I think I need a Seiko

Two new releases and they look great: Seiko Prospex Turtle SRPB11 and Samurai SRPB09 Blue Lagoon Limited Editions. The blue dials and colour scheme immediately caught my attention.




I'd get this one.

They do look cool indeed!

I don't need another watch, I don't need another watch, I don't need another watch, I don't have a bright blue dial diver, I don't need another watch, I don't need another watch...

I had a white Samurai and I gifted it to my nephew. I just texted him today to see if he still has it.

Love the colors. I wish I did not already have a blue dialed turtle or this would be a must have.

Got this recently. Great watch. Total tank and keeping +1 sec/day time so far. Pretty impressive. I found the bracelet to be much improved as well, vs my skx 007 and SNZF. Solid links all around. Very heavy / solid. Hacking and handwinding also a plus. Wears smaller than 45mm due to nice shape. Actually very comfortable, while big.

My son got one of these on eBay this week. For the money, the quality is absolutely stunning, and now I want one as well!

My turtle. I loved the blue from the 787, but this new one takes the blue to a whole other level.
