One of the new Seiko turtles. Surprisingly well made. Hacks, silky smooth hand winding, and accurate. All for under $300.
Yes it’s 4R36 and automatic movement but with hand winding capability as well. I’ve read somewhere that it’s not supposed to be hand-wound on daily basis but only to head start the watch occasionally.
Yup. Auto, hand windable, hackable, day, date, retro design, +2sec on this one, and <$300. What is not to like.
My PADI turtle was -1.7 for all of 2017, then last year it started running -25. My Blue Lagoon LE turtle did the same darn thing, -2 sec/day for the first year in 2017, then dropped to -45 sec/day in 2018. So I put them away until I had time to take them to my watchmaker to have them looked at, then forgot about it.
