The silicone is as soft as butter and I don’t really care about it picking up lint. In general I find that people gripe far too much about seiko straps and bracelets.

That's the drawback with CB straps. Although a beautiful fit, look, and high quality material; the rigidity of it lays hard on the wrist. There's no forgiveness with it. Also the fact you can't lay it flat on your dresser or desk is maddening! I took it off my new Sumo. I tried hard to like it. Love the look, but wasn't happy with the feel. The bracelet feels so much better.

I second Bartons. I have a few of their rubber straps for smaller 20mm divers and am very happy. Very nice strap for only $20. Their canvas straps looks really cool too.

The reason I don’t wear my CB is because it also presses on my wrist bone. The turtle doesn’t sit flat. It’s raised because of the curve end links of the CB. I would highly recommend the Barton Elite Silicone in Navy. It’s not a bright Navy. It matches well. Barton has many colors. The strap isn’t a lint magnet, and it’s comfortable. My turtle now sits flat on my wrist.

Barton also has straps with two different colors. You mentioned a orange turtle. They have a strap with orange on top and black on the bottom Elite Silicone. Or just all orange.

This one. Suwa Grand Quartz 9943-8030 from July 1978. HSS case, blizzard dial, accurate to 10 seconds per year (!).

A steal on eBay for £100. I have a feeling one day the world will catch up to these super-quartzes...

Really nice watch. I would love to find one at the price you paid.

Thanks, Brian! Just ordered some parts yesterday to tweak one of my skx divers. Should have it done next week. Don't know what's more fun, the tinkering, or the results.
