This is definitely an amazing 🤩 seiko diver . I’ve tried this watch on before at a local jeweler. I also tried on the King Seiko Manta Ray turtle on bracelet. That dial was beyond amazing.

Good to see you again. Beautiful watch.

I wore it again today!

A nice video. A day/date with the candybar is so helpful for us "older folks" It's a great watch.

I just to received my SRPE39 King Manta Ray turtle 🐢. I own the Padi Turtle as well but these new King Turtles 🐢 with sapphire crystal and ceramic bezel are amazing 🤩

I have the green grenade. Just got it today. It's fantastic. I've seen divers for 3 grand and up that this one stacks up with. It has saved me a ton of money.

Just got one, thank you for the video. I have laundry, one for a couple of years

I also like the Steel Dive Willard Homage with NH35,ceramic Bezel,Saphire crystal under 100.00 Dollars and the Citizen Pro Master around 250.00 Dollars!😊

Thread some waxed dental floss (it needs to be waxed) around the crown stem and it should resolve the grainy issue you were describing.

Really like the sapphire crystal.... great price....bezel action....gold on the second hand!! Great seeing you Jonah!! 😊😊

Cool watch. To realy complete the package, they should added a signed crown as well...

I always lube my divers crown/gasket with Silcon 7 high vacuum pressure watch case sealant. That will smooth out the threads or try cleaning with a q tip and then waxed dental floss between the threads. Esslinger has the Silcon 7. Great looking watch, BTW have you put it on a timegrapher yet?

I must have bought and sold at least 5 turtles and now I'm looking for another one lol. There's something about the turtle that always pulls me back into wanting one.

I like the SeikoPADI with Coke Bezel And the Seiko SRP777!

I love the turtle. Have the one with the blue manta ray dial. Love that dial so much that i bought a samurai with the same manta ray dial. Unscrewing the crown on my turtle feels smooth & lubricated. My samurai on the other hand feels rough to unscrew initially but is getting better after a couple of screwing & unscrewing.

Try using dental floss on the threading of your watch . The threads could be dirty. I’ve done this on a few of my watches and definitely improved when screwing in the crown .

For me, the sapphire glass and bezel plus the dial design makes me prefer the king turtle over the basic turtle. Especially if you can find a good pre-owned one

Just lubricate the crown threads.. 6309 OG turtle still the best.

One more question: I’ve found a video here on KZread that compares the 21k1 with the newer version 91k1 that says the last has a slightly darker blue dial compared to the older model (yours) it’s the only person I’ve seen saying this and in pictures I can’t really see it , but this guy compares the two and says : look it’s darker . Do you know anything about it ?

I don’t have any hands-on experience with the other model, but mine is definitely satisfyingly dark blue. The “ray“ when it catches the sun is pretty light, so maybe there’s more of a contrast, but I would definitely call it a dark blue dial.

It's great except for the cyclops.

Seiko's QC and movement regulation straight out of the box has been abysmal for years now, unfortunately. Cool designs but terrible QC and unwarranted price increase across the board.
