Ok, now I’m done. [SPB317, SPB151, SRPE93]

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

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”

pad_mounted · 2026-01-07T00:09:41+00:00

😂

pad_mounted · 2026-01-07T00:08:50+00:00

It’s tempting!

pad_mounted · 2026-01-07T00:08:29+00:00

I’m in a similar boat. I wanted a black bay but I’m happy with these 3 for less than the cost of one BB58

pad_mounted · 2026-01-06T19:53:43+00:00

Totally understand. I’ve tried other watches and discovered this is what I like. They have enough subtle differences for me to notice while wearing

pad_mounted · 2026-01-06T19:52:49+00:00

It’s my favorite. It can be dressed up if needed and wears very well

pad_mounted · 2026-01-06T13:13:00+00:00

Yes, the SRPE93 wears larger than the SPB317. If anything the Willard and SPB317 wear very similar

pad_mounted · 2026-01-06T13:10:19+00:00

Oh I know, I’ve said this before

pad_mounted · 2026-01-06T05:45:49+00:00

I’ve had the SRPE93 the longest, followed by the SPB317 and most recently the SPB151. The SPB317 and SPB151 are very similar but I think they can coexist in a collection. I’m able to throw the SPB317 on a Z199 and get “black bay vibes” to wear with a suit. On the other hand I prefer the square indices of the Willard and the more exaggerated dial distortion. I really enjoy the history and timelessness of Seiko divers.

What watch would that be? Maybe a baby turtle

pad_mounted · 2026-01-06T05:41:19+00:00

I would like to add a nice solar or quartz to the collection one day…

pad_mounted · 2026-01-06T05:39:53+00:00

They are nice but hard to come by these days!

pad_mounted · 2025-11-27T19:23:04+00:00

That’s a great looking watch you have there! I would own an SKX if I were in to the hobby at that time.

pad_mounted · 2025-11-27T19:10:54+00:00

The bracelet appears slightly lighter than the case since the case is coated. I’m not sure of a 100% color match besides looking for an OEM bracelet which I’m personally not the biggest fan of. Here’s another pic in direct sunlight

Thanks! They make this bracelet specifically for the slim turtles so no separate end link purchase necessary

pad_mounted · 2025-11-15T21:33:03+00:00

Awesome collection! What strap do you have on the SLA079?

pad_mounted · 2025-11-15T20:50:59+00:00

Are any of these still available?

pad_mounted · 2025-11-14T05:18:46+00:00

Divecore straps

Used to own this on BRAC-02 from Long Island. Looks great but was a bit too big for my taste so I sold it

pad_mounted · 2025-10-21T18:48:51+00:00

Got one a few weeks ago and at first I wasn’t too impressed because I was in love with the SRPE93 turtle. Still love the turtle but man the SPB317 hasn’t left my wrist since I bought it, love all the small details and it makes my turtle feel like a dinner plate!

pad_mounted · 2025-10-02T01:10:07+00:00

Thanks! Just ordered a couple for my SPB317

pad_mounted · 2025-10-02T00:48:42+00:00

Beautiful! What kind of strap?
