Seiko Prospex Black "Slim Turtle" Watch Review (SPB317, SPB317J1)
Seiko loves reissues of dive watches from its back catalog. Reinterpretations of the 62MAS, Willard, and Marinemaster models have become quite popular. Seiko has reissued another lesser-known 60s dive watch, the 6105-8000. Seiko refers to it as Prospex SPB317, but the community calls it the Slim Turtle.

Citizen Eco-Drive Promaster Dive Super Titanium Land Mine Watch Review - BN0228-06W
As my collection grows, I'm drawn to higher end, or unique watches. From the latter category is a squared off Citizen diver. Temptation got the best of me, and I purchased the green camo version. I look forward to wearing it this summer, especially with its solar-powered convenience.

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? Keep reading 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.
