ellistyle1 0 Posted August 14, 2014 My first seiko. Inspired by Sunny Puddi I went to Creation Watches and found a good deal. 3 days later it's here. I dig it. I think I want a different strap on it. Let me know your thoughts on strap selection or if you can help. (08.29.14) Just got home from (another) week away from home and snuck into the office because I knew the strap I ordered for this arrived. I really like this combo. What do you think?

andyboy 5 Posted August 14, 2014 Is the face black or blue Either way I`m thinking Nato with a bit of red in it to match the seconds hand. Welcome to the Seiko club Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ellistyle1 0 Posted August 14, 2014 Is the face black or blue Either way I`m thinking Nato with a bit of red in it to match the seconds hand. Welcome to the Seiko club It's kinda blueish, but dark. Could pass off as black--almost. Default for me is almost always nato. I think that is the way I'll go. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
seclark007 11 Posted August 14, 2014 Nice Seiko. I have most of my Seiko's on NATO straps. If you can pull it off, perhaps an olive drab NATO to bring out the military look of the piece. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wear in good healthy I'm still reeling at how badass this seiko looks (it was what turned my eye toward them just a few days ago): Nice Seiko. I have most of my Seiko's on NATO straps. If you can pull it off, perhaps an olive drab NATO to bring out the military look of the piece. I found a canvas nato in that color on ebay. I think that is how I'll go. Thanks!

ellistyle1 0 Posted August 14, 2014 This is what I ordered. Don't do ebay. I saved $20 going to strapcode Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cuchulain36 0 Posted August 15, 2014 I like this watch on a NATO but I like solid NATO's the striped NATO's are too busy for me. Like a black or dark military green would work well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ShovelnTC 31 Posted August 15, 2014 Maybe I'm easily pleased but I like the stock strap! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ellistyle1 0 Posted August 15, 2014 Maybe I'm easily pleased but I like the stock strap! I'll probably get rid of it when the nato arrives. If you have a use for the stock strap it's yours. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Noodle_oh 0 Posted August 24, 2014 Check out the leather NATOs from Crown & Buckle as an option too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This was featured on Hodinkee a few days ago--another company that is doing some interesting Seiko mods. Nice looking mods at the site, but that's a lot of coin for a basic mod. Watch ($75) + dial ($30) + mod time is not $365 USD in my book. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
