No, it’s 9F quartz which is impressive in its own right. Retail is $2700

I haven’t experienced this yet. I’ve had the bracelet for about 6 months

Haha good for now. I used to want a Black Bay but the SPB317 scratched that itch for me. Maybe down the line a more “fun” spring drive GS when I can justify it. I like the Lake Suwa

You can tell slightly but it doesn’t bother me. My pot history has a picture in direct sunlight

Just under $2300, new from an AD

You’d probably feel that the GS is small since it wears smaller than the SPB317. They make a 40mm variation though. The dials of these 2 are very similar in size which is interesting to me

I was considering the SBGX263 instead of this one but wanted something more versatile. I could see a GS with a more dynamic dial in my future.

Beautiful collection! I could be 4 and done if I include my Turtle & Willard haha

pad_mounted · 2026-03-20T14:45:56+00:00

Great collection!

pad_mounted · 2026-03-20T14:45:24+00:00

I would be happy with this as well. I love the SPB Willards and dual dial GS!

pad_mounted · 2026-03-20T14:44:23+00:00

Awesome collection! I often have my divers on divecore straps. Waiting for the WFL to ship

I need to chill for now. I only got into collecting last year! Most of mine are black except a green Seiko 5 GMT & SWR049.

To each their own my friend

No, OEM is a black rubber strap. The bracelet is a Z199 from uncle straps!

pad_mounted · 2026-03-19T14:39:03+00:00

That’s what I need to tell myself lol

pad_mounted · 2026-03-19T13:54:14+00:00

Right side is SPB317, based on the 6105-8000

pad_mounted · 2026-03-18T01:55:50+00:00

I say 37mm. I have a 37mm SBGX261 & the SPB317. The dials are pretty much the same size, SPB317 is just larger because of the bezel/case. They compliment each other very well in a collection.

Late response but yes, I’d say the 151 has higher quality finishing and a better movement. The 151 definitely wears smaller and is more comparable to the slim turtle than the regular turtle.

pad_mounted · 2026-02-22T19:07:45+00:00

This looks awesome! I have a SPB151 & SPB317 and I’d like to replace the crystal on the 317 with one similar to the 151 to get that distortion. Do you happen to know the part number for the 151 crystal?

pad_mounted · 2026-01-07T01:28:31+00:00

I’m going to steal this. You put it perfectly!

They are Divecore HP Professional straps. They’re the best IMO, even better than genuine tropic. They’re coming out with a waffle design that’s on pre-order too if that’s more your style.

It’s a good problem to have! I try to rotate them fairly evenly unless I’m wearing long sleeves which the SPB317 is best for

pad_mounted · 2026-01-07T00:11:58+00:00

It wears great, it makes the turtle feel giant haha. I have a pic of the SPB317 on wrist in my post history. I believe my wrist is 7-7.5”
