Popped in the AD’s today
Looked at a few pieces and must say this latest porcelain dial presage is gorgeous.

Agreed. They always do well on the dials but then attach hideous fake imprinted cushioned straps.

And much better in the flesh
They sold what I was looking for but should be back in stock soon What’s the problem with the straps ? Either way It’s easy fix with so many aftermarket straps to chose from. |

In my opinion Seiko makes horrible leather straps for their watches. The SARB Cocktail Times and Alpinists are prime examples. Shiny fake alligator stamped straps that are very tacky. They are almost universally changed by owners. I think the Alpinists take the cake as the one Seiko that has the most diverse selection of aftermarket straps posted online by owners.

I have to agree with Sun Tzu. I replaced the straps on my Alpinist and Cocktail Time.

I have always thought that while Seiko makes great watches...they make crappy straps. This is true from the cheapest SKX to the most expensive GS. I never expected anything from the straps when I buy a Seiko as I will always have them changed.
