Seiko Strap Change
Barton sailcloth on the SNXS73 (she needs a nickname)
Leather-lined sailcloth so not really water proof, but neither is the watch.
There’s a bevel in the crystal edge that seems to create a black ring above the chapter ring or outer edge of the dial. Black band compliments that. I like it!
First Barton purchase. A little bit more expensive than other (really cheap) straps I’ve bought, but seems very good quality for the minimal increase.
I might have to try it on the Speedtimer. Or the Zelos. So many 20mm bands! 👏🏻
UPDATE: Well, not the other options. Forgot this is a 19mm strap. 💩Guess I’ll have to buy a few 20mm samples…
Oh, yeah. Daddy likes!

Thanks. I thought a plain black leather strap would be a bit too vintage. I’ve admired sailcloth, but this is my first.

i'm a fan of this look
Looks great! I stuck a distressed vintage red leather on my grey dial variant. Really pops.
