Ideas for a replacement strap

Good evening everyone,

I have treated myself for Christmas with this 5 Sport & Arabic Day. Supposed to arrive tomorrow and I am already convinced I will change the strap. But I am not very sure yet, and happy to take some of your competent suggestions from the same model or similar outlook !

Merry Christmas all😊

P.S: it is my first post and I would do one once this arrived with the rest of my collection like it seems to be the tradition here 👍

Welcome. The stock strap is atrocious. I’ve put a NATO from Amazon on it

Thanks !

I know 😂I tried in a shop and found better price on Amazon, so I know it’s terrible ! Any chance you have a picture of yours ? Thanks a lot 👍

Put it on a nice leather strap, my recommendation would be something from Rios1931. 👌🏻

I was thinking for something more field/nato style or even rubber but still within a sporty outlook but I appreciate the suggestion 👍

I really like the adjustable single pass nylon straps from Crown & Buckle - I have several of these fore than a couple years.

I really like Barton Elite silicone straps. They are really well made and very comfortable. I have almost as many Barton straps as I do watches.

IMO a sailcloth strap with red stiching would look good

check cosmican's post here on W.C. ... he makes/sells custom straps and this post features one of his on a Seiko like yours ... looks fantastic!

Thanks a lot everyone, I will have a look and post back. I think my pref goes to the silicon style, so it keeps a sporty look and can be used while swimming ! 😊
