This was a really tough decision. I knew I wanted a turtle but I’m in love with the Batman, the PADI Pepsi, the king turtle manta ray, and the srp777. What do you guys/gals think? What would you have gone with if given these options?
I’m thinking about an Uncle Seiko waffle strap in the blue color. |

Very nice! More to come among your runner ups. The waffle strap will reduce the weight

Nice.
The waffle strap didn't work for me, far too loose on one hole, when I moved to the next it was tight and the hard material made it really dig in. |

Great choice and no issues with any of the others. Try to find a second generation Seiko silicon rubber strap for comfort and wear. It is worth the msrp of $49.

Congrats! That would be my choice if I was adding another Turtle to my collection.

The shape of the turtle makes the 45mm seem like less on the wrist but the weight is worrisome if it’s to be worn as a daily. So I was thinking along your lines of weight reduction.

Sheen really wore that turtle though. That strap combo is timeless. |
