Seiko SLA 017 on a vintage tropic strap.

Swapped out the diamond rubber strap for a tropic, which really suits this watch. The diamond strap is quite nice, but I really love that that tropic is thinner, shorter and has a vintage look which goes perfectly with the 62 MAS design.

Thanks Descartes for sharing the pics on the tropic strap.

I got one recently and hesitated to mount it as I think the existing waffle strap is almost perfect.

If there's two things I want to change on the existing strap -- 1) to add another tab to secure tightly the strap, or 2) to make the waffle strap shorter.

Looks great! Can I ask where you got the strap? Thinking of ordering some for mine. Also, is it 18 or 19mm at the lugs?

Thanks!

Cool! This watch is going to be fun with a bunch of different straps, I think.

It's 19mm. There are lots for sale on eBay. Good luck!
