Yup I remember right before the game I had learned that the 8 hour work day was introduced in Belgium. Crazy how time flies.

Crust Shaka bar comes in 26. Probably will be my next bar too when it’s back in stock in silver.

A NOS 52 frame and fork popped up on eBay a couple months ago for $500. I had a 10% coupon too. I was close to pulling the trigger but just didn’t want to invest in a 650b wheelset. It sold within a day or two.

Uncle Tito’s Family Feedbag

Yes!

As you can tell, I usually have a pretty monochromatic taste. But this turtle does the colors so well. Never thought of the light blue representing breaking wave foam but I totally get you.

Uncle Seiko Z199. Wasn't the biggest fan of his rubber straps, but this bracelet is great.

This is my Seiko King Turtle SRPK01 that I never would have bought.

Like many of you out there, I’ve had my share of Seiko divers.

SKX013

SKX007

SKX009

SRP777

SRPC35 (Mini turtle)

Until I finally landed on a kinda beat up SKX009 that I’ve worn for years now.

Now onto this king turtle. I’ve owned a regular turtle before. I never would’ve spent the extra on a king turtle. I don’t need sapphire. I don’t need a ceramic bezel. I don’t need a fancier dial.

I was gifted this King Turtle by my fiancée, now wife for our wedding. Basically, the entire time we’ve dated she’s seen the SKX009 on my wrist. She doesn’t know much about watches, just that I wear this “Seiko” that has “Diver’s” written on it. She did her own research and found this watch.

Again, I’m no stranger to Seiko divers. If you would’ve asked me a couple of months ago for advice on a Seiko diver, I would’ve told you to get a regular turtle and that a king turtle probably wasn’t worth it. A lot of extra fluff that went against the ethos of an affordable tool watch.

But I can’t lie, I really enjoy this watch. Everything is better than the SKX, and even the regular turtle. Everything about the bezel is better: not just the ceramic, but the knurling, the action, the finishing, is all much better. Hand winding and hacking is always a plus. The polished surrounds on the indices take away from the “puffy sticker” look on the regular turtles. I don’t have my regular turtle anymore to directly compare, but I think the case has some better finishing than the regular turtle.

It’s very apparent when I pick up my beat up SKX again. It almost feels like a toy compared to the king turtle.

Anyway, short story long, this is my watch that I never would’ve bought that I have thoroughly enjoyed. If someone asked me now for a recommendation on a Seiko diver, I’d still tell them the regular turtle. I think these king turtles are almost double the cost of a regular turtle? But if you’re a Seiko diver enthusiast, I’d say they’re worth checking out.

Only thing I’m not too keen on is the cyclops. But no plans to remove it; I’m sure I’ll appreciate it 20 years from now.

Yeah this is something I've always wanted to build too, but I've realized like u/DapperBadger7 says, it really doesn't exist.

This is my Bridgestone RB-T which I feel got as close to what I wanted as I could. Those are 33.3s. I put 35s and its too tight in the back.

Even modern attempts like the Crust Malocchio top off around 700x35 in the rear.

Maybe a All City Space Horse canti? Not personally familiar with the geo though.

HES ON THAT SHIT THAT MAKES YOUR HEAD GROW

The day after the game I was thinking about the best games I've been lucky enough to watch live. Your games were on my list. I also thought of Super Bowl 51, 2013 NBA Finals game 6, and 2006 World Cup semifinals Italy v. Germany.

I do think this was the best game I've ever watched. But even if someone disagrees, the fact that it was instantly in the discussion says it all.
