So I bought another Seiko :)

Got myself a new Seiko 5
Snxs75

Debating if I wear it with the bracelet or a strap. What do you guys think? Also any views on this watch... I debated getting the blue version but then I have lots of Blues in the watch box.

Cool watch. I would wear it on every type of strap or bracelet that fits and if there is another that you want, go for it. Seiko 5's are a fun line in the Seiko line-up.

Got it on Amazon. $85 all in. The other colors were 120-150 or so. I wanted this grey color with the pop of gold

Very nice. I quite like the black and white stitching leather look in the bottom left shot you have there. Not a fan of the Seiko 5 bracelets.

Does look nice. I think I might try to get a few straps. Do you guys know if this is 19mm or 20mm?

Make sure it’s the watch you wear when asking for a raise.

Big fan of a golden brown leather strap on a watch with gold undertones, similar to the first picture in the top left corner you have here. I’d also recommend finding a custom strap maker (like Heuerville) to get a strap with custom colored stitching to subtlety bring out that gold undertone or dial color — crazy what a hint of color stitching can do for the overall look of a watch

Great watch and good dial choice. It works well with a bracelet or strap.

Well, I was half serious. It's either 18 or 19. I highly doubt it's 20.

I really miss my Seiko Turtle. But I’m going to buy a skx013 next. I want to try that one.

I bet!

It took 3 people to size my watch when I bought the turtle.

Nice. It's like a stainless Day-Date for a bit less money.
