[@theguardian3431]

Brotha that voice is so cool it can stop global warming!

[@karimdelakarim]

Smooth init.

[@watchvideosreview]

Ha! Love it, thanks 😂😊

[@redsox7897]

he sounds like Tom Brokaw

[@chrismendiondo]

A combination of Tom Brokaw and Harry Shearer! Beautiful city...thank you for sharing.

[@pcling5643]

The yellow is beautiful. Love it.

[@kma86]

Malaysian here! 1. Love the soothing voice, reminds me of late night radio 2. Really appreciate you showing some love for the Minis when most Seiko fans dismiss them mostly for the cyclops and the 3 o' clock crown.

[@LonnieLawless]

I simply have to purchase one of these, green preferably but the yellow one is awesome as well. The Zimbie 12 will be my second purchase.

[@kurtiss3227]

I know I've heard this voice before LA radio station maybe so relaxing so nice could listen to you all day.

[@TheLumeRoom]

With a voice like that - whatever you're selling... I'm buying!

[@kelvinlee8919]

What a beautiful dial!

[@zcharg0]

WHAT a watch! Wow! Congrats and Enjoy it!

[@joeesparza6108]

Got to say I love them both! Seiko does make it hard to choose!

[@watchvideosreview]

Agreed! It’s a tough choice, cheers thanks for watching😊🙏

[@jwags24]

All I can think about is how frustrating it will be when these come misaligned. Great looking watches ! Love the textured dials.

[@NiroshanGunaratne]

Mate, you can start a watch radio channel with your awsome voice.

[@ednammansfield8553]

These mini turtles are amazing, I really like them. Pity though they don't do them at 40mm as most watch companies are going that way now to accomodate for smaller wrist sizes. If at 40mm I would definately try and get one. Perhaps Seiko will do more diver watches in the future at 40mm, hope so anyway.

[@TheBoldHairspring]

The Zimbe collection is awesome. I've reviewed the 12 and 13 and while I sold the 13 I really liked the green phytoplankton.

[@Bobsbargainbasement]

Very Nice Indeed! I just got my Blue Alpinist SRP089 and love it , but these turtles do pop!

[@josephdesimone6663]

I love this channel! Amazing watches, great video. Keep up the good work!!!

[@watchvideosreview]

Thank you so much for your kind words! 🍻 cheers 😊

[@TomCorbett420]

These babies turtles looks good 😍

[@khronokraze]

thanks for the video. Yeah, I think a lot of places around asia are so much more advanced and forward thinking in their city growth compared to other parts of the world. My impressions having been around several times is life just moves fast and thus it reflects in how society and urban development as well as consumer products advances. things go in and out of style really fast. I did pick up a Solar Tuna PADI edition. These newer solar tunas look better than previous, imho. They went back to the older styling with the dial and handset. Additionally, the bezel inserts are kind of nicer or more unique. They are translucent and you can actually see the numbers/markers raised under the surface.. And, pretty cool that 0-15 is lumed, too. The two zimbwe LE mini turtles are pretty cool. I think the yellow is the better of the two. I just prefer yellow and black, especially for a dive watch. Seiko has done an amazing job with another unusual dial treatment. At first I thought maybe it was the same pattern/texture they used in the LE Cocktail watches they had about a year or so ago.. specifically the Sakura Fubuki. But, looking closer, it is not the same pattern/texture and something completely different and new. I know a lot of people have gripes about Seiko's limited editions... I think you probably may have caught wind of the recent blue alpinist US limited edition just a couple weeks ago. Sure, on one hand Seiko may have done well to release that much anticipated and desired blue dial color for the alpinist as not limited edition. BUT, they did and so it is.. and, I agree with you, having limited edition watches gives some bit of added excitement to the watch collecting community.. something to strive for and if you can get one, it makes for a unique ownership experience to have something special that not everyone else can have. Sounds a little selfish, but then again having a watch collecting hobby is a self-indulgent activity anyways. Limited editions can bring excitement and joy, but always is a flipside for those who can't get those LE's or have a soured experience having to pay price hikes for popular desired LE's on the 2nd hand market. Thus is the way of life and limited edition game. BUT, I would like Seiko to keep truly limited editions truly limited. Meaning do not double dip in the limited edition pool! They've been a little sneaky with said LE Cocktail watches such as the Sakura Fubuki and Starlight watches.. They were mostly strongly advertised and marketed as JDM exclusives with set # of limited #'s. BUT, lesser advertised, Seiko also released essentially the same models with a different reference # for the larger Asian Pacific market.. also, limited edtion, but the limited #'s were even more.. about 2x what the JDM versions were. To add insult to injury, the only difference was the strap. Smooth vs Crocodile Textured. That's it?! Having the JDM Starlight, it was a bit disappointing to know that the limited edition wasn't truly that.. a strap change doesn't constitute a completely different watch or make it exceptionally special.. and, yes, felt a bit duped into the purchase and spoiled the moment knowing there were that many more examples floating around. Anyways.. sorry for a little small rant at the end. Your videos are a bit far and few between, but always enjoy catching up and seeing what you have whenever you make new ones.

