This is the side by side comparison we all needed. I love these Save the Ocean models, and aim to have both in the collection in due time. The Turtle is probably my favorite overall Seiko diver, and I'm working on collecting multiple colorways.
Thanks for that - glad you found this helpful!
I have the “Blue Whale”; what gorgeous piece. Threw it on a grains of rice bracelet and it’s just great!
Agreed - these do very nicely on beads of rice bracelets!
Both beautiful watches. I would probably pick the Blue Whale. Love the patterns on the dial and this intense shade of blue.
Thanks for the thought Andrea!
Really appreciate the side by side comparison.
Most welcome :)
Excellent comparison of two beautiful watches. Thank you. I own both and usually wear them in succession, the one triggering the urge to wear the other 😊.
Haha nice! How many Seiko do you own?
Great review.. My favs are
Turtle blue whale..
Samurai great white..
Thank you for sharing..
Nice one :)
I had a really hard time deciding between Blue Whale and White Shark, but in the Samurai rather than the Turtle (not a fan of the pillow...). Originally I bought the Blue Whale, but was underwhelmed when I received it. I found it to be “too blue”. Monochrome. The photo that inspired me to order made dial look like light, tropical blue at the top, gradating to deep blue and then black. Like the ocean getting progressively deeper and darker. But the dial is not really like that - it is deep blue and then black. Very little gradation. I still liked it, but did not love it. It sat around in the box and after a while I ordered the Great White to compare. The Blue Whale started to grow on me, particularly the gunmetal bezel and crown, but the imaginative details of the Great White Shark - wave pattern, fin, shark tail second hand, and bezel insert with contrast and texture, pushed it over the top. I wear the Great White. Blue Whale is still “like new” in the box. I am going to hold onto it and see what they go for in a few years.
Thanks for taking the time to share those comprehensive thoughts! I think I am also partial to the Great White myself, as it is overall more versatile in styling and I’ve never been a big fan of dark PVD cases.
Got a 777 (gilded bits) when they first came out (replaced my awful skx) & still gets the most wrist time despite being one of the least pricey watches I own. Love it! Can't decide between these two either, both marvellous. Cheers 👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks for sharing that experience, that’s cool!
I love the look of turtles on bracelets!!
Me too :)
Great video.....love all the Save the Ocean colorways.
Thanks - how many of them did you get?
@@PerthWAtch I just have an SSC701. A Turtle is probably in my future though, when I can get back to diving.
The blue is stunning outdoors. Thanks for the review.
Most welcome :)
Nice video as always! Both pieces are stunning imo and unique in their own rights. If I have to choose 1 only, I would pick the belly whale piece because the dial appeals me more. XD
Thanks for sharing the thoughts!
I think both have really strong points.
The Whale has a really cool contrast between the darker bezel and crown; a feature I really like.
I also like the needle/lollipop seconds hand more than the arrow. I really like the fade-to-black dial.
The Shark has a dial I appreciate a little more in terms of "fun color" and I really really like the waves. When you look at the watch straight on, you almost get a sense of depth as you're looking at waves in the distance. I also think small and very subtle details, like the shark fin, really give the dial that extra oomph that I tend to appreciate (I am glad it's VERY subtle and doesn't distract). The bezel insert has grooves and the font is recessed and not just "printed" on. I also prefer the Dark grey 20 minute portion on the insert more than the similar color on the Whale. I wish the crown or at least the bezel had a darker tone like on the Whale though.
Either one is such a good looking piece. What's enjoyable about these is that they have such a great balance of looks and and utility that they could fit into many occasions. These are the types of dials that make it enjoyable to actually look down to see the time. Catching different lighting and reflections, they have enough variation on the dial to keep it interesting.
I also think there is a little hint of plain "hey, let's have fun" to these watches that many watches DON'T capture the same way.
Yeah very well summarized thoughts there which I am inclined to agree with, and also very astutely noted about the different bezel elements on the great white :)
Love them both, but I like the great white a tad better...its cleaner looks take me there every time. Cheers, Mate
Thanks for sharing the thought Craig!
