I am considering picking up one of the Blue Lagoon models and can't decide between the Samurai and the Turtle. I am leaning towards a Sammy because I have PADI and SRP789 (Coke) Turtles inbound at the moment. Really like the angular case on the Samurai. Thoughts?
I just bought the Blue Lagoon turtle in Hong Kong last Saturday and I'm loving it. My first modern Turtle (have a fair share of 6105s and 6139s) and I'm loving it. The Samurai was also available but I thought it would be an overkill to get both. Now I'm regretting leaving the Samurai on the table!
I was looking at both this week in the seiko boutique side by side and ive gotta got with the turtle, the turtle just looks a nicer design to me but thats only my preference to the cushion case.
The Samuari looked very nice too, both stunning watches.
I am planning to get both a Blue Lagoon turtle (or any turtle in case the BLs are gone too quickly) and a SUN019 this year. To me they are contrasting designs which both show exactly what Seiko divers are about, and they're both affordable as well!
I got the Turtle first, but the Samurai kept calling my name. I would say I much prefer the samurai but am happy I have the turtle also. The Blue Lagoon series is beautiful!
Ordered and received a Samurai. Very beautiful watch that looks even better in person then pics show. Size is great imo. Unfortunately I ran into Seikos renowned QC and the one I have has a dent on the bezel, some lint (maybe even a sctractch?) on the dial (under the crystal) and the bezel is slightly misaligned. Seller has no more left to send as a replacement so its going back for a refund.
As a smaller wristed guy I would have to go with the Turtle.
