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.

RazorD · 27 July 2018, 11:03 AM

I prefer the red.

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.

Coming from Rolex, they're inexpensive that you can just get both. I have 2 turtle PADI

Old Expat Beast · 27 July 2018, 12:24 PM

I prefer the all black on rubber.

Styles Bitchley · 27 July 2018, 12:26 PM

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

Flip a coin, they are both great divers.

Gharddog03 · 27 July 2018, 01:32 PM

Great input!!! Thanks everyone!!! I’m leaning towards the red/black combo...but buying both would solve the dilemma....

toxicavenger · 27 July 2018, 01:35 PM

You won't lose with either one of them

Frogman · 27 July 2018, 09:28 PM

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..

redfoxer · 29 July 2018, 05:26 PM

The coke is my choice on this one too. Looks really cool!

Red/Black for me too, Genaro.

Gharddog03 · 30 July 2018, 07:43 AM

Thanks for all the input. My wife picked the 777 for my birthday.

It just comes down to colour preference.

What about the "all black" version, that is my preferred Turtle

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.

The red is nice, go for it

lilgill · 9 August 2018, 07:14 PM

blue is nice man I like it
