I often think a watch without a date is lacking. However, when wearing on a day the date is not necessary to remember it is nice.

I鈥檓 wearing the cinncinatus which it seems is becoming popular in micro brands although apparently the white dial is more sought after. The maroonish one was what caught my eye when I bought it.

It seems Henry archer makes some nice watches. I鈥檝e seen a number of them that look nice. I think they are made in Canada but I need to double check that.

It鈥檚 nice to have well made microbrands around incase you want to try something different but don鈥檛 want to drop 8-9k or whatever.

SLIM TURTLE
SEIKO caliber 6309 case ref.# 729A F1
Black dial with Blue and Safety Red bezel insert
originally paired with GL831 natural rubber divers strap ...
can also be paired with Stainless Steel Z199 bracelet originally used/paired with the 7548 diver series, this bracelet is not original to a slim turtle,

NOTE - the slim turtle DOES NOT USE the same watch case used by the 7548 quartz diver.





A small, proportionate Suwa logo increases confidence in authenticity.

The Suwa Logo Size Debate - Seiko has not officially confirmed any shift / change in logo size based on production date / run .... any such claims are not supported by any official Seiko documentation .......... but is entirely collector provided / driven.
