Anyone have this Prospex?
Seiko popped up on my Instagram feed a few weeks ago with this, anyone here have one? I'm going to NYC this weekend and was hoping to see it at the Boutique. If I like it enough there's a small dealer there where I've gotten two Turtles before, will see if he order one for me. (Ref SPB083)

Great Blue Hole?
I dont have one. But ive considered getting one. Relatively easy to source. Seen it in various stores around Asia. |

I saw this watch just a few days ago. Seems to be great value, and the dial is pretty unique. I believe it comes with a rubber strap as well.

Sorry for not reporting back. I also went to see it at the Madison Ave Boutique a couple of weeks ago. Really beautiful but I needed to think about it. I then visited with my dealer friend Vinny at Las Americas Jewelers on Mott St. He said that a dealer needs to carry the "Lux Line" to get one. He told me he was planning on adding that anyway so he could order me one.
I'm kind of waiting a few weeks to recover from the vacation before adding another watch. It is definitely a tangible upgrade over the lesser Turtle series. |

I have it. Do you have any questions I could answer for you buddy? It’s a nice watch, love the dial. Best daily wearer one could ask for. My only gripe is how it easily loses time where after wearing it for only two days, it’s already like 7 secs off. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

That real world picture looks great! Surprised to hear that you're losing that much time, I thought the 6R movement was supposed to be near COSC, hopefully it will get better with use. My 4R Turtles are generally within +2 seconds a day.

He is only losing 3.5 seconds a day. The 6r15 I think spec is -15/+25. So that is really good.
