Thank you  @Sifu Whitey I didnt plan on purchasing it. But I saw one in a video and had to have it! 

I also saw a review video by The Urban Gentry, who recommended it.

We're already doing it with a Daytona that's doing a world tour, so why not a Seiko Alpinist?

I normally wear my  Alpinist with leather straps but when I saw a youtube vid on a bargain steel strap I thought it worth a go.  Bought on ebay, it's a parnis jubilee strap and it proved to be a perfect fit.

It cost around £26 ($35) but looks well made.  It evens has the half link click out extension as Rolex Explorer.  They also do an Oyster version which would probably look better if it is as good a fit.

For leather straps, I usually use one's I've made myself.

It might not show up well on the photo but the last one is dark green.

Looks good.  Saw that watch on a TT juby on strapcode.  Looked sharp.
