Every now and than, I come back to this video. I saw this video when it came out, and it took me 2 years and half to get the SNKE51, now, after wearing it daily for almost two years, i bought it again to be pristine, and really take care of it, as i got some other ones on the side, to rotate.
9:45 blue strap is also good! Liked that blue leather, but like that blue suede as the micro 'fluff' rearranges and 'shades' light to the two toned blues, that actually complements the blue sunburst dial!
The dark blue Hadley 👌🏼 Amazing how some of these straps add a ton of versatility to the timepiece and make a sub $100 watch look like a million bucks.
The blue-black crock band on this Seiko 5 SNK E51 is arguably the most beautiful combo I have ever seen. Breathtaking indeed. I ordered the “J” version for $100 and also a deep blue XL crock band. This is truly a ‘must have’ thing. I may have to mod in a Sapphire crystal.
2 years later I did exactly the same to my SNKE51J1 due to this guy's videos. Sapphire with double dome and blue AR and the Hardley Roma blue croc. Brings this little Seiko to a new level.
Howzit! So, you might be wondering "what the hell does that intro shot have to do with anything?". Well, it doesn't! I am random af and I just thought it was cool! It was really cold up there at nearly 10,000 feet but the view is amazing. That guy is my buddy Sterling. He tried to swat my drone down. He missed :p Sterling does some cool photography. And yeah, that scratch on my Seiko 5's glass really bums me out. Oh whale! Don't forget to follow us on instagram for photos of stuff! It's also where I announce future mod sales! instagram.com/minitwatch
Me three! Was considering the Bambino gen 2 for another inexpensive dress watch alternative, but this watch with the Blue Croc strap is fabulous. Also, one guy in his amazon review of the band mentioned that he installed a double dome sapphire crystal along with a deployment clasp...the watch looks amazing-he developed a real keeper! Be well.
I'm glad to watch a fellow strap nut! Since I don't have a lot of money for tons of watches, I quickly discovered the beauty of strap swapping to transform the few watches I have to fit the occasion. Much cheaper and can be quite effective!
Great video! I’m just now getting into watches and I never knew that these bands can be mixed and matched! I just bought and Seiko 5 myself and switched out the band for a NATO nylon strap. Very casual, everyday, beat up watch.
"Watch for standing in an art gallery and pretending to buy a painting while making up a bunch of stuff about the painting... Because you know.. so is she!.. or he!" hahahahah
Recently I bought this model of Seiko 5, it is really a stunning looking watch costing me US$75, what a bargain. When it arrived it was running 30sec per day fast, not really acceptable after some adjustments it is now running about 10 sec per day slow totally acceptable. Get this watch you won't be disappointed.
You know, I tried to do the whole art gallery thing in a few locations. I got told to stop each time. haha! It's like WHYYY BRO? FREE ADVERTISING! But no.
Great form today. I like the different straps and different looks for the watch with them. Gingerbread was good on that watch. Bless you for you sneeze and find the shoe.
Thats an amazing Video for that seiko blue dial....did a lot of justice to that asset, i have the same and now going to replace with new strap asap...Thanks buddy..😄
Thank you. Blue dial watch search brings me to this ultimate strap guide. Very sad, some watches I like it to stick with certain straps so I force to buy a new watch if I need some other combination.:)
ohhhh I agree 100000000% percent. I have this watch, and the original bracelet was absolute rubbish. I changed it to a black leather band, and it looks great
1st time watching your channel, really like your unpretentious "presenting", Enjoyed the video v-much, I'm looking to buy a decent watch, until I started researching I'd never look at a Seiko but now I know how good they are, again thank for a cool video,cheers from Ireland.
I have only just discovered this video, I thought I had watch all your uploads! You are completely right about the Seiko 5 looking good on anything. I've got strap from eternitizzz and combat-straps that cost more than my Seiko 5, but that little Seiko can roll with the punches along side the big boys! That blue 'gator like strap from Hadley roma is beautiful on that! Great vid!
Good concept on the video. I love the selections as well, except for the mesh, its just not for me. I like how you demonstrated enough of each and then moved on. The beauty of this watch is its versatility with many differnet bands. Good job.
My wife and I have been laughing our asses off watching this video, we are definitely going to buy this watch now. Just subscribed to your channel, keep it up brother you’re a great reviewer!
exactly, seiko 5 just need a strap change, the stock bracelet/strap does do its justice! sadly, most of the people are turned away because of the stock look
Great video. Let's get those puppets on . Lol they make me laugh. In fact highlights of your review in a nice way. Best regards from Adrian in Sheffield England.😀😀😀😀
The Hadley Roma is the best. By far. So sexy. The first one you showed. I picked up that 40mm Tisell Type B cuz of one your last videos. That Miyota movement! I've had it for a week and I love it. The thing that gets me about the Seiko 5 is that it's 38mm. Too small for me, but I do own one and I love it, but it's sparsely worn.

