Congrats on the Turtle Chris! That is the color I have been eyeing, how are the 20mm lugs working on that size case?

Trent, Brice, and William...thanks for the kind words and congrats on the Turtle!!! thankyou.gif   I'm diggin' the excellent yellow dial!

Trent - I was a bit worried about the 20mm lugs given the case dimensions provided by Helson, but IMO the 20mm lugs work just fine on this case as it definitely wears much smaller due to the tapered bezel and smaller dial diameter (This one is wearing like a 42mm watch to me).  Now, all that said...the stock perforated tropic style rubber is a bit on the short and thin side IMO...I'm thinking the non-tapered Isofrane would really be a great match for this case and provide really nice balance and support!  (I may even try to squeeze one of my 22mm Iso's in there for a fit check).

Brice - FedEx pulled up last Thurs morning as we were headed out for an extended weekend with the family...did not get to check it out until last night when we got back home.