[@watchvideosreview]

Wow what an interesting comment! Thanks so much for coming back to the channel. Thanks for your kind words🙏😊

[@miguelangelojf]

I agree with you on the Starlight and Fubuki. Very annoying that weren't truthful at the onset how many they would be selling GLOBALLY and what you have been hoping would be a more exclusive piece is not so anymore. Lost my interest with Seikos a bit after that move. Until I saw the red Zimbe Samurai from this channel anyway. 😂

[@RAR-wg5jw]

Dude....you have the best fucking announcer voice!! you should do radio or TV broadcasting!!

[@watchvideosreview]

Thanks for watching, I hope to be back doing videos in the near future😊

[@justinblakeman1364]

So I have 2/SRP turtles already but these have caught my attention. I thought it like the green better but it seem to me that the yellow is actually the real star of the show.

[@yaaxarr8977]

Love badly these two models! Great review as usual buddy.

[@freepirate4470]

Hi there again! I'm back. I first messaged you during a video you did in Vietnam. I'm the guy that lives in Vietnam. I love KL too. Been there about 6 times. Go to the zoo, in mountain /jungle behind it, there is a place that does a 4 wheeler tour through that area and to a couple waterfalls there. It's great fun to ride a 4 wheeler.

[@KGB-FSB]

We need more videos to fulfill our never ending appetite.

[@GFWatch]

Shout out from Malaysia 🤘

[@jonoedwards4195]

Seixy! Haha, You left the Gorgeous Green for Me. Everyone of the Watches on this Episode was just Doing It Dude. Brilliant Show WV.

[@bullrambler]

I like them both and if only one was available I'd choose green first and yellow second. Reason being there are far fewer watches in colors other then blue so they both look great...!

[@alabanzarobert]

Finally! Mini turtle getting some love

[@itskyyuuuu]

Green one is great!! Would have to change the minute hand in the yellow one can't stand yellow and red color combos

[@joseleshil]

I love the green one....

[@mdtaylor2274]

I see you haven't uploaded anything for a while now but your voice can smoke a brisket just by speaking to it. Great video!

[@Bugster987]

Nice to see new variations of the mini turtle. Still hoping for a save the ocean version.

[@nunyabizness199]

And a shave the children one after that..

[@anthoniussusanto4452]

waiting for my green one to arrive. Woo hoo!!

[@bimlocsin2707]

Great review! Thanks

[@sealevelbear]

That yellow is so slick!

[@Tal-wb9jn]

Thank God!!! you are alive...another great Vid!!!

[@H0kram]

Man, I always find those Zimbe absolutely stunning but can't justify spending this much premium. Still, if I ever see one in person I'll pull the trigger on it.

[@ABGG55]

Glad to see you again!

[@watchvideosreview]

Thank you! Thanks for coming back to the channel😊👍

[@pibblesnbits]

Looks like the mini turtles have a Fibonacci pattern on their dials. Also if you go to a service center to adjust your chapter ring they will 1. refuse to do it saying it is "within tolerance or 2. charge you to do it.

[@rerami30]

Great video as usual. Hopefully Seiko will release more variants of the "mini turtle"

[@VTheGuerrilla]

AWESOME!!! You are the first to post this watch.

[@Goob2112]

Thanks for the great review. I just picked up the green one and I absolutely love it. It was a toss up between the two, but as I already have a yellow watch in my collection and no green, that was the tiebreaker. I have a 7 inch wrist so I really enjoy these smaller divers.

[@mohamadlokmandaimon3582]

I got attracted by a mini turtle so I searched high and low... and thankfully managed to find a yellow piece! 😁 It's coming otw... Anyway, here is my Irish Coffee. kzbin.info/www/bejne/mYmrq5yCn9KtZ5I

[@watchvideosreview]

It’s a great size!

[@mohamadlokmandaimon3582]

Managed to put together a video for the yellow ⌚ kzbin.info/www/bejne/p5SxZ56Mfdpsl9k

[@mathiashammar1]

[@TheZanshen]

[@danielbosch153]

I was there with the MRT project. Cool beans.

[@MrLoughneagh]

Have you stopped making videos? I really enjoy your expertise & advice. There are so many new models out and would appreciate some reviews. Please let us know the situation. Thanks

[@watchvideosreview]

I’m almost finished with the new one hope to have it out before the weekend is over!😊

[@riwanrevol8571]

Hello, I'm currently in Thailand and saw today the green and yellow mini turtle. I notice that the lume on your new acquisition is blue, the one I saw today got the basic green lume. Could you confirm that your lume is blue or is it a trick of the light? Thank you

[@watchvideosreview]

Hello, you’re lucky to be able to find one! The lume is green, perhaps that’s just the way it looked in the video😉👍

[@riwanrevol8571]

​@@watchvideosreview Thanks for answering, good continuation with your channel. All the best.

[@paulienkhamvaiphei134]

Nice short reviews.please mention the shops and malls you visit.It will be very helpful.

[@raymondrichardson6061]

That yellow is just gorgeous. If they come to Europe, it will be mine. A yellow bottle cap, would be cool also. But, why limited?...

[@watchvideosreview]

Just these mini turtle variations are limited 😉 The bottlecap is not limited, more widely available. Hope to have a video coming out for you on those soon😊 thanks for watching!

[@ForbinColossus]

@9:51 you promised to go to the Seiko Service Center - are you still going to? Thanks

[@ForbinColossus]

[@TheBelse]

Looks like they've imitated the Swiss machine work you see on the high end small run pieces...art pieces.

[@nunyabizness199]

Actually, I believe they were making watches before the Swiss were, I dunno.
