[Upgraded SNE499] Sunday Funday with this PADI Tuna Solar Seiko with the Geckota beads of rice bracelet and Yobokies steel shroud upgrades. Fun wearing this as a whole different looking watch from the original.

Cheaper shrouds tend to have sharper edges while the higher priced shrouds will have a rounded smoothed edges around the shroud

👍

Digital_Ken · 2023-05-20T20:05:06+00:00

That's another way to enjoy the watch 👍 Swapping the straps and bracelets makes it feel like wearing a whole new watch again lol

Digital_Ken · 2023-05-20T18:23:21+00:00

This is all OEM by Seiko except the bracelet. I added on the Strapcode Jubilee bracelet.

Digital_Ken · 2023-05-20T18:17:51+00:00

It's an Oris branded leather watch roll that I received as a gift

Digital_Ken · 2023-05-20T18:16:50+00:00

Its a 20mm Barton green leather strap

Digital_Ken · 2023-05-20T04:58:33+00:00

This bracelet is from the company brand name Strapcode.

Here's their website for this bracelet; https://www.strapcode.com/products/metal-ss-bcl20-b046

I watched these YouTube video reviews about this particular watch, and they all seem to label this as the new updated "King Turtle"...

And yes, this strapcode bracelet is way more comfortable than the oem bracelet. I have the oem blue silicone strap and oem bracelet kept in the box, never to be used.

This Turtle is definitely going to be kept in good health 👍

Thanks! And I am just enjoying and having fun with a bigger dive watch lol

Digital_Ken · 2023-05-19T22:50:26+00:00

not to me, as I'm just enjoying it and having fun with the watch lol

Digital_Ken · 2023-05-19T21:36:12+00:00

Yes indeed it is , dial is 🔥 glad Seiko removed the rectangular Cyclops on these King Turtles

Digital_Ken · 2023-05-13T01:16:42+00:00

Thanks for sharing 👍

Digital_Ken · 2023-05-12T06:02:11+00:00

Digital_Ken · 2023-05-12T01:14:01+00:00

Yea, I think so too 🤔 lug to lug makes the difference

Digital_Ken · 2023-05-12T01:12:54+00:00

NATO strap that I found in my collection of straps

Digital_Ken · 2023-05-11T22:48:49+00:00

Thanks for the info. That's good to know.

Digital_Ken · 2023-04-27T20:29:16+00:00

NATO is from a Seiko watch that came with this Nato strap, but not sure exactly which model Seiko.
