Just wanted to share with you guys my new watch. My dad bought a Seiko Padi for me out of the blue. My old man is into Seikos for some reason where he has more than 5 Seikos. I told him to get the SRPA21 (Seiko Padi) because I've heard good stories about it. Being generous, he bought two Seiko Padis and gave me one. I've changed the strap because I thought the bracelet, combined with the casing was just too heavy for me. Plus I like Nato straps with tool watches.
I dug out my old Nikon D30 with kit lens to take pics of the watch. The lightbox was purchased a few days ago at a camera shop. I would say that the camera performed pretty well considering it's a 10 year old camera.
Anyone else out there has this watch? Care to share your enjoyment?

Nice guys. I must admit, this watch is a good bang for the buck. Rather hard to beat. I wish it were a tad smaller and less thicker, but all in all at the price point, very satisfied with this watch. :thumbsup:
This a diver bro!

Actually same case n movement as the padi Pepsi
But with different color dial, hands & bezel
The highlight of yellow markers on 3,6,9,12 n second hand looks real good
The sunburst green dial is like padi blue dial
Depend on what u like
The rubber strap is newer series
Softer
Feel As good as the prospex diver

Is anyone else here having a Turtle episode? I just can't seemed to get enough of this re-issue. Pepsi, PADI, Blue, and another in-coming PADI (will most probably be starting the mod works on this since already have one in standard form) next week. The Emerald will be in-coming soon. Then, that Blue Lagoon looks the part too. At this rate, I'll have to clear off more watches to keep to my self-imposed limit as per winder slots.

I guess we were rather alike in our love towards the Seiko Turtle. Pending the arrival of the Blue Lagoon LE in transit, the PADI SE and Emerald LE scratch the itch.

Having other Turtles around do help.
