The Black Ninjia Turtle hit the streets I think three years ago as a special limited edition and I fell instantly in love with it.
But, I didn't get one...
The edition was sold out fast as hell and soon the prices rocketed in the 2nd hand market.
The watch now commands up to triple amount of the original price; quite steep, I'd say...
So, I was thrilled when upon recommendation of [mention]ASCIWhite[/mention] I browsed the pages of "dialmaker-in-China" at Aliexpress and found the Black Ninja Dial as a 50 layer C3 lume homage. It became even more interesting when I spotted an excellent quality 1:1 black PVD Turtle case and corresponding hands @ Namoki's.
Now, I was all set to correct the missed opportunity of the past
Ingredients:
Dial: Dialmaker-in-China
Case, bezel, ceramic bezel insert, CB, hands: Namoki
NH35 movement: Aliexpress
Strap: Original Turtle strap for my gen SRP777 Turtle
On to the pics.
Perhaps you are up to a small competition and try to spot the differences to the gen version
And of course, a lume shot.
Mind, the watch was one was illuminated with normal light only prior to the shot and not with a UV torch
Thanks for looking.

What a sneaky beast! The fat lume is something else. You clearly un-missed that opportunity now

Re: A Seiko SRPC49 "Black Ninja Turtle" Homage
Thanks for your kind words and encouragement.
Yes, the bar.
The bar is actually a case for Japanese chopsticks.
It is made from wood, as are the chopsticks, and covered with many layers of differently colored lacquer.
I found it way back when living in Japan on a flea market in Sendai or Tokyo, can't really remember.
