New Prospex divers to be released in 2016...

[dukerules]

I just love seeing all these grown up ballers getting collectively excited over a plain old Seiko. Gets back down to what it's all about: pure enthusiasm.

+1. That's what it's all about. A cool watch is a cool watch, whether it cost you $300 or $30,000.

I had a chance to check out Jeff's yesterday, very nice! I'm sure I will be adding one down the road

Can't agree more
And it's all about the fun of the hobby not about the highest pride, ahem price , tag

[Jeep99dad]

These really look nice.
Is there any pussy wristed like me who got one?
6.5?
I afraid it's going to be too big for me

Since I've lost weight my wrist is under 7", maybe 6 3/4" ish if that helps.

I got 5 straps out to try on it and decided on a tropic strap for today. It's the cheap $10 one from Ofrei but it does the job. I like the combo and how comfortable it is.

It's not a fucking turtle.

The both of you need to stop going to WUS. It's clearly fucking with your watch lexicon.

Love it on the tropic. I need to check his site, last time I was there he had a minimum order, plus he used some ridiculous shipping method (I think ups) so I was going to need to spend $50 to get the $2 part I needed.

There is a minimum order so I got two of these, one in 20 and one in 22mm. Shipping wasn't cheap but maybe $10?
So still about $15/strap IIRC. Not bad.
It's not the best rubber but it does the job. It's short tough. May not woot for wrists > 7 1/2"

Thanks Brice. I had just checked. The minimum order isn't a problem, I'd just order a 20 & 22. But the Fed Ex shipping bugs me, I hate paying more for shipping than the product I'm buying. Once I get over that I might order them.

Jeff, let me know if you want to get an Ofrei order for these going. We can split the shipping, and one of us can mail the other of us the straps in a $2 envelope.

Great idea. I can place an order tomorrow, so if anyone else wants in let me know.

Brice, do these take the fat Seiko spring bars?

[CesarG]

I think we should just start calling them Truffles.

[blowfish89]

TURTLE is a fine name.

[hoppyjr]

TURTLE is a fine name.

For a turtle, yes.

For a watch, fuck no.

[toxicavenger]

how about "cooter"?

[BSears]

I second "cooter". Seiko Cooter. Yep, that works. Truffles is a close second.
