Seiko Turtles are very practical every-day watches; they're easy to read and comfortable to wear. The 4R36 movement includes a day/date complication, with hacking and winding--everything you need and nothing you don't. I like them so much I bought two (SRP777 in silver and SRPC44 in gold PVD).

I just remembered those aren't the only "Turtles" I have...

The one on the left qualifies if not by manufacturer, then certainly by case (and spirit).

bigred25929 I have not, so I found this video review to have a look see : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v09EuWLe3w4 I tend to agree with everything the guy says--the Steeldive most likely comes out of the same factory as the equivalent Heimdallr Captain Willard (seems everyone's selling a version now). Most notable differences appear to be the upgraded lumed ceramic bezel and the slightly textured dial. Other than that they both ship with sapphire crystals and identical Seiko NH35 movements. I have to agree with the reviewer, while the lumed bezel sounds nice, the fact that it's blue while the indices are green kind'a killed that feature for me (that, and it's not true to the original Seiko). He didn't like the steel bracelet and wasn't wild about the Steeldive logo. I could deal with the logo (even though I kind'a dig the Shark logo on the Heimdalr's) but this watch really needs a Tropic strap to in order to look like a faithful (inexpensive) Captain Willard--evidently he had to shell out extra for one. Heimdalr's Willard and 62MAS ship with very nice Tropicals. Bottom line: it's not horrible ;- ) I haven't compared prices though, what did you find?

RayFI haven't really looked into it other than a quick glance on AliExpress! Mayeb I'll snoop around on "The bay" to see if any are roaming around!

I still have 3 Turtles SRP’s! Gold, two tone and black. Have you seen the rose gold land tortoise yet?

Mr_Ling Actually I hadn't--I had to go looking for them, and when I found them, I wasn't happy! Initially I thought they weren't half-bad looking, then I read the fine print.

The first thing Seiko screwed up is the case size down from 45mm on the original Turtle to a smaller 42.3mm in the Tortoise. I suppose a guy could live with that, but they really screwed up the DAY/DATE complication--they eliminated the damn DAY! Only the date remains--now it's just another date-only dial with the aperture at the 4:30 position (with numerals about 2/3rds the size of the original font used--not helpful). I don't have a problem with the compass style bezel--that's more or less the point of the watch (even though that method is only mildly functional in the field). Of the color ways available, I'd probably opt for the Olive Green (assuming someone was holding a gun to my head). I'd pull the trigger myself before I'd wear the Rose Gold version, especially at the $550 MSRP! So bottom line: I hate 'em. They look as though someone at Seiko forced a Turtle to mate with an Alpinist and this is the deformity that resulted!

Work around for firmware/configuration update error "command not recognized"

I spent more than an hour attempting to update my Drop Shift keyboard. I'm not sure what has changed, but I was not able to do it entirely from the Drop website as I had previously done. I have most of the keys configured how I would like, but the default LED function was a very bright, distracting, rainbow wave going across the keyboard. Every time I turned the computer on I had to manually adjust the lights how I liked. Using the online version or the locally installed app, you first have to install the QMK XAP interface. You then have to flash your already configured firmware file, which can be done on the Drop website. If you are logged in your last configuration is saved under your account and you can alter what you like, so you don't have to start from scratch. So, following the instructions I selected the appropriate board, entered bootloader mode, but when attempting to flash the file, I would get an error that the C:/Users/Mike C..... command is not recognized...

Drop CSTM - keyboard build guide

Assembly Steps: 1. Remove the 8 case screws with a phillips head screwdriver. (Note: If your keyboard already comes with stabilizers already pre-installed and you do not want to change your switch plate, you can safely skip to step 7.) 2. Remove the structural top case once all the case screws are removed. 3. Take out the keyboard plate and PCBA assembly together and flip them around. Remove the 6 screws connecting the assembly with a phillips head screwdriver. 4. The plate and PCBA assembly should now be separate, allowing you to add the PCBA stabilizers. You will need to make (4) 2u and (1) 6.25u stabilizers for the CSTM80. Please see image below on how to create stabilizer assemblies. (Note: Test the stabilizers and make sure the stems are freely moving up and down to ensure everything is installed correctly.) 5. Ensure IXPE foam is affixed properly on the PCBA with all holes aligned. Install the stabilizer assemblies onto...

Spin the Wheel of Power

You know the story. 3 rings to the Elven-kings. 7 to the Dwarf-lords. 9 to mortal men. And 1 to the Dark Lord. What will your fate be? Spin the Wheel of Power to see where you land on the ring of prizes. Regardless of the outcome, be sure to take a look at the Lord of the Rings collection after claiming your prize. You can spin the wheel a maximum of three times, but much like those who have worn the Ring of Power—there's no turning back after that button is clicked. How did the journey go for you? Share your spoils below.

Drop Keyboard Club Questions

Hello everyone! I'm looking to join DKC, but I have a few questions. The first day of November has already passed. Will I still get the coupon for November immediately after signing up today (Nov. 10)? What is the definition of Mechanical Keyboard products? Will the coupon apply to desk mats? I believe it should apply to everything listed under this category? For orders under $79, the coupon will be converted to a percentage discount. Will the percentage discount apply to all mechanical keyboard items in an entire order, or it can only be applied to a single mechanical keyboard item in the order? Thanks in advance!