I’ll have them both thank you 👍 thanks Ivan good video
Haha why not right?
Great vid. GWS for sure...
Thanks :)
It's a hard call the dials are very well done. The Blue Whale, even with the subdued black elements, pops a little more. That said the Great White, has an almost "Easter egg " hidden element charm to it. I just wish either came in that old school iconic SKX case format.
Ooh these dials in an SKX case would be killers!!
Kind of like "Where's Waldo" ocean edition! 😁
@@danspanos There's something in that, always liked the visual treasure hunt of Where's Waldo!
Buying the blue whale on Friday. Very excited and both of your reviews of that particular watch certainly helped me decide on those beauties rather than a boring srp777.
Nice - why wait til Friday??
@@PerthWAtch work etc got it today and it's the made in Japan version!!! Very spinable box too!!
Oh great - box spinability is absolutely critical!
I have the STO turtle blue one. The rubber strap is ok, but I put it on an aftermarket solid really nice engineer bracelet. The turtle wears great and the dial is amazing. Without doubt both these are fantastic, but I would prefer the original rather than the great white just because of the blue gradient dial, and it's easy to change to bracelet. Lovely watches 👍
Thanks for sharing - yeah that blue gradient is mesmerizing, really well done!
I bought the blue whale 5 years ago maybe? On eBay. An open box. Around $260 + shipping. I didn’t like was the metal loop on the silicone style band. The Seiko turtle diver was my dream watch as I was in the service and worked with Navy Divers. They all wore the standard turtle style . 20 years ago I ended up buying a seiko solar diver which was smaller and fit my wrist better. I still wear most of the time.
Wow surprising to hear that they all wear the same watch!
Yes. Back in 1978/79 they were
I just happened to be wearing my great white shark, one of my favorite watches. Very comfortable wears more like a 42 mm in my opinion.
Thank you!
Thanks for sharing - yeah I think it wears smaller thanks to the bezel size and also how the strap can fall directly down to hug the wrist.
Just bought the great white £255 ernest jones in sale bargain love it. First seiko probably won't be the last.
Nice one!! 👍
Good review, beautiful watches.
Thanks :)
Funny, I initially preferred the blue whale. However, by the end of the video I had changed my mind and would go for the great white. Both are great: as is the PADI turtle I have. I skipped over the SKX and went for a turtle and I have never regretted that decision.
Haha how interesting... for the same reasons I stated, or was it some other thing that swayed you?
The bracelet isn't a factor because I would immediately throw it away and replace it. I really like the arrow tipped seconds hand, steel bezel and crown, and dial pattern. I think what really grabs me though is the shade of blue on the great white.
I wouldn't wear either with a shirt and tie.
Both very nice looking watches and wouldn't mind owning either , but if i had to chose only 1 i prefer the dial on version 1 'Blue Whale'
Thanks for sharing the thought Alan
Thanks for the comparative review. They are both great Turtles. I own these two watches and love them, each more than the other at different times 😊.The White Shark has a few more subtle differences on the bezel: the font is slightly less bold (the only Turtle featuring this font, as far as I can tell) and it also has a textured bezel insert (concentric circles similar to a vinyl record).
Thanks for sharing those details, very astute of you to note that subtle azurage pattern on the bezel insert, I didn’t actually notice that! Can’t honestly tell the difference in the font though, despite looking back closely at the pictures again.
Both of these are nice. However, i find other versions more to my liking. I have the SRP777 (Black dial), as well as the Padi Version. The Turtle is a great watch, really nice design.
There is a wetsuit extension on the bracelet. It on the foldover side, niot the micro-adjust side. The is a lever under the safety, and then it’s un-hooks. Really not the best design.
Thanks for sharing - yeah I actually knew about the extension but had brain fade when filming this!
What a coincidence. I bought the "great white" about 3 weeks ago. The "blue whale" is also very nice but the PVD doesn't do it for me.
Awesome! Thanks for sharing!
Jus bought a used blue whale in almost mint condition. Had the crystal changed to a dual dome sapphire with dual AR & also changed the bezel insert to a ceramic one & WOW. That electric blue dial really pops. Now i cannot stop staring at the watch. I also own another STO turtle & samurai manta ray dial & those are also very awesome.
