I really like the look of this watch. How big is it? Would it look alright on a 5 1/2" wrist? Or would it be way too large looking? It's a pretty hefty chunk of metal. I would recommend a mini- turtle. Rob Sorry for my ignorance but what is a mini-turtle?

Sunny Sunday here with the Great White. This looks to be the same size as the PADI watch above. Would it be rude of me to ask what your wrist measurement is?

A mini turtle is a slightly smaller version of the re issue with a similar shaped case, crown at 3 and a cyclops. Just Google seiko mini turtle for videos, photos and such Rob

Just Google seiko mini turtle for videos, photos and such Rob That is much better; more my size. I do prefer the crown at 3 o'clock as well. Why are they called 'turtles'?

It has to do with the somewhat turtle shaped cushion case. Rob

Today's Seiko golf tip of the day: if you have a bad lie, plan on taking two shots to reach your target, and make the first one as easy as possible.
