Turtle Pepsi SRPA21

So I was at Macy’s today and checked about the Pepsi PADI. Liked it a lot and could get one with the sale for $332. Worth pulling the trigger?

Thanks. I may get it tomorrow. $332 isn’t bad. Any wrist shots?

I bought mine soon after it came out at the Miami Seiko Boutique. Paid a fair amount north of $332. Hope you pull it off!

What stinks about Macy’s is the sales tax on it. Got mine on Ebay from a Hong Kong seller. Paid tax too but had a nice chunk of Ebay bucks to significantly offset.

If it’s in your wheelhouse then go for it!

I’ll get mine in Delaware and they don’t have sales tax.

That's good news. The joys of living in Jersey

eBay has a new one for $287.99 and free shipping if you shop there. Seller has 100% feedback and over 8k sales.

But if you want it immediately, then it's not a bad price for a department store. AND, if you use Ebates cash back, Macy's is offering 6%. You can buy it online and pick it up in the store.

A very cool watch and dial. The watch looks great and in the sunlight does amazing things. Pictures do not do it justice.

Paid $263 for mine more than 2 years ago from ebay and I have been wearing it daily ever since. Costs almost nothing compared to my Rolex. Like it so much so much that I bought a J version from HK for back up. Hiking with my dog on July 4th

Macy’s is great when they have sales. I like to really look over any Seiko diver I buy to make sure everything lines up nice and perfect.

Love mine, have been wearing it the past two days. I bought from Macy’s at around the price you’re looking at. It’s a fantastic watch for the money. Do it!

One of the best blue sunburst dials for the price imo. Of course my last one got modded.

Good choice!

I am wearing mine now. The blue dial shimmers in the light. Good pick on the Strapcode Endmill. I have some of their jubilees and a Hexad. Good bracelets for a fair price. Have fun!

Was the fitment good? Pretty heavy?

The Hexad is heavy, the jubilee is light. I presume that the Endmill will be in between. I think that it suits the Padi Pepsi well. I was not a fan of the original bracelet. I thought that was heavy.

I switched to an Uncle Seiko waffle strap, but I thought that it was too light and thin. I now have it on a thicker, heavier Crafter Blue rubber strap. I like it.

$230 + tax at Belk right now after code (and on the bracelet). Way too big for me, but sweet otherwise.