Nice vid Ivan 👍
Hey thanks man :)
Still own an SKX, but no longer buy Seiko's because they are overpriced for what they are. Much better watches out there for less money
Yeah man, you hit on a sore point for many of us there!
hello Ivan. quick question for you. the calibre used here are 4R36. is this movement almost same as NH35?
4R36 is equivalent to NH36a. The former is the designation when used in house, the latter when used by third parties as you know. Some think Seiko make the in house ones slightly better, but I have yet to see any definite proof on the matter.
Cracked me up when you said, I could wear either of these. I was just thinking the same thing! I dont like any texture on my dials but, indoors the sunburst n waves works. Outdoors is a whole new story. I like the deep blue to black vignette while the Outdoor light plays with the dial. Still the ADD in me doesn't like the crown at 4 o'clock or the oval turtle body. Sorry all you lady turtles out there.
Haha oh I didn't know you don't like that 4 o'clock crown... so you don't have any watches with that? Dunno man, I feel you're missing out!
@@PerthWAtch it wouldn't be the first time I missed out because I am pig headed, you might say hard headed. Yes, I have that invicta quarts with Swiss movmnt and sapphire crystal, has the crown at 4 o'clock. I think that's the only one. It also has a nice jubilee bracelet.
I wouldn't pass up a watch that has everything I like just because it has a 4 o'clock crown. I'd just rather not. You're right, thanks for calling me out. I need to let go a bit.
I have the Great white and it's awesome. But the divers extension is really hard to open
Yeah I get what you mean about that extension!!
Could you do an in depth review of the JLC Master Control watch with
the sector dial. Can't find many out there and less information. Was it a
limited edition. That is one beautiful watch. Blue hands. Silver dial.
Gold rotor on back. I want one. Need a review.
No worries man, get someone to send me one and I’ll do the review for sure ;)
i think i still like the black sto 2 best. somehow, the black pvd scheme of the watch gives off a darker contrast to its "gradiated" blue dial
Fair enough... some do like that black version
@@PerthWAtch and it'll give an illusion of it being smaller being black and all. i have a 6.75" wrist so i'm wary of the turtle being a tad too big for me.
I just bought the SRPD 21 this week the thing is freaking awesome I want the blue whale to but
Get it also and have both :)
@@PerthWAtch but would it be wrong to get the srpd23 samurai too?
Haha no right and wrong here... just what you prefer or like :)
Man I've been buying so many Seiko's lately! My next will be the Seiko Padi turtle or a Samurai. Those rainbow lorrikeets are noisy as hell 🤣
Must’ve been mating or something...
@@PerthWAtch This weather being rain makes them very active.
Lovely watches. I have the Seiko Pepsi Turtle version - but my microbrand Turtle's are much better value now than Seiko!! atb snack.
Oh yeah getting better value than Seiko is easy, but to be fair those homage watches didn’t spend anything on design...
@@PerthWAtch That's the conundrum of why I bought both Ivan! My heart says Seiko, but the mind says Microbrand!! atb snack.
Seiko seem to be a bit stingy with the crown shrouding these days when compared to older versions of the turtle such as the 6105.........................
Maybe it’s to make it more streamline and faster?
I've never liked the Day Date together !
Separate then?
Love them!!
My fav Seiko diver ... I have 2 :D
Which two did you have again? I feel you have shared this before...
@@PerthWAtch ...worth repeating ! :D ... plain jane pepsi & black bezels
@@PerthWAtch been thinking about new face for them though
Do you think they produced the great white as the irony of hard working Seiko workers making the save the whale watch, then popping home to feast on whale meat for tea.
Haha good one! But hey aren’t those all environmentally conscious fishing now? :)
I have the great white and i believe it has the divers extension.
Yes correct, did you not see the correction I *hard coded* into the video?
@@PerthWAtch Appologies i did not
Saludos
Hello!
Manta ray beats both of these
I’m sure any number of watches will beat both of these - what’s your point?
:)
;)
