Whisky has killed more men than bullets, but most men would rather be full of whisky than bullets.

That looks great, I just wish it did not have the 5 logo and the "sports" mark... it could be a good base for some projects too...

Re: Kinda Cool Seiko 5 Turtle...
Why do so many people hate the 5 logo ?! Most of the time I read where people wish the applied "SEIKO 5" badges weren't there.
Imo, that's detail, extra effort & more costly than just stamping it w/paint. Especially for watches in that $ range.
Re: Kinda Cool Seiko 5 Turtle...
Because the “5” sucks. It is a constant reminder that you’re wearing a cheap watch. Most people want their inexpensive watch to appear to cost more than it does.

Re: Kinda Cool Seiko 5 Turtle...sorry Scotty!
WHY "5" ?
From the very start, Seiko 5 was created to be a watch whose performance would serve the demanding needs of the new 1960’s generation, who cared less for tradition and more about life. The watch had five key attributes :
1. Automatic winding
2. Day/date displayed in a single window
3. Water resistance
4. Recessed crown at the 4 o’clock position
5. Durable case and bracelet
Because it grew out of the watch itself, the name Seiko 5 was deemed to express what made Seiko great and was chosen. A simple and memorable name for a simple but serious watch.

That was fun
Edit, on a serious note that's a cool watch, wonder if you can just scrape off 5
