Hi, I m new here, just get my watch yesterday night, SRPC41K1 baby turtle padi, oh and btw, the watch got AM / PM? because I m not sure I set the date right or not
nice piece but the original straps looks a little bit long on you
you could buy a cheap silicon strap from shopee/lazada for about rm10-15 and use back the original buckle and keeper from seiko
otherwise barton watch strap would be a better choice as they have short silicon strap for mini wrist like us
Thought so. I understand it all. Even at 17+ cm, I cannot wear anything above 46 mm. in lug length.

However, curve lugs are different.
This person has 15.5 cm. Maybe can wear this due to the curve nature of the lugs. Not seiko though
yes exactly curved and straight lugs makes a whole lot difference
that's why the sarb033/035 is fit perfectly for many small wrist humans like us with the combination of 38mm + curve lugs to get that round look of hugging on the wrist

I’m having a 6” wrist. Been rocking my samurai SRPD09 for most of the time. The turtle just doesn’t feel right with me. That SRPC91 has been staying in the drawer for far too long lol.
I've tried on the samurai too fits nicely on 6" but it is quite tall and squarish makes it feel bulky
the turtle case round shape doesn't feel right for me too
end of the day after few years of collecting still not a single seiko diver in my collection but 8 seikos in total of sarx and sarb series
Actually I kind of want to change the strap of mini turtle to nylon nato style, but, the case around 1.3 cm thick and weight a bit. So if use nylon or canvas stray then the case will lean left and right?
can try getting the thicker cloth type but then cannot wear loose fit otherwise will move around
I prefer the non tuna mm300 such as SLA023, but they cost a bomb. If I’m still single I would buy them in a heartbeat. Sold my Swiss watches and started my seiko journey. No disrespect to all the Japanese watches tho.
I'm kinda same with you on the second part
previously had an omega speedy and breitling colt + several steinharts
after selling both of those then expanded from my initial starting piece sarb035 to many more
yes, thats the problem, confirm will move around, so better stay silicon, I really dont like metal strap, all those scratches due to wear and tear... unbearable..
silicon more comfortable and more suitable to pair with dive pieces
nato will also thicken the already thick dive case which is a no no for me
Hi, I want to ask a question about the Seiko automatic watch. Lets say if I didnt wear the watch at Saturday and Sunday, can i manually wind the watch when the watch are still moving? will it damage the watch?
can.. I manually wind mine my automatics every morning even though I wore the watch the day before with lots of power reserve left
have been doing this for a long period of time so far no issues
iirc automatic watch have escape mechanism so it will not be overwind, but manual wind watch have its limits which u will feel its stiff and cannot wind anymore
yeap that's true that manual wind movements the feeling is more significant on the stiffness compared to automatics
but I somehow feel that even the 6r movements has a slight diff click when reaching its max reserve
