Product Description
It’s obvious where the Makara Sea Turtle II gets its name: with its thick, almost-armored shell-like case, the watch looks like something you might find swimming alongside you off the coast of Mexico. You certainly could wear it on a dive, too: water resistant to 300 meters, the Sea Turtle II is built for slippery conditions Read More

RayFGot it in just now! First impressions is lord is it big. No biggie. Love the look of it! Seems like a good quality build. Crown is smooth operating. The only thing I dislike is the strap buckle. Way way way too thick and huge for my wrist. Will now have to get a better strap. The glass is awesome! Whoever designed the buckle needs a good throttling though, haha. Already caught it on something 3 times. Pics later.

I have to be honest. I really had a terrible experience with getting this watch. It was the first time that I had ordered one of these and they kept changing the send date if you order it from the original company. Then when I finally got it, the bronze brass knuckles clasp caused a lot of discoloration on my wrist. So I put it on a NATO strap and then within six months it just stopped working. I reached out to Makara eight times after it had broken and I reached out to them a good 12 times while I was waiting for it to come originally and I’ve never once received a response from them. Now I just have a dead watch.

Very few of the negatives comments are from people who actually own the watch—they’re mostly just a bunch wankers piling on.
Know any?

fattyharrySorry Harry, he who snoozez, loozez!
As I recall, Bronze sold out the first day here on MD and has been sold out for a while on Makara's site too. As of today (11/06/19) only black and stainless are available at the crazy-high price of $395! I like the watch, but not that much. Of course they were marketed as LEs, so that's the way the cookie crumbles.
I did receive a note from Makara this morning with the following, not much of a promo, promo announcement:

OMG--it's that watch everyone loves to hate!
Except me; I like 'em just fine. Actually bought the bronze version the first time it dropped here and recently preordered the latest version, (the Sea Serpent) on Makara's site, which is due to ship in December. The two offered on this drop are the original Sea Turtle II's (like mine). Evidently the Bronze sold out (no surprise) and all we have left are the Steel and Black PVD. So let me say this about that...
This version, the Sea Turtle II, in black or steel, is currently priced at $395 on Markara's site right now (remember these are LEs--when they're gone, they're gone, and yes, bronze is sold out there too), so MD's price of $189 is a great deal.
As to the colors offered here (meaning more specifically, the absence of the Bronze model), I like the bronze, but I will say straight up, the stainless steel version is better looking--and that's the color I chose when I ordered the newer Sea Serpent.
If you're bummed out the bronze isn't available on this drop, I wouldn't let that prevent you from grabbing the steel (or the black PVD) version--I think you'll like either one just as well, and in the long run, maybe end up with the better looking Makara. As a matter of fact, had I not already ordered the Sea Serpent, I would definitely order one of these right now, in Stainless Steel!
So, assuming this watch does appeal to you, for $189 you get a very unique looking diver with a great movement (Seiko NH35), a killer double domed Sapphire crystal (like nothing you've seen before), and a thick rubber strap that's probably tougher than your best leather belt.
On the other hand, if I can't talk you into the steel or black case, and you insist on BRONZE, you'll have to head over to Makara's site and fork over $349 for the Sea Serpent--comes with a black or navy dial this time around.

But if you want to torture yourself and be miserable all day because you can't buy the bronze on this drop, here are some shots of mine to help you:
