nice watch. Just curious what is your wrist size?

I've tried this exact baby turtle on my 6" wrist and my guess is his wrist should be below 6" looking at his picture biggrin.gif

mine at 5.5", actually I wanted to get SRPD46K1 at 1st, love the black gold color, but the case really big on wrist, so had to give up on that

totally understand how you feel mate.. even at 6" is hard to find a nicely sized diver for my wrist

there are those seamaster 36 / colt 38 classics in the market but pocket will burn a hole laugh.gif

Fresh out of oven from the Land of Rising Sun... SARX055.. Titanium is really light. Feels like nothing compared to my previous SS Seiko watch...

bought 2 unit... anyone interested to take up the one spare unit?

very nice piece on your wrist

I have a couple of SARXs 005 007 and 041.. the bracelet is a real step up from the sarb035 series and feels premium on the wrist

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 biggrin.gif

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 biggrin.gif

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 doh.gif

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?

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 laugh.gif
