A Visit to the Seiko Museum Ginza
The Ginza district of Tokyo known as a great place for watch shopping. Many major brands have boutiques there, such as Patek Philippe and Rolex. I was more focused on seeing Domestic content, however. I was exited to discover that Seiko has a museum there!

Seiko 5KX Sonar SRPJ45 Watch Review - Why It's Not An SKX Replacement (But It Doesn't Matter)
SKX007 and SKX009 were Seiko's most popular dive watches and when it discontinued them, it came as a shock. The Seiko 5 Sports line has the styling of SKX, but lost its tool watch credibility. I was never motivated to own one until now. Can the Sonar step out of the SKX’s shadow?

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)

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.
