Grand Seiko "Lake Suwa" SLGA007
Hi Folks,
This is my first post on WatchCrunch, and I thought I would share a few photos of my most recent GS purchase.
I'm looking for some strap options and would love some recommendations and photos.

Hey there!
This is gonna sound insane, but I really like the look of the Christopher Ward Vintage Oak leather strap on the Suwa. The light tan color goes really nicely with the gold seconds hand and applied logo.
Alternately, I love this particular shop on Etsy for their crocodile straps - an example of which you can see on the SLGH005.

Finally, I've commissioned a chicken foot leather strap (no joke) from fellow member @Jericho for my SBGE257 - pictures of which I will post liberally once it's completed and arrived.
Good luck!

I love your pair of GS😀 I'm looking forward to adding a GS mechanical model to my collection one day.
Thanks for the strap suggestions, and I can't wait to see your chicken foot leather strap! It sounds crazy, but I'll reserve judgment until I see the goods.
Cheers🍻

Damn you all have great spring drives I'm super envious!
The last materials will be here next week so not much time left to the end result! I really want to do my best, I'll share the results as soon as possible
This is my first luxury watch and went a bit wild with straps, all one order from Crown and Buckle. Several leather, Perlon, and NATO, and Chevron straps. Turns out this Chevron single pass with a brushed buckle gets half the wrist time, the other half being the GS bracelet. The blue is a perfect match and the center stripe breaks up the 22mm width perfectly. Here it is under sunlight and studio light.

Nice pairing. I have a similar Nato, but it's 20mm.
Congrats! Check out king leather craft for some amazing handmade options. He’s such a great guy.
That dial is magic. Have you tried looking at Theo and Harris straps? They have a variety of tan leather straps that I think would look amazing with that blue, like their mojave, alder, and L.R. (made of cork!).
That logo puts me in a trance. Seriously looks like it's just floating over some water.
I think this is my favorite GS dial! It's incredible!
That watch looks bloody awful on a NATO!!!
