You don't seem to see the blue turtle as much as the other two

SKX007 is a classic and is a more wearable size.

Go the turtle, its a much better watch, hacking, hand winding, drilled lugs, better finished and heftier, better bracelet, better applied markers and lume, more variety with dials, 120 click bezel.
lug to lug they are about the same, unless you like the look of the SKX better or have a very small wrist id go the turtle.
The SKX is no longer the best entry level seiko diver imo and hasnt been for a long time.
Its worth owning as a cult classic in its own right but id never recommend it over a sami or turtle.
