New strap for the frankenmonster


Also received this, going back for a replacement as the orange stopwatch hand doesn't sit quite central

What's the bracelet like on that? I was quite taken with the black and red version, but it didn't come onto my radar until it had sold out everywhere. Now they've launched a few new colours I'm wondering whether to grab one; though the rose gold version (which comes on leather) is the most appealing of the new colours to me. And I'm a bit anti Seiko Sporturas on leather, since the lugs tend to be non-standard.

It's good quality, on par with Swiss brands for the same money. Has solid links/end links and a nice clasp.

My SKX007J. I'm just after a more subtle rubber strap for it now.

Thank you very much! Those pics are really useful. I'll shun the rose gold because it's on a strap, but I'm far more tempted to get one of the bracelet variants now smile

A lot of people modify the SKX007, my next purchase will be a SKX007 which will be fitted with a brown Hirsh Liberty strap.

That looks great on a leather strap, shame I just can't get on with leather straps - the watch never sits straight and with a steel strap a quick flick puts it straight again (I suspect that this manoeuvre makes me look far from straight!).

I have an SKX009 and it looks identical, any idea what the difference is?

Plus, James Bond wore the 007. Hence 007...

You also get the 173, same as the 007 but with different face and second hand.

Mine.

JJust picked up this map meter, no idea why or when I'll even wear it but thought it looked pretty cool.

Just wonderful - so elegant. Really like the absence of text on the dial too. A lovely piece. I would love to have a Grand Seiko one day...
