Seiko 5 SNK803 - My first mechanical watch
It's Summer in the US, so today I decided to put my explorer down for a few days (an almost impossible task, we'll see how long it lasts) and go back to my first mechanical watch: the SNK803.
Attached are pictures of my two preferred strap options on this Seiko 5 model. For the better part of 3 years now, I've kept it on the brown canvas, which looks great and is incredibly versatile. Considering the season though, I thought it would be cool to get it back on this more colorful NATO strap, which I often wore it on when I first bought it.
For anyone who's curious, both straps were purchased (along with 2 different blue leather straps, which also look awesome on this piece) from Barton Watch Straps shortly after I got the Seiko. I have to say, they've all held up well - especially considering the price. I'd recommend them to anyone who's looking to try out some different style straps.
Let me know what you guys think of these looks!
That’s a nice first mechanical watch. And the strap looks good!
They’re both nice but I like the NATO better. Probably easier to track this if you did a poll.
Both straps look well thought out and would probably work best in rotation 🤔
