My #1 recommendation would be @JohnG - Nero Straps
https://www.rwg.bz/board/index.php?/forum/319-nero-straps-by-johng/

He makes some killer straps ... Check out his listings.

Might be late to the party but my advice would be to keep it on a bracelet.  A MM is a pretty  top heavy watch and doesn't sit that well on the wrist if it isn't balanced by the weight of the bracelet. If you have done it,  how did it go ?

Hi CurioLeo,

Not to disagree but I’ve put my MM300 on a thick leather strap and it felt really comfortable. I also tried it on a Crafterblue rubber strap with extension buckle and it feels great. So much better and more comfortable than the original rubber and it looks really sharp. 

Regards,

MV

Here’s a shot on the Crafter Blue rubber strap.

Yes, I believe they make it to fit exactly on the MM300.

And the buckle is something truly spectacular, give me a couple of minutes and I’ll post a photo of it.

That is one solid buckle !! Might have to give one a try ... although I sold my SLA019 and the LE Thailand Sumo to fund another GS.

I hope you’re satisfied with your GS, I don’t own one yet but I’m getting more and more interested in them.

Just in case you’re interested here’s the link to this exact strap I have on the MM300:

https://www.strapcode.com/collections/replacement-band-for-seiko-mm300/products/le-cb-cb03a-20a18b17

The strap is Crafter Blue but the buckle comes from strapcode, I believe it’s Miltat made.

Cheers, my friend!
