New bezels for the new Turdles? I’ll definitely be getting the green one.
The cyclops is stupid, but an easy fix.

Uff, definitely will need to get the green one too (and put a non cyclops crystal).

Agreed - love the green but not the cyclops

I’m really liking the new Turtles.

Waffle dial, sapphire crystal, ceramic insert and that new bezel looks very grippy vs that over polished POS they’re using now.

Though that wart will definitely have to be replaced!

I like the PVD version, though the green dial is pretty cool.

Thinking we probably touched on Seiko's new Prospex Automatic Field
Compass. Kind of remember them back during Baslworld.

Seems like the watches have 43mm stainless steel cases, 200 meter
water resistance, Hardlex crystals, internal compass bezel, black,
and green dials with Lumibrite coated hands, and also markers,
leather straps, and Seiko 4R36 automatic behind an exhibition
case-back also.

A few pictures...

Oh man, sorry J.

Looks like I was putting my post together during the time you put yours up. :oops: So sorry.

Ceramic bezel insert? Where can I get more info? Has the model number for the green one already available?

I'm having bad thoughts... that dial on a black Turdle case would look awesome, but the different bezel and bezel insert might make the conversion difficult (thinking about using the STO black case). Guess I could also have someone "PVD" the case.

Yes! A black case/bezel/crown would be killer and finish it off with black outline hands plus a orange tipped second hand

Yes! it’s a ceramic insert

I wish Seiko would offer at least one of these in a no-date configuration. That said, this one ^ with a flat sapphire with no AR coating could work....if I needed another watch.

Not sure if we already touched on these new Seiko Prospex SUMO Chronographs.

The watch will have 44.5mm stainless steel case, 200m R, a sapphire
crystal, blue, and black dials with LumiBrite coated hands, and markers,
Seiko V192 Solar caliber, stainless steel bracelet, or rubber strap, and more.

Have a few pics right below...

If the new Alpinist looks anything like this pic, I'm sold (and, yes, I like the cyclops).
