Seiko King Turtle black dial

Post by CarloDWC » Sun Nov 08, 2020 7:10 pm

So, today I completed this one. It is a Seiko King Turtle with black dial. I really did not care for the cyclops and so I got a Top Hat crystal, this is the thinner one at only 5mm thickness. Also I liked different hands on it do I replaced the hour and minute ones... I left the seconds hand with the gold shaft because I kind of like it. :grin:

These are my favorite Turtle models, after my touches of course... :thumbsup:

Looks great. Who makes the crystal?

Like the loss of the cyclops, Carlo.


Not feeling the hand-set though, maybe that's because I've been wearing the Doxa and got used to the smaller hour hand. :shrug:

Thank you. The looks of a watch is always a personal thing, taste and preference. This is actually one of the reasons I like to do my projects, I can make them look more closely to what I prefer which in many cases is different then other people. :grin:

One thing that I really like on this model is the bezel/insert.

Here are a couple of pics showing the crystal.
