The Seiko addiction has been spreading behind the scenes. During the last couple of months I literally went on a shopping spree with Seiko parts and ended with a few builds I am going to share with you guys hoping to get some feedback.
First one on the block is an SRP turtle build I called Blue Manta (not much fantasy needed, just look at the dial LOL). I still need to figure out a perfect dial alignment but I'll be getting there in due time.
Parts list:
Ali case set.
Bezel was loose so I tightened it up, for the rest a pretty nice case.
Ebay high quality dial
Ali hands
Ali nato strap

Re: SRP turtle "Blue Manta"
They sent me a notification about it today. That's great news although the choice is limited compared to what you can find on ebay... and I also found vintage OEM dials...
On a side note I ordered so much stuff from namoki lately that they offered me to apply for their affiliation program. I dont see me doing it but if I keep buying at this rate next time maybe they're gonna offer me some stocks
