Quite the difference in cost! Love the unique stitching on the strap..........have not seen anything like that before. Absolutely a great price for a fabulous look!

What a super smooth strap, as well as combination ! Like John said, haven't seen that stitching style before. It's something special imho ! Also like the way the strap seems to taper too !!!..Great pick-up !..Enjoy !!!

Very unique - never seen anything like that. I'm a sucker for top-stitched brown gator/crock - can't get enough. Looks really good Sean.

Nice look. Glad you got it at a bargain. What's the taper on that one?

. . . watchbands.com was a flop for me. I tried to get a strap for my 9000 cal. minute repeater from them, after over 2 months they never did come through. I suppose I should try Citizen USA for it.
. . . should I tell them Sean sent me???

I think the taper is down to 22mm at the buckle.I'll get some measurments and better photos later.I took these outside without flash at night. kind of grainy.Seiko sent this with the buckle and a set of spring bars made for the strap and specific watch.The bracelet has the fat bars. This strap has a hard tunnel built inside.The spring bar is narrow in the center and uses shouldered ends that are the same size as the fat spring bars. Also the leather is really good.Same quality as citizen uses on there higher end watches and almost as good as the accutron eagle strap.
