New to me today , 1991 16610 with some nice patina and one previous owner . I'll probably wear it for a while then send it in for a good overhaul ,as it will be a long term keeper .

A couple of coworkers and myself have 9 Turtles between us, so we hauled 'em in and did a conference room GTG today!

Well...12 if you count some Willards.

Some nice ones include the SRPF77 Dark Manta.

Can't go wrong with the basic black SRPE93 (777 update) with nicely done lume at 3.

The SRPH35 Thai 30th LE is nice...still unworn too!
Believe it or not these are actually different: SPRA21 vs the updated SRPE99, but a transitional one that hadn't gotten the lume at 3 yet. The backs are different...Air Divers 200 vs Divers 200...but I forgot to photograph...

I really like the Turtle shell SRPH59. This series of red/green/blue models are the only King Turtles without the cyclops bar..YaY!
I had to look this up, but it appears you and your colleagues put together a massive bale of turtles. How many of us wish we could have a GTG at work! Thanks for sharing.

I neglected to post this WRUW from quite a while back, as I just found an archive of photos from an old cell phone.


One of our jobs as parents is to "launch" our children into what we hope is a happy, successful life. Here, the launching was more literal as I helped our daughter and son-in-law schlep gear to the base of Yosemite's El Capitan, before their pre-dawn blastoff for the summit.

They reached the top after spending five days/four nights working their way up the wall, more or less through the centre of the photo.
