Which Strap?

[M.J.S]

Hi All,

Looking for some guidance here... I know my watch is somewhat a poor relation to some of the beautiful examples on here, but I like it anyway, and it will keep me until I can justify the cost of that vintage Omega...

I've just got my grubby little hands on this Seiko 5 and I'm thinking a change of strap is called for.


I'm thinking a black leather strap with white stitching. Any other suggestions?
Any recomendations for a suppiler, bearing in mind this is not an expensive watch!

Thanks all,

I think the standard respose you'll get is Watchworx on a budget, and Toshi if you're pushing the boat out past £50.

I should warn you not to look at Toshis website, as you'll go weak at the knees and be searching for a watch to match the strap

My current favourite strap is the black crocodile skin one. I did the vintage thing and I think it only works for older styles of divers' watches now that I've had a chance to swap and change between a number of different styles of straps and divers' watch (well, there's only three, really - Blancpain, Panerai and Russian... Rolex appears to be producing expensive homages as I understand. ).

But then it is down to personal preference, of course.

Thanks Guys,

There are some really nice straps out there..! Toshi straps do look fantastic.

Watchworx might be getting some of my hard earned in the not to distant future.

Ken really is a top bloke to deal with. Give him a call and discuss your needs with him. He may even throw in some less obvious choices for you to contemplate.
