Seiko is excellent at not offering what people want except in their expensive models. This one is the exception to the rule. Best value watch in their line. And that's why watch enthusiasts like it.

Exactly. They keep things like sapphire glass, etc. higher in their lines. These King Turtles and Samurai’s are even better because of this! :)
I picked one up a couple of weeks ago and I absolutely love it.

Hi Matt, thank you :) The waffle dial is so cool and really well done. Enjoy it!
Had this watch since 2020 and put it through the ringer. Used it while doing construction and renovation work on my house and its STILL running great. This watch is damn near unbreakable

Nice, I love to hear that! Thanks for watching
I love this watch! Especially the green waffle dial! Only green on a turtle I’ve seen, and just can’t put it down! I have many blues, greys, blacks, but this is my first green, and I think Seiko knocked it out of the park. Love your review, cheers, Matt😎😎✌️✌️

I’ve got the srpf77 “dark manta” love it. Everything aligns and it is accurate too. I put it on an uncle Seiko z199. I have a King Samurai also but I thing I’m going to sell it because I much prefer the case on these turtles.

I love the Samurai case but it is a touch big for me. The turtle is also just so so comfortable!
I have the same watch, is currently at Seiko service center for a true up, anxiously waiting its return.

Oh nice. I am sure they will get it running perfect for you soon! Enjoy it :)
I just got mine few days ago, ordered from Seiko. Cost 642.00 total. I love the color and the watch looks great on my 7.5 wrist. I sold my 3 Rolex's and Deep blues, Vostok Europe watches. Been without a nice time piece for 2 years, started looking at Seiko again and fell in love. I am ordering a SRPF79 to add to my collection that I am starting.

Why did you sell all your watches before?
Hey Bastet, your mates Katia, Mouche, Almond and Marika (among others... unamed😋) wish you a happy cat year! (although you didn't show up... again...!) Cheers Jason, be well mate. PS Your new "laurel" background looks like a weird tattoo a sponge diver would have. Nothing wrong with that, just saying, there are vintage/retro vibes in it, surely something underwater imo....

Bastet says hit to Katie, Mouche, Almond and Markia and sends them a happy 2023 cat year! The laurel background is actually a coaster LOL!
I have had the SRPE03 a couple years. I've got it on a Crafter Blue fitted rubber strap, which I really like. My crown is super smooth, and I don't recall any issues with it. My main issue is it's running -20s/d. While that's technically in spec, it's barely in there and kind of annoying. I have actually been late to meetings because of it.

Why don't you regulate by yourself. It's easy.

Unfortunately accuracy is really hit or miss with Seiko (among other QC issues). They take regulation pretty well if you have a good watchmaker nearby!
Wanted a green sumo but can't stand aluminum bezels. I ordered this srpe05 and a crafter blue cb12 waffle texture green strap.

I love it. It was actually my first Seiko. I have bought two more since. I have about 80 watches in my collection now. The king turtle gets worn occasionally. Being green it does not go with many of the clothes I wear.
Wish i had one😭

I just got one of these with a Miltat bracelet, fantastic value. The original bracelet is ok, but the Miltat is much much better, give sit such heft. it punches way above it's weight, well it's nearly as heavy as a Rolex Deep Sea!

Awesome! Agree Seiko bracelets are a weak point for the brand. The rest of the watch is fabulous, I’m glad you are enjoying it!!
By some miracle do the indices and bezel markers all align?

It does, but I have had many that do not! Seiko should fix this but I don't think they ever will!
