I got my srp777k1 from VIRUSTAR over at garage sale for RM1140.00.  Just received my turtle. Much nicer in the metal than photos. Compared to sumo it wears smaller,lighter and more comfortable. The rubber strap is very soft and dust magnet like silicone. Printed on the strap "seiko z 22" How to tell if silicone? This post has been edited by enviro: Dec 18 2015, 03:57 PM

QUOTE(Everdying @ Dec 17 2015, 05:59 PM) millions of seiko fanbois suddenly cried out in terror... thats it, im gona sell off all my seikos already...after they implement the price increase  No need to sell off all. Just vote with wallet. QUOTE(alternativehype @ Dec 17 2015, 07:25 PM) Much as I love this re-issue Turtle, I don't think it's worth the current price Ditto on the latter. I don't like the X... actually I really really really dislike the X so I'm out too if its priced beyond what I can consider appropriate for a novelty Original still best

Looks decent and not bad, tempted to get the 775 but not sure whether would it be too large for my wrist

Getting Started

Hi all, I've recently collected an IP Tuna SRP655 set for RM2100 with only shop given warranty. I just like to check that most of you here buy the AD set or rather go for PI set ? Attached thumbnail(s)

i handled the 4 turtles today. the bracelet version feels quite heavy. side profile is meh, just like 007 only.
the gold one, i was scrutinizing it, and while it looked like the bezel was off-center...looking closer it was actually the whole dial that was off-center...zzz.
the rubber strap meanwhile is pretty cool, its similar to the prospex kinetic gmt sardine/tuna/whatever so basically silicone with a metal keeper.
oh ya, the indices actually have metal / metal coated plastic surrounds just like the 4r36 monster...pretty nice touch.
im now kinda swaying towards the black on rubber...hmmm...

It's looking more and more like not being a must buy.

Saw it in the flesh in Times Square, still don't think it's worth the price even after discount

Tuna silicon strap cost rm700 lol. I have been wearing for a few days and can confirm the new strap is very comfy. The new s.steel keeper is less bulky and even the buckle is a new chunky and solid design. This is definitely a good rubber strap and might explain the small diff in price compared to bracelet models.
