Strap (for a Seiko 5).

[grumbledoak]

The strap that came with my Seiko 5 is looking crap, so I'm looking to switch. Apart from the rather obvious Bond NATO, what have people tried on theirs? I quite fancy a chunky leather one. 18mm, blue face.

TIA

I sometimes wear my black dial military one on a leather strap with white stitching, I think they work really well with leather.



I also have a different 5 that came on a stainless strap that I sometimes put a leather strap on.

[grumbledoak]

Thanks. That's the sort of thing I was thinking of, though in brown.

I did similar to mine with this strap: http://www.sectime.co.uk/padded-genuine-leather-wa...

I got my straps from the same seller linked above, they're decent enough for the money.

Oooh. Liking that a lot.

I have a Seiko 5 diver on a Brady sail cloth strap that works really well.

Snap.



Not sure if the tan will work with the blue face or not?

[grumbledoak]

I agree, and I have gone for a (hopefully darker than tan) Riviera on Sectime.

I think both of those straps look great.

Could you possibly let us know where you got them from?

[GWC]

Same as above www.sectime.co.uk they also sell on ebay, which is where I bought mine from.
