Those new Shark Divers with matching sapphire bezels are looking very sweet! My Turtle arrived Thurs morning as we were pulling out for an extended 4 day weekend...went with the Yellow dial which I'm enjoying quite a bit!  Finally enjoying it this evening!  |

Ugh... I broke down and ordered an orange-dialed Turtle. I've wanted a Certina for a long time now and this just pushes all the right buttons. The only downside is now I'll have to unload one or two to appease the better half! |

Do you find the bezel hard to read? It seems sort of thin. |

I'm just realizing that the Turtle is different that the Tortuga when I received the Helson Newsletter in my email I didn't paid attention to it!!!This Certina homage looks sooo cool!!! The yellow dialed diver would be a perfect acquisition  |

lume shot which really doesn't do it justice imo...the entire bezel glows through the sapphire,and has a very cool effect. Attachment: 008.JPG (Downloaded 60 times) |

Thanks Oscar! The Turtle is the perfect size for my wrist. It wears a lot like the Doxa 1200T in both case size/weight and dial size, and the orange is just about identical to the orange on the 1000T/1200T. Build quality/fit and finish is on par w/Doxa, too. Overall, I'm extremely pleased with this watch and what Peter has been putting out as of late! |

The caseback (height profile) is much thicker than the Certina, JMHO. The thin sapphire bezel and slope up case makes the dial opening a mere 27mm. Unfortunately my yellow Turtle has to go back. Didn't "look" right. Object does appears bigger than real life....Now I learned. Next project... |
