Killer set up!! How do you like the seichu strap? I’ve been on the fence about buying a couple of them for some time now and haven’t done it yet but they look so great! Let me know your thoughts!!

In my opinion they are the best Natos I’ve experienced so far. But more in a professional way, there pretty thick, but therefore they feel absolutely bulletproof. I wear them often the „down under“ way. (See the video of ID GUY on YouTube, if you don’t know it yet) Took this one diving once and swimming multiple times and still feels and looks brand new! They’re made for the water!! You also should have not the smallest wrist, since they’re quite long. (Should also fit over diving suits)

Absolutely love also how the watch looks on it. 🙌🏻 so toolish yet still classic and so well made.

Great reply thanks for the details! I’ll def have to keep them in mind next time I seem them pop up on WatchEx!

Good news is I have quite large wrists so oversized is music to my ears. I do know the down under method with natos too. Really fun little trick for the thicker pieces!

Hope you continue to enjoy the 239 and many great adventures ahead. I loved mine when I had it!

you’re welcome! I’m sure you like em, if you’ll decide to buy them. Also heard, that you can buy them at any Seiko boutique, but never tried to get another, since mine are almost looking like new.

I really like the way watch enthusiast like you and me reply to each other, I just registered myself yesterday, great community.

Have fun with your Seikos!

Great to know for sure and I’ll keep that in mind.
