Turtle got my vote. It's beautiful, iconic, inexpensive, reliable, stout, good wrist present, very comfortable to wear with aftermarket super jubilee bracelet and Marine Master quick adjust 300m claps. I like it so much that I bought another for spare :)

I prefer the turtle but it’s a matter of personal preference. I like the vintage look and case shape of the turtle. Check out the save the ocean turtle.

I think the Turtle is more classic, but I prefer (and purchased as a gift for my father) the Samurai.

I have both. A Prospex Turtle SRP779 and the Samurai is an SRPC93. I took the bracelet off of the Turtle and put a Bonetto Centurini rubber dive strap. I wore it quite a bit last summer. Super comfy. The dial is great. Especially in the sun.

I’ve only had the Samurai for two weeks so I can’t make a fair comparison. I’m still in the honeymoon phase with it. The dial is unique and the watch doesn’t wear big. I don’t have any complaints with either. FWIW I have 8” wrists.

I have had several of each and have found that my tastes go toward the Turtle. Both are very nice but the Turtle sits on my wrist better and I like the look.

Turtle. More iconic with great heritage. These are my two:

I'll be a naysayer and say Samurai! I don't like the cushion shape of the Turtle.

I have both. Prefer the Turtle. I like having the day of the week!

Turtle. But i'm biased. Haven't owned a Samurai yet. Now i'm going to have to go buy one.

Turtle. Mini Turtle, to be more specific. I do dig the orange dial Samurai though.

Samurai was bigger imo.

I love the case design of the samurai, the angles are so sharp and modern looking

Thanks guys for sharing your experience regarding the Turtle and Samurai......

Will look into the Turtle & will start a new thread on which Turtle to get, once I narrow down to 3 models....
