Seiko Prospex White "Slim Turtle" Watch Review (SPB313, SBDC171, SPB313J1)
In truth, I often miss my SPB143, which I sold to fund a Prospex LX. It was one of my favorite watches for around $1,000, and had very few flaws. I chose to buy the SPB313 because I liked its white dial with black hands and indices, but my hope was also that the Slim Turtle could fill the shoes of the 62MAS. Was it able to?

Seiko King Turtle Grenade Watch Review - SRPE05 (SBDY051)
So why is this Turtle called the King? Seiko has likely noticed the popular trend of enthusiasts modifying their Seiko divers with upgraded parts. With the newer series of Turtles (and Samurais), Seiko has done the work for us! Is it worth the price premium over the standard Turtle, or even a modded one?

Seiko SRPC95 (SBDY023) Watch review - The Orange Nemo Turtle Limited Edition
I borrowed this Seiko SRPC95 (a.k.a. Orange Turtle, a.k.a. Nemo Turtle) from a friend for some strap photos. Since I previously owned and heavily modified an SPRC44 "Golden Turtle," and sold it before I started this blog (scroll down for a photo of it), I thought that it would be fun to review another special edition Turtle.

Battle of the Black Dive Watches: Sinn U1 S vs. Seiko Prospex SLA035 MM300 Watch Review (1010.020 vs. Marinemaster 300 SLA035/SBDX033)
Last year, I wrote a tongue-in-cheek piece declaring the Sinn U1 S "The Best Diving Watch Available." Seiko also makes a lot of strong contenders in the dive watch category. I recently picked up a Seiko MM300 diver that, on paper at least, is very comparable to the Sinn. So how does it compare?

Seiko Prospex Black Series Limited Edition "MarineMaster 300" Watch Review - SBDX033 SLA035
Of watches that that I've owned, Seiko is the brand name that shows up most often. Readers have followed my climb up the Seiko ladder. My next planned stop was the MM300, but I jumped a few levels to the Prospex LX Spring Drive. I had thought that I could skip over the MM300, but I could not get it out of my head, and finally purchased the SLA035.
