That whole turtle moniker thing really chaps my ass. So next time someone refers to the SRP divers as a "turtle" or any variation thereof, gets to sit on the bench for a day. :stir:

Andrew should run a script on the forum so you can't post the word "turtle"

Anyone see a the DLC on a ballsack that hasn't been bead blasted? I wonder how the finishing looks after the coating is applied. My fear is that my ballsack may be too shiny.

Got Harold's BOR and wasn't happy... The end links were both mangled but I got them straight, and the clasp wouldn't stay closed... kept flapping open with normal wear. So I tried to gently pinch the two flang portions of the clasp and the whole thing folded like a an empty beer can. Not what I expected for $90.

So now I need a 20mm Seiko clasp. Any thoughts? I'm pretty sure the MM300 clasp is 18mm

I will see if I have one. But ping Harold about it. My Bor is great. And so was the one before it. :salute:

Don't get me wrong the bracelet feels great once I straightened the end links. But the clasp latch was terrible on mine and now the entire clasp is toast. I could tell had everything been working great then Harold's quality is really no different from Seiko.

I almost cried when I folded the clasp and popped the rivets as I wanted to take it on my annual fishing trip this weekend. Back to rubber she goes. :crybaby:

Just perfect.
Yes, but better for NAFT if longer.

I can't disagree. Had they retained the original size it would have been perfect.

The thing is- Seiko's SRP line is huge, it's not just the turdles, I think it's damn near everything with that movement in it

The MM300 expansion clasp fits 18mm at the links. Harold sells one sourced from the MM Tuna which is Ti/Stainless. Seiya sells the MM300 clasp, which is SS and a few bucks cheaper (and not as dark as the TI/SS Tuna). But none are 20mm.

Thanks. I ended-up finding a Seiko divers clasp on ebay.
