"The new SRP Prospex series is probably one of the most accurate re-issues, up to now. It's probably an indication of how right Seiko's designers were in the 1970s, when designing the original 63XX series. The new Seiko Prospex SRP series looks as purposeful as when it first entered the market, 39 years ago. The cushion-shaped case (so-called turtle case) of these models is the central vintage element that defines them - and tends to make them so attractive, especially among Seiko aficionados. This cushion-shaped case measures 44.3mm wide with a lug-to-lug height of approximately 46mm. The watch is 14mm thick, and it has a lug-width of 22mm. It's a large watch, for sure, but it's not oversized. Cushion-shaped cases tend to wear a lot smaller on the wrist than their dimensions suggest."
For my Turtle Reissue, I have upgraded the original flimsy and el-cheapo rubber strap to a vulcanised (vanilla-scented) premium diver strap, which is very comfortable and holds the weight of the watch better. Which do you think was the better choice- the Tangerine Orange strap or Navy Blue strap?
I would opine that the Turtle Reissue makes a good addition to one's collection, and I may be hunting for the Turtle Reissue Padi Edition next.
