Please tell me how they are - I particularly fancy the Sea Turtle.

Replying to this thread as I say this one yesterday - new to me!
SPRC25 - lovely fade on the dial. Very handsome.
Got the same mail this morning.
Must resist..........

The Seiko Turtle comes with an extra grey rubber strap and both models are limited to 2018 pieces - they're actually numbered unlike the previous models!
Very, very nice! I flipped my last (pepsi) Samurai but that one has got me well and truly hooked!
Just have to point out that while the writer in the Monochrome article is clearly wetting himself in excitement over "the first European exclusive limited editions" I have to point out the 2017 IAAF chronograph, limited to 750 pieces and marketed UK only as far as I'm aware. We're on our way out, but I'm sure we're still Europe...

I must remind myself I'm saving up for one of Eddie's Caribbean remakes!!!

@kevkojack , i'm sorry I answered before I saw your link .
Both are nice and I'm seriously tempted by the Samurai.
If the Sammy had the plain dial like the Turtle it would be perfect...just not sure about the "Clou de Paris" / waffle effect on the dial, it would have been better to use a different dial effect such as they did on the PADI / Blue Lagoon Samurai's, otherwise it's just a different, but nice, colour scheme to the regular black & blue Samurai's - a shame, but still hovering over the buy button!

Well.....that’s me a couple of quid lighter!!
Gotta go hone and break that bad news to the wife.

Wow! the Turtle is very Zimbe-looking. Perhaps even nicer than the Zimbe :)
I'm passing through Derbyshire over the weekend ... I might pop in and have a shufty.
May I ask, does the watch come with a special box?
If so, (forgive me if i sound rude but ...) any chance of a photo ;) Just nice to know "what you get for yer money".
Thanks for heads-up, and the side-by-side photo.
[QUOTE=LAC13;4922500]Turtle:
A *huge* thank you :)))
I was worried that it might come in the rather dull generic Seiko box (as shown on the Jura website). The grey strap looks gooooood!
Oh man! I'm gonna be so skint! (I don't have a basement ... so, looks like it's the leaky shed for me!)

Chop Chop lads - these will sell out in a flash and then be £800+ in 6 months due to Asian/US collector demand
I've just ordered a Sea Turtle from Jura. Expected delivery on Tuesday.

The Samurai is sold out at Jura

Have any sold at that price though?
I’m tempted, but think I’m going to resist.
I do love Seiko's though, and the turtle in particular.
Just ordered my turtle, think it will look great alongside my black series

Just persuaded my brother-in-law to buy one! 😅
Hmm, i too just pulled the trigger. As per mine earlier message, I've now had to move to the shed ... with its leaky roof (and it's raining!) ... but, hey! Life-in-the-shed WITH the Dawn Grey has got to be better than a warm, central-heated, dry house, right????
Just a wee heads-up:
it's the first time I've bought from Jura, and fortunately there was a discount code (INTRO10), which got me 10% off ... but the code only worked if I spent over £500. So, i just threw something else in the basket, and got 10% off both. Now feeling warmly satisfied ;))

Just ordered the turtle, really like the look of it. Code SEIKO6 gives 6% off, saving around £25.
Both still available at seikoboutique.co.uk
Samurai looks fantastic in the pictures, I have a blue lagoon version and I bought my oldest son the black edition for his 18th in the summer.
I think the grey looks on point, I am going to try and check out the grey dawn samurai in a bit as I think I know where one is.
Does anyone think these watches will sell out completely?
They’ll sell out alright, as will the next special edition variant, and the next one, and the one after that etc etc....
