New 2020 "King Turtle"

Anyone else see this?

Reportedly being released January 18th. Ceramic bezels, sapphire crystals. And now with a cyclops, too.

I thought Mitch was King Turtle

I almost love it... but so often Seiko seems to do that one thing that puts me off (in this case the cyclops).

Who do we use / suggest for cyclops removal?

They are already on sale on Ebay for $550-600.

Definitely don't like the cyclops, I also don't like the cream colored seconds hand on the black and green ones...

I generally like the cyclops, but not in a day/date configuration like this. Not sure why, but it looks off to me.

I also got excited for a Turtle with a factory Sapphire Crystal, and then I read "cyclops.."...

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

They always almost get it right.

Love them and it's enough to get me to think a NAFT works for my wrist for the 10th time, but as said the cyclops can GTFOH.

This would have been a great opportunity to make a 6105 at a similar price point, which would have sold like crazy, but instead they make an unobtanium LE of that, and give us this...

I just got this in the mail yesterday digging it. Bead blasted, ceramic lumed bezel 12hr, great lume, hacks and winds, double domed saphire:

and no magnifier

My AD just got these King Turtles in yesterday, so I drove over there today to check them out.

They’re legit

I’m really digging the green version

The waffle dial is pretty cool IRL

The brushed hands & hour marker surrounds are a nice touch as well. The new bezel design with ceramic insert is executed very well with excellent bezel action. Much better than my 777 & PADI.

The candy bar cyclops is a no go

Much nicer under sunlight.

The special edition Great White dial just pops in the sunlight

Of course I had to try the black dial too.

I gave the Arnie another look

Besides the candy bar Seiko did a great job on these

I do like those.

That cyclops is downright obnoxious. Otherwise they look great.

Cyclops and waffle dial are a miss for me.

Those look great. The way my eyes are going I can use the cyclops

Are the straps silicon or rubber?

I really like the green version.

They are silicone. But seiko does a very nice silicone. Doesn’t really attract lint and is very comfortable.
