Even if you’re a slender wristed girly man with sub 7 inch wrists, you too can wear a full size turtle. Below is a series of pics comparing a turtle to a 40mm dive watch. You’ll notice they wear almost identically, and it’s all due to the lug to lug measurement. Thickness is only 13.6mm. I have just under a 7 inch wrist.

I don’t own the teenage mutant cyclops mini ninja turtle, but I did have a chance to try one on back when it was released. It actually wore too small, I’m guessing the lug to lug was around 45 mm. I’ve taken my turtle snorkeling, to the beach, and even the gym. Had it for almost 4 or 5 years now and is actually the first true ISO rated dive watch I’ve owned. Paid $309 on amazon. I switched out the mineral crystal with a flat sapphire from CrystalTimes (~$50 and my watchmaker let me use his crystal press. Cheap crystal presses go for $15 online). The aluminum insert scratches easily, bezel action is a bit mushy, and the crown is a little bit crossthreaded (my fault). Standard Seiko stuff. It does what it says on the tin. Lume is fantastic. Lots of aftermark support for these, so you can customize everything. Literally, everything. Dials, hands, date wheel, bezels, you name it. If the SKX is the Honda Civic of the Watch world, the turtle is the Accord. Eminently tunable, and very easy to work on. And that’s a good thing, because the quality control at Seiko is horrendous. If you’re not ok with tinkering, watch out for misaligned bezels and chapter rings. Seiko bracelets are chintzy, arm pulling nightmares, yet the silicon strap is probably the most comfortable strap I’ve ever worn. Strapcode has dozens of custom fitted turtle bracelets. If you don’t own a dive watch, an automatic watch, or want to try a larger size watch that will wear well on a smaller wrist, this is pretty much the best option there is. All the inherent problems of a cheap watch are still there, but aftermarket support and tons of YouTube how-to videos mitigate that. Anything you don’t like or that goes wrong on these, you can fix fairly cheaply and easily. If you already have a bunch of dive watches/automatic watches, then save up for the Rolex. You’re all welcome.

Didn't the Guess Who sing "Inflatable Woman" in the 70s?

Does anyone know exactly when this drop ends? It says "2 days left" but doesn't give a specific time and date.

Double check which model you pick. Two of these are regular turtles, and bigger. I have a mini turtle and a small wrist, I highly recommend the mini for the skinny wrist.

JasperLdefine "skinny". my wrist is 7-1/8" just above the wrist bone and the 45mm turtle wears and looks great.

The SRPC23 and 25 are "standard" Seiko Turtles, the other three are "mini" Turtles which have a Cyclops and date only complication.

Quick question: I see that "Made in Japan" is missing from the spec list of the SRPC35, can someone please confirm that this is indeed the SRPC35K and not the SRPC35J then?

NetherspriteThe only one on this run assembled in Japan is the Turtle SRPC23. In the Turtle and Mini Turtle models, on the dial at the 6th position, it should spell "Japan" next to the 4R36/4R35 movement; otherwise is the K model.
