Well, the Seiko 4R36 movement is a reliable and dependable workhouse; and for better or for worse, you would find the same movement beating inside the Seiko Re-issued Turtles. The Zimbe and PADI Green versions are more costly as these come in limited quantities compared to the standard Turtle.

Thanks for the info. As the Zimbe is about 3 times the price of an ordinary turtle thats why i am curious to find out whats beating inside.
