I've got this seiko that I've had for a couple of years but I've not worn it much, although I really like the watch I'm not so keen on the bracelet. I thought it might look good on a leather strap, possibly with some red stitching?
Any suggestions and links to where I can buy are greatly appreciated!

You'll need to know the lug width before buying but here's a list of straps:

I like the Hirsch straps which Watch Obsession sells.

If it were me, I'd avoid red stitching, as there are no red details on the dial for it to complement. White stitching would work well if you don't want plain black.

As it's a sporting-style watch, maybe a carbon-effect strap would work? These are pretty good. (Great service from this website too, by the way.) There's also a red-stitched version if you still want red.

Thanks for this, I originally went the a red stitched one from the link in the first reply above, it was decent enough quality for less than a tenner delivered but you were right about the red not working with the watch so I ordered the carbon effect one you linked and it looks much better, the quality of the strap and the service from the website are superb, I'll get some pics up when I get the chance, thanks again!
