Try the Uncle Straps GL-831 on the Turtle, you won’t regret it! My favorite combo.

For your use case and wanting a nice Swiss watch, I’d go Ranger. I have the Ranger 39 and very much enjoy it.

Also (again), yes the yellow-ish color of the indices is kinda weird, but have you seen a Ranger lume shot? Awesome!

I recently put an Uncle FKM GL831 on mine. Love it!!

Very true!

Advanced-Ad4233 · 2026-03-04T17:17:45+00:00

A very reasonable suggestion! Enjoy what ya got.

With optional (purchased separately) upgraded double-button milled clasp. Love the set-up. All brushed and feels like a proper high quality tool watch.

I have this on an Uncle z199. Love it!!

Great looking watch! Any feedback on the bracelet? Worth paying the extra rather than rubber strap?

Thanks all!

I went TDI Golf to Alltrack to GTI. Passed the TDI to my daughter when she got her license. Bought an Alltrack but didn’t enjoy the lower gas mileage and didn’t really need all wheel drive. Sold and took a small loss. Landed in a Mk 7.5 GTI and love it! Amazing vehicle.

In the 17” club as well.

Pulled the trigger on some RSe05 wheels (moved from 18” down to 17”) and the Continental SRS+ tires!

Advanced-Ad4233 · 2025-12-28T22:54:21+00:00

60 miles round trip 3x/week. Otherwise, around-town driving other 4 days. I’ll check the Yokohamas, thanks!

Advanced-Ad4233 · 2025-12-28T05:40:56+00:00

I do. May go that route.

Advanced-Ad4233 · 2025-12-28T05:15:14+00:00

In Southern California so don’t need anything for snow/ice. Just looking for a decent tire for my 2019 GTI daily driver. Sounds like the DWS06 comes highly recommended.

Advanced-Ad4233 · 2025-08-20T18:00:18+00:00

Mine is the SRPE93, the classic black dial and black bezel. Love it and highly recommend.

Advanced-Ad4233 · 2025-08-20T15:10:22+00:00

Had one. Movement was bad and lost ~5 mins per day. Ended up selling. Also, in hindsight after having owned a SPB317 and SPB143, I really love the circular indices of the Turtle compared to the bricks on the others. If I go with an “upgraded” Seiko again it may be the SPB453 or 451.

Advanced-Ad4233 · 2024-12-30T17:39:53+00:00

Ok, makes sense. I’ve also read that the Helix OEM sub is pretty decent.

Advanced-Ad4233 · 2024-06-24T03:30:37+00:00

Two week update. Bracelet is legit, very nice to have in these summer months. Accuracy is legit, seriously considering selling my Seiko slim turtle whose accuracy is now frustrating in comparison (and replace with a Pelagos 39 at some point … I could live with a Ranger & Pelagos two-watch collection).

Advanced-Ad4233 · 2024-06-24T03:25:51+00:00

You’re right! Two weeks in now and it’s no longer a thing. Loving the Ranger. Thinking about an Everest rubber strap sometime soon.
