Just got my first Seiko
Just expressing how happy I am to get my first Seiko Turttle PADI prospex :)

Got a good deal at Macy's. 30% of
Retail.

I was able to resize the bracelet myself but it took a lot longer vs my Rolex watches.

Here is a pic

Um, I don't want to pee on anyone's riff here but why is this in the Panerai sub-forum?

Nice watch though, congrats

Congratulations. I own a Turtle with the blue red bezel and think that it is a great watch. I have ordered the LE Blue Turtle from my AD and am looking forward to getting it. The Turtle is a very comfortable watch for it's size.

Congrats.

It's a great watch. Versatile. Looks good on rubber strap and two-tone NATO straps, too.
