New buckle + strap combination
Finally got a new buckle & strap combo for my alpinist. Love that this suede strap should last me for a while now!
One thing nobody told me was how comfortable a deployant clasp could be— this thing feels basically weightless now with the clasp to counterbalance the watch

It’s from a strap maker on Etsy. Surprisingly good quality for like 20 bucks
That dial! 🤩
I've only had one deployant strap, on my baby Alpinist, and found it so annoying and uncomfortable that I was hunting for regular straps on the day I unboxed it! Glad it works for you though! Beautiful watch and strap BTW!
Thank you man. And yeah that’s kinda suspicious— I guess shape and clasp style have a lot to do with it. Was it milled or pressed?

It's the Seiko deployant that came with the watch. Not pressed, but not a high quality milled clasp, I think maybe it was just too different for me and I didn't give it a chance!

Awesome!!! Where did you get the band and clasp?
The band was Etsy and the clasp is from strapsco!
Nice!
That's a killer color combo! I'm glad to hear that you're having a good experience with a deployant clasp, I've been thinking about getting one for my BB58.
I think its time to take it off the bracelet.
That’s why I got myself an Artem Omega Deployant. Only complaint being is that it’s 1cm shorter than the regular omega one, so on my slightly larger wrist it creates a problem. Size it so it’s comfortable to put on and it becomes too lose. Size it so it’s just the right fit around the wrist, it becomes a bit hard to put on
What a beautiful dial, Seiko has mastered great dials
Awesome 👏🏽
🔥 🔥🔥
Love the shot of your toes 😂😂 Strap looks great too
That is a really pretty dial. Love it.

Wow, nice dial.
the deployant looks comfortable. Might have to shop around for one.
That colour and texture of that strap is absolutely perfect for that the Mystic Forest Dial. I didn't know suede straps look so good!
Thank you very much!!!!
