotta get one! hoping for maybe the new save the ocean when it comes out

[@saleendriver]

Very good video. I like the Royal Oak-like face of the King Turtle. I even like the olive green.

[@varanid9]

I wasn't a big turtle fan until I got the one with the anthracite dial. I got it to use the dial in another Seiko, but, it grew on my and is now one of my favorite watches. It now sports the ceramic bezel insert from my King Turtle and a domed, beveled sapphire crystal from my SBDC053. An Uncle Seiko chocolate bar strap perfectly tops it off. BTW, I had the cyclops from my King Turtle removed.

[@alexanderstevens145]

How did you remove it? I can’t stand them

[@evh4611]

I love everything about this watch

[@Jackkyloi2110]

Me too

[@Jaycelestra]

I have the anthracite and was surprised at how comfortable and beautiful it is. Love it a lot 🥰

[@jefferyneu3915]

I love it. I am at the age where the cyclops is a goodthing!

[@WINDINGCROWNS]

Really great looking turtle.

[@stew911]

just pulled the pin I mean trigger on the seiko grenade

[@MARVELMARK300]

Love it!!! I need this! also from plymouth uk same as that postcard in the backround! 🍻

[@wendyandgeoffpattison2610]

These look great on a J style bracelet and mesh bracelet. Adds a little bling, which may not suit some. My 2c worth.

[@67NewEngland]

-If they made this exact spec watch in a 42mm it would be legendary.

[@leath25]

I've got the black dial with bracelet, I had to change the bracelet as it was too heavy on wrist for a rubber strap,now it's really comfy on wrist and the right weight.

[@MXP250]

I love rubber straps. Not a bracelet fan.

[@joseandrade8811]

At least on camera, I like this green dial.

[@vicentvanmole]

Nice to see the dial change. But wish they do it for the case as well for a better match symmetry

[@scottsj4625]

Seiko seems to have issues with their bezels not lining up. Even on much more expensive divers.

[@dicklarge1901]

I love the dial it’s kinda like the omega skyfall limited edition. I want to get the black king turtle JDM model.

[@philhartley833]

More like Audemars Piguet Royal Oak green dial 🤷‍♂️ the number markers are like the omega though

[@a1iks]

Would love to match that grenade dial with a rubber aquanaut style strap in the same green color!

[@Rob954ever]

I have the black dial version. Love this watch!

[@denniscrowley8517]

I dig it! Got one coming in two days.

[@mja1691]

Ta for the vids rob. That’s a stunna.

[@jeffestrada6857]

Thank you!

[@Jpjc474]

I’m waiting for the new SPB153 I think it’ll cost around £800 though. I saw this one in the shop the other day and it looked awesome. I’m also saving for the SPB121 I’m going to be speaking a lot of cash on Seiko this year (all things being well and all)

[@jackseddie]

Is there any real differences between the Japan model and the others? Are they better in any way? I know they cost more but why?

[@Scott-xe5tz]

Love it.

[@dakotaw10]

Hey Rob! Nice video. Have a question that you may be able to help me out with. I’m looking at purchasing one of these watches but came across some, like yours, that say Japan at the bottom, and others without Japan written on the bottom of the dial. Is one real vs fake? Or are some just made in Japan and others made elsewhere? Thank you!

[@RandomRobReviews]

Not 100% sure. I know not long after supply issues out of China area from the big sick, Seiko took production back to Japan. So maybe it’s just depending on build date.

[@P0werCore]

Which one is better? Made in Japan or the other from China“? Is there any difference? Cheers! Great review 👍

[@TheLumeRoom]

Great review. Have you seen the Manta Ray dial version?😍

[@misterman1371]

Too cool

[@hairulrajiun7592]

Hello.what do you think of this watch on are 8.5 inch wrist?will it be too big?

[@throwingdartsandbreakinghearts]

Seikonaut

[@dvirshany]

Everything about that watch is cool, but the cyclops is redundant...

[@varanid9]

Yeah, that's the main reason I flipped mine; a cyclops is not only way too 'fancy' a feature on a tool watch like the turtle, but, I personally don't think anything called 'cyclops' should be rectangular. I suppose I could have just had it removed, though. But, a cyclops on top of the cool waffle dial was a bit much.

[@maxp5422]

I like the cyclops helps my ageing eyes

[@MBrown-ct5zn]

I removed the cyclops on mine. It's just horrible and large.

[@akinshoga8285]

How did you do it?

[@ryanthomas9306]

I just tried this on, the rubber is some of the softest rubber I’ve felt. Rubber for Hamilton and crafter are not nearly as nice

[@John-iu1pd]

Don't get the Cyclops as an "upgrade" it's really better to try and take attention away from the day display. Trust me mod to black day disc is the number 1 mod you can do to any seiko diver. Thanks Rob love your vids

[@carlphil450]

Go for the Sapphire Crystal King Turtle

[@michaelhargis7036]

A white bezel would make that green dial POP. Awesome looking watch.

[@geoffboyd2895]

Unreal the crown is unsigned at this level of seiko

[@vjsseafoodmountgravatt9568]

Dreaming. You’ve got to basically go to sla level for that mate.

[@Doty6String]

How do these compare to the blue? In the metal?

[@theeliyeeet7015]

Nice video

[@josephchiarello11]

do you like Helson"s turtle?

[@am8119]

Can you make video how to remove cyclops without heating ?

[@DirkWerning]

Not first but cool vid

[@crazy-88s]

I wanted a green watch nearly bought the green street series baby Tuna , but then saw this . Does anyone know if the colour is the same?

[@jimkennedy2339]

Any AR coating?

[@martinzhao7193]

Is the king turtle a iso diver watch?

[@marcusdorn501]

Yes

[@TheCdM1981]

To me the grenade green one is the one that everyone ended up wanting. The blue? No. Either solid black with the grenade pattern or the grenade green. And people aren’t calling it king turtle. That’s the official name.

[@jacktits2836]

Comon man that cyclops window is assume i have 2 king turtles a man needs many time pieces date no date GMT and so forth

[@GalaxysGreatestDad]

I have the same one. Here is how it looks on a Strapcode Angus Jubilee. imgur.com/a/0ZHcFF4

[@billmurphy893]

Lyndon Durgan It looks good. I’m a bit disappointed with my Anthracite turtle on the Crafter Blue rubber strap after modding it with a coo edge bezel and sapphire bezel insert I am still looking....for the right bracelet/strap. As far as rubber straps the Seiko version looks better and is weigh more comfortable than Crafter Blue.

[@navyvet05]

I love everything about that watch except the shape. I dont dig that turtle look very much, ugly and awkward.

[@thejuanderboy5139]

First?
