I've really wanted one of these and my wife got me one for Christmas. Canadian version with the day in French and English. IMG_0457.jpg

Didn't know they made a French/English version of this.

Nice one. Congrats.

I got the Padi Mini Turtle and I love it. But it's not keeping time as well as I would like it to.

Yes I'll take a pic of the French and post it. I would like better accuracy out of this and plan to have my guy in Orlando regulate it when back there. I really like this watch. More than my Sub.

id give it some time to settle in first before opening her up. 2 weeks ago mine was running about 12 secs slow out of the box. Today it’s about +2 and is looking fantastic on the timegrapher.

Very nice, a classic! I like the English/French day wheel. I have a SKX173 that is English/Arabic and a Sinn that is English/German. I want a watch in English/Japanese (I think it’s called Kanji).

You have to buy the JDM version for Kanji days.

I like the SEIKO strap on this watch for comfort, but it’s a lint magnet. Any thoughts about changing it up?

I just put the same strap on mine today. No more lint collecting. And I put a “chocolate bar” strap on my “Save The Ocean” Turtle.

That's a good idea. I'm going to give it some time.

Strange, mine doesn't pick up lint at all.

Mine doesn't either. But I know others who it does for them.

it’s inevitable for silicone to attract dust, lint, whatever you want to call it. I see it in the photo you posted. It’s not really a big deal in my opinion.
