Incoming! My First Seiko! SRPC01/SARY085

I have been looking to purchase a Seiko for quite some time and when a friend decided to sell his Starlight it was an easy decision!

Despite owning and having owned numerous watches from numerous brands, I have never owned a Seiko before and as I read about the brand, the itch for one started growing!

The models I liked are not easy to come by in Brazil, so I had to wait a little until the right opportunity appeared.

Now that it arrived, I must say I am mesmerized by its quality, the dial is simply beautiful and the hands and indexes are really sharp.

I think I can say with confidence that there is nothing that can compare to the Presage line at its price point, even more expensive watches may fall in comparison.

Now, I want to ask you, what sites do you recommend to purchase some straps to my new watch? And for what model should I look next?

Thanks

Congrats, that's a great one. Maybe try a Turtle next if you want something more casual.

Hi, I'm in Brazil. Found one for R$ 1900, how much did you pay?

I like the hospital dos relógios website for straps.
