I like tortoises. I have a couple, including the rose gold one from this deal and chucked a bracelet on it, and also the "Night Vision" one.

This is a decent price for a plain black dial on a bracelet, because if you squint a bit, it almost looks like a Willard for 1/4 the price!

    Propex

    Propex?

    I like this watch. Simple, clean and with a sense of direction.

      Good catch, thanks.

      sense of direction

      I still remember how you got me when I first joined.

      There's an old saying in Tennessee — I know it's in Texas, probably in Tennessee — that says, fool me once, shame on — shame on you. Fool me — you can't get fooled again.

    Waiting for a sub 500 coloured King Turtle with metal band. Is the rep on ozb?

    • rosebank on 12/04/2023 - 14:24

      Dunno, but @WatchNerd knows the owner

    this watch is a top to bottom winner

    size is right 42mm 12mm thick weight is low, solid 4r35 AND sapphire and of course its a cut above a Seiko 5 for not much more and its a proper diver

    • MS Paint on 12/04/2023 - 14:30

      And it always reminds you to Never Eat Soggy Weeties. Win win.

      • tonyjzx on 12/04/2023 - 14:50

        ok now that bugs me

        i know theres a way to determine north using a watch and sun position?

        silly feature really but harmless

    • fleetfeather on 12/04/2023 - 18:43

      Not sure why they added a rotating compass bezel over a dive timer….

      • rosebank on 13/04/2023 - 11:44

        land tortoise, not a turtle which are real divers

        • fleetfeather on 13/04/2023 - 13:21

          No no, I get that. I just think compass bezels are almost universally less useful or practical, and definitely inferior to a dive timer (irrespective of whether you use the dive timer for actual diving)

          Also funny/sad that we - the watch community - need to actually specify "land tortoise"…

          • rosebank on 13/04/2023 - 13:30

            @fleetfeather: I've never used the bezel on any of my divers, nor do I dive, so the bezel is like whatever idc. I bet the vast majority of people who buy divers don;t actually dive. Like I have a Sinn U1—I'm not going anywhere near 1000m—maybe 2m in my friend's pool.

              @rosebank: Oddly enough, I use my sinn u1 ds bezel everyday - usually to ensure client appointments run on time, or to ensure I don't burn anything in the oven ;)

              My U1 is my everyday watch - tegiment is underrated

              • rosebank on 13/04/2023 - 15:39

                @fleetfeather: Nice! I only have the regular U1 for the poors

                • fleetfeather on 13/04/2023 - 15:40

                  @rosebank: I think there's not much difference in value haha… The U1 is a great watch, nice purchase

                    @fleetfeather: Just saw your edit. Tegiment is the best. My 856 UTC has this really nice champagne-like colour and was my beater for a while. Had to get the sapphire replaced. Barely any scratches on the case and bracelet.

                      @rosebank: You know a hardening technology works well when your sapphire has to be replaced but the case looks nearly flawless haha…

    whats your take on the pepsi C/W ?

  • xavi46 on 12/04/2023 - 17:04

    do you have king turtle as well? or you like tortoise more?

    was looking at tuna quartz with stainless bezel stainless guard and band ….seems the WR300 doubles the price compared to WR200 tuna ….s23633j. saleras had it for $1200, thought they were joking until i saw $2300 rrp on google ….. so this diver at $450 isn’t bad for seiko …..

    • pennypacker on 12/04/2023 - 20:50

      It's not a diver. It says so in the model name.
