New 2020 "King Turtle"
New 2020 "King Turtle"
Anyone else see this?
Reportedly being released January 18th. Ceramic bezels, sapphire crystals. And now with a cyclops, too.

I almost love it... but so often Seiko seems to do that one thing that puts me off (in this case the cyclops).

Re: New 2020
Who do we use / suggest for cyclops removal?
Re: New 2020
They are already on sale on Ebay for $550-600.
Definitely don't like the cyclops, I also don't like the cream colored seconds hand on the black and green ones...

Re: New 2020
I generally like the cyclops, but not in a day/date configuration like this. Not sure why, but it looks off to me.
Re: New 2020
I also got excited for a Turtle with a factory Sapphire Crystal, and then I read "cyclops.."...
Re: New 2020
Yeah who do we call?

Love them and it's enough to get me to think a NAFT works for my wrist for the 10th time, but as said the cyclops can GTFOH.

Re: New 2020
This would have been a great opportunity to make a 6105 at a similar price point, which would have sold like crazy, but instead they make an unobtanium LE of that, and give us this...

My AD just got these King Turtles in yesterday, so I drove over there today to check them out.
They’re legit
I’m really digging the green version
The waffle dial is pretty cool IRL
The brushed hands & hour marker surrounds are a nice touch as well. The new bezel design with ceramic insert is executed very well with excellent bezel action. Much better than my 777 & PADI.
The candy bar cyclops is a no go
Much nicer under sunlight.
The special edition Great White dial just pops in the sunlight
Of course I had to try the black dial too.
I gave the Arnie another look
Besides the candy bar Seiko did a great job on these

Cyclops and waffle dial are a miss for me.
Re: New 2020 "King Turtle"
Those look great. The way my eyes are going I can use the cyclops

Re: New 2020
Are the straps silicon or rubber?
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.matt009au wrote:Are the straps silicon or rubber?
