First Seiko (updated)

Thank you all for the suggestions on alternative straps for my new Seiko in response to this post (https://www.rolexforums.com/showthread.php?t=632955)

I picked up a piece made by a local company called Crafter Blue - quite fun and feels great

Pics below

I love the CB straps. Very well made rubber straps for Seiko. I got myself the blue CB straps for my SKX009, and it is the best strap I got so far for my SKX.

Looks great, they did not work out for me on the SKX, SRP or the MM.

My SKX173 on a Crafter Blue black strap. Comfy and looks good!

They are a real upgrade over the strap the Seiko comes with (IMHO)

Love that. I was torn between the sumo and the turtle.

Is it wrong that I’m looking at new straps already?

Not even remotely wrong....from my POV the standard straps (practical and comfortable as they may be) just don’t look as good as the watches themselves.
