this one looks very nice.
Thanks OP. Always happy to see a good Starbuy deal here.
I know these are super popular. However, I'm really hanging out for a repeat of the Citizen Aqualand Pepsi bezel deal
“Aqualand”… hmm, what line of watches does that remind me of.
Are you thinking of either Omega Seamaster or Rolex Submariner? Those watches look much more sleek than Citizen's Aqualand range.
I was trying to make a reference to "Aqualand" sounding a lot like "Aqua Terra".
Tag Heuer aqua racer
Starbuy is my Favourite watch retailer. 👍
still haven't received my watch from them and it's been almost 4 weeks.
Weird. I ordered one a few weeks back and it arrived via Express post.
4R36 movement lol.
For 500$, it should at least be a 6R
That's so 2019!
Good luck finding anything 6R for $500 now that Seiko has shifted their pricing structure…
There is 25% Cashback (thru Shopback) across watches on Amazon AU today only.
Was thinking about buying an Omega Speedmaster which means I should get $2472.60 cashback.
Knowing the normal SB experience (i) it'll be capped at $25 (ii) you'll be lucky to get it anyway
Yep I was joking but I've looked everywhere for a cap & can't see one mentioned.
Even buying a watch for $200 isn't worth the risk with Shopback. I find it hard to believe they are going to give you $50 cashback.
@WatchNerd: I wouldn't rely on SB to make the deal. More of an added bonus.
How does this compare to Armani?
Armani is superior in everyway. Get Armani. Go go go.
Buy the Armani, take the money you saved from buying the Seiko, spend it on Bitcoin, go to the moon, cash out some BTC and buy a Rolex. No need for a Speedy, you've already been to the moon.
Fashion label watches are seldom good value - you're generally paying a premium for the label's logo to be slapped on a Fossil (or similar).
Yeah, Armani watches are great for diving.
Let's face it. No diver is going to use these watches for diving.
Ballast
Depends. Are you Indian? If so, yes.
Good price for that watch, but I'm also looking elsewhere for that money.
So many experts here
Always so tempted
I'm still undecided with this and Seiko Samurai SRPB51J.
If anyone is interested, it looks like starbuy is having a sale on all the Prospex watches. I’ve had my eye on the Save the Oceans edition King Turtle, and this is the best price I’ve seen it so far: https://starbuy.com.au/seiko-king-turtle-srpe39k/
I got mine for $549 in May last year. Havent seen it lower than that. Would hold out if i was you
I ordered the watch. Then looked closer and noticed the magnification 'bulge' over the date… regretting my purchased now.
You can remove the cyclops on most watches. I'm guessing this one is no different.
See this video.
You can also easily find replacement crystals for Seiko turtles. I personally like domed crystals like this one: https://www.namokimods.com/products/turtle-srp-double-domed-…
If it makes you feel any better, all Rolexes with a date have the cyclops as well. So if it’s good enough for Rolex…
Hmmmm https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0485y64UlBw&ab_channel=JustO… QC is lacking.
What's the diff between a king turtle and regular turtle?
Waffle dial, saphire glass, ceramic bezal? Anything else? Is that manual winding on the regular turtle? Seems pretty good value.
Not too bad of a price.
