I know somewhere down this slippery slope I will end up with all 4 of these watches.
However right now I’m having a hard time in deciding which to get next!

I purchased the SKX009K2 a few months ago, and I really enjoy it. The jubilee bracelet is very cheap and flimsy, but it looks cool on the wrist. The watch itself is very solid. Looks great on natos. Hard to beat in the 200 price range.

The flimsy bracelet is one of the most redeeming qualities about the SKX, in my opinion! Might be flimsy, but it's so comfortable.

Go for the SKX or the SRP Turtle. The SKX is a classic, and if you don't have one already, you need one. I have had my SKX009 for over 13 years, and it's served me well everywhere I've worn it, including combat deployments. It's rugged and a real tool.

The SRP is a great looking watch, and quite comfortable. I also like the red highlights on the hands/chapter ring. It's on my list of "want to buy" watches.

I think if you have all 4 of those watches one day, you'll have all of your dive watch bases covered. Good luck!

Superbri22 · 23 February 2019, 06:40 AM

Thanks! The Skx is definitely on top of the list!

I have have the Save the Ocean style Turtle, and I love it. The dial is really quite something, and I find myself checking it out all the time. The model itself is also really comfortable and wears a lot smaller than I had anticipated. So I guess that's an endorsement for both that STO Samurai and the Turtle up there!

Also, I recently acquired an SKX and have had a hard time wearing anything else. Super comfy and just an all around cool piece. Happy hunting

rudestew · 23 February 2019, 06:46 AM

Yep skx and that jubilee is worn in out the box .

MP5 · 23 February 2019, 07:11 AM

I personally sold my 3 SKX as I got a Save The Ocean Turtle and it wears so much better than the SKX. I got to say I will prolly get another skx pepsi jubilee at some point but For me right now its the Turtle then going up the line a 077/79 or 051/053

Ha that is true. There is something kind of cool about the character of the hollow link jubilee. Plus super cheap to replace if need be.

Locust · 23 February 2019, 08:06 AM

Save the ocean. 200%

PADI turtle. I have the SKX 009 on an oyster, and it’s super comfortable too. That said, the Turtle comes with a steel and rubber bracelet, and I find the rubber more comfortable and it somehow fits better too.

Chute · 23 February 2019, 10:31 AM

PADI Turtle

Frogman · 23 February 2019, 12:05 PM

PADI turtle, then the Sami gets my vote.

august1410 · 23 February 2019, 12:09 PM

I have the SRP777 and love it. It's my everyday watch. I have a small wrist and it fits very well.

Seiko makes it so easy, it’s difficult.

My rec for your first is the black Turtle, but you can’t stop at one.

I own the PADI Turtle you have pictured and that would be my choice of the four you have listed. I also just purchased the Save the Ocean Turtle and it is also fun.

Superbri22 · 24 February 2019, 01:00 AM

I’ve narrowed it dow to the Padi and the skx009, I guess that’s a start . I have a big wrist that may be why I’m leaning towards the PADI

You can adjust the endlinks on it so it fits better.

1William · 24 February 2019, 11:30 PM

Congratulations on your choice. I don't think that you will regret it and you can always add to your collection. Post some pictures when your watch arrives.

David cote · 26 February 2019, 05:32 AM

My SKX is almost 19 years old and has never failed me once! After 19 years the crown broke this year and I had it fix regards of cost, I mean it’s not like a had to pay RSC prices here!

Can't go wrong with any but among these my favourite is probably the PADI Red/Blue Turtle.

Dude, is that a scratch on the sapphire and a misaligned 12 o'clock marker???

Kidding! Congrats on the PADI! Damn good watch for the price!
