Seiko Padi Revisited

Post by CarloDWC » Sun Feb 02, 2020 11:25 am

I used to have a Seiko Turtle Padi for quite some time, then sold it. I recently got one back on a trade which had already a double domed sapphire crystal, ceramic bezel insert on a coin edge bezel. I installed some Tuna hands and below is the result. :grin:

Would prefer a different chapter ring without the red marks but for the moment that's what is on it. I just wanted to share a couple of pics. Please excuse the fingerprint, dust and lint... :o

Looks good, but I really like the Pepsi bezel.

I dig it, but chapter ring has to go if you're keeping the blue bezel insert. The hands look great!

Thank you for the kind words guys.

Yes Joe, I definitely would prefer another chapter ring... Working on it... :grin:

Thank you for the kind words and yes, the case has been polished. Not by me but one of the former owners.
