As a limited edition watch, this piece was one of 6000 made and is especially unique in that it is the JDM (Japanese Domestic Market) version which includes Japanese characters as one of the language options for the day/date complication, as well as the distinctive “Made in Japan” mark on the face.**I purchased it in combination with the Blue Lagoon Samurai edition from an AD while on business in Taiwan in August of 2017, but since I already own another Turtle, this one has to go.
I’m selling it LNIB with papers(worn five times total with only a few hair-thin lines on the clasp – see photos) with papers and new OEM rubber dive strap (value of $60CAD)
Hodinkee did a far better job than I could ever do of the breakdown on the North American model of this piece, and you can find that here:

Photos absolutely cannot capture the radiant blue of the dial or the metallic shimmer of the dual paint scheme on the bezel – it really is a breathtaking watch!
A little research will show that this is a*very difficult watch to find since most are sold out. A very limited amount currently retail for around $1000 CAD ($850 all-in plus $150 duty & shipping to Canada) for an authentic JDM version.
Given the rarity of this model and its condition, I’m asking $850 shipped anywhere in Canada.
Let’s get this beauty sold CWC!
Cheers,
Jordan
