The mini turtle is a laggard sales-wise. It's so underappreciated. For me, it's the small, but funky and fun Seiko diver. You want a classical, serious-looking diver you can wear for business? Plenty of other models from Seiko for that.

is that skx009j1?
classic.

looks better than the mini turtle. more discreet.

what strap is this? cantikk

Bonetto Cinturini 300D.

The strap colour works very well with this watch because it picks up the various whites of the dial and bezel. In other words, the strap is not a disjointed element distinctly different from the watch head (as would be the case with brown leather or most natos), but seems to be a visual continuation that is congruous with the watch head.

You could also use a black strap, but black is a non-colour. By definition, black absorbs all light. Matt black as a strap is like having no strap, leaving just the watch head as the object of interest. Originally, this padi edition comes with a navy blue strap, but it is so dark as to be almost black.

A red strap would echo the red portion of the bezel and the minute hand. I tried a red perlon strap and it's also a pretty good match. I imagine a blue strap that matches the blue of the bezel would also work.

The advantage of white is its sheer brightness. It's also an uncommon strap colour. It gives the watch a huge amount of sportiness and youth.

I'd like to try an orange strap with it some day.

Mind to share where you bought it?

Ah ha! So you are that curious buyer 😝

Wonder if this is what they do >>>

I'm in love with my mini turtle. Is this normal.

ever heard of "honeymoon period"?

Lolol. Savage but true

personal experience bro.

been wearing mini turtle for almost 8 month now. i go for the bracelet one.
frankly, the watch is super-reliable and underrated compared to the cost.
for a small wrist, i think this is the best option for diving watch looks. bigger wrist might had better options.

envy the skx mod looks tho, but for the hacking and winding feature, mini turtle is more interesting watch to own

Skx can be modded to take NH36 for hack & wind

true. but i afraid my hand might gg the movement

Bought last night a pepsi nato for the pepsi mini turtle

Just got back my SGEG097P1 from repair.. I accidently opened it and it fall flat on the back side.

RM 60. Change entire movement. Not sure what movement the person put in the watch.

this one looks good.
What's the full model? Want to look further into this.
