SRP787 vs SRP789
Hello everyone..... I’m considering picking up one of these bad boys. I would love to hear opinions.

It’s just down to taste. Some people prefer Coke and some prefer Batman.
Personally I’d go for the red/black, but only because I already have a Rolex BLNR. |

I got the 789 but changed it right away to a silicon strap meant for the darth tuna. Just my personal preference anyways. Just prefer the turtle on a rubber/silicon bracelet.

I’ve never seen either of those! They’re sweet. I think I prefer the Batman.

Flip a coin, they are both great divers.

Hi mate, ive got the batman and its one of my favs, looks fantastic in the flesh and the light blue minutes hand gives it a really fresh look.
The cokes cool too but the batman wins out this one for me. Id just get both lol, ive got 5 turtles so ive had the same decisions too, buying both sounds like the best option lol.. |

It just comes down to colour preference.
What about the "all black" version, that is my preferred Turtle : BlackTurtle.jpg

I was having your same problem when these two were introduced...
I couldn't make up my mind and asked my wife. She simply said "How much are these ? Get both !" Now they're a bit more expensive for some reason, but at the time I paid 500 euros for both. These are the watches we mostly use for diving these days. I wear the Coke, my wife wears the Batman. Excellent value, very dependable and carefree watches. I tried different mods on them, but in the end the only mod I kept is the domed sapphire crystal, the rest is perfect as at is. These have a very strong Seiko diver DNA going already. |
