I have a Seiko "Turtle" with a dial that looks almost the same. I am wondering if the "Great Blue Hole" dial is the same as the "Turtle" with the dark sides and blue center? Of course, the Great Blue Hole has better specifications, but just wondering if the dial is shared in which case, I don't find the dial all that special. Thanks for the excellent review. Enjoyed your video very much.

Apparently the 6R15c and d have 24 jewels. They added an extra jewel to the movement at some point in the past and did not update the writing on the rotor that says 23 jewels. If you notice the 4R35 and 4R36 also have 24 jewels but its written 24 jewels on the rotor and information. I believe the 6R15 was released before the newer 4R36. All based off the original 7S26 model. Lovely watches. I have a padi turtle(4R36) and blue coral Sumo which has the 6R15c movement in. Love my Sumo : )~

But you don't really notice it when you casually wears it on your wrist. And this model they show to us is almost twice the price of the great white shark model. I love it but I will not buy it because the looks on the great white is much more beautiful and awesome compared to this one. There is a gold tone and I think that one is unique in it's own style.
