The Arnie is nice, probably too big for me but would love to try one out. The Green NAFT will be mine for sure.

joe it is about 2mm bigger than the solar tuna. it does wear larger but with the short lugs it is manageable.

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.

agreed. it is one of the few silicone straps I actually like.

If it's similar to the black strap that comes with the SRP777, it's a great strap.

its a cool watch as is,
but I actually agree with you guys here....
the cyclops just doesn't work that well on these.

also I prefer the look of the regular turtle bezel grips as well.

also (where others will disagree with me) I don't mind seikos hardlex crystal.....its been great for me on my seikos!
Even wore a skx007 daily and the crystal still looks great! (maybe I'm just not crazy hard on my watches, but it sure held up well!)

I’ve been missing a turtle ...been a while since I had one. These look nice and I think I’ll go for the blue variant. Not overly concerned about the cyclops myself. Thanks everyone for the pictures :)