That blue leather strap (7.47 - 9.43) is just PERFECT for that watch. Personaly, I would keep it on the watch all the time.
It is glorious, isn't it!!
The tan one before this one also looks amazing, I really, really want this watch now
@@minitwatch Hello Sir. Where did you get the blue strap ? How large is it ? 20 mm ? Thank you very much.
@@minitwatch more than Seiko watch, your words made me feel pleasure sir. The words about gentleman and savage uffffff hahaha...
9:45 blue strap is also good! Liked that blue leather, but like that blue suede as the micro 'fluff' rearranges and 'shades' light to the two toned blues, that actually complements the blue sunburst dial!

Sapphire crystal swap video upcoming?
The randomness is what makes it good :)
=]
Where did you buy these amazing straps at 6:30 - 7:30 and 13:00 ? And what size ? Want to do the same with my seiko !
minitwatch Howzit? Now I'm even happier to have subscribed :D
I kind of hate you now. I want to buy this watch.
Hehe! Oops!
Me too, now! I need to get one with a Hadley Roma MS834 band. It looks so georgeous.

Your laugh is just crazy man 😂😂😂😂 I love your reviewing and how you tolk 😂😂😂😂

Aren't Seiko 5 just legendary?? 💙 straps work
Heckin yes they are!
I love all the strappy straps.
Hard to choose, huh! I'm facing that dilemma.
Well done.
Gives me ideas for bands.
Probably spend more on all the bands than I did on the watch.
I find nothing wrong with that :) Cheers!
The Blue strap is killing it
This is the video to show a friend how versatile a Seiko 5 actually is!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 especially for anyone looking for a 38mm.
Perfect! This is why I do it! I'm glad I could help!
That blue suede is VERY slick.
Love it when you zoomy zoom on the strappy straps
I like all the options u are showing no one shown like this , love it
The blue suede strap, goes bang on with the dial. It's a match made in heaven if I may say do!
Lmao your description of the Nantucket blue blue strap. So innocent, so pure!
Benchmark blue sude👍. Great video
Can't go wrong with that combo! Thanks, man!!
"Watch for standing in an art gallery and pretending to buy a painting while making up a bunch of stuff about the painting... Because you know.. so is she!.. or he!"
hahahahah
Cool, it's dinner and a show. Nice touch with the sock puppet. Keep them coming.
I have pumpkin orange Barton, makes all my watches look good

I would recommend the SARB 33 for blending into an art gallery.
You know, I tried to do the whole art gallery thing in a few locations. I got told to stop each time. haha! It's like WHYYY BRO? FREE ADVERTISING! But no.
it has been discontinued... sadness
dodolabis you can very easily find one for many years to come.
I’ve always said it, a “strap will make or break the watch.”
I ordered already the watch after looking at this video omg
This is a feel good video. Good job man!
I love the look of mesh bracelets but they always pull the hair on my arms. LOL
Great form today. I like the different straps and different looks for the watch with them. Gingerbread was good on that watch. Bless you for you sneeze and find the shoe.
Thank you, Charlie! I appreciate your blessings :) Aloha!
Thats an amazing Video for that seiko blue dial....did a lot of justice to that asset, i have the same and now going to replace with new strap asap...Thanks buddy..😄
best bang for your buck watch
First thing I do when I open these videos is check the end of the description. This one was a bit lack luster :p but keep up the great work!
Dammit! i have failed you! It's hard to make that part entertaining lol.
I enjoy all of your videos, my wallet does not.
Thank you and also, ooops :p
Just got this watch today .. The dark deep blue dial is stunning, dark brown/oxblood strap is what I'm looking to put this on.
The red one at the end is lush. That and the black one were the only ones I liked.
Thank you. Blue dial watch search brings me to this ultimate strap guide. Very sad, some watches I like it to stick with certain straps so I force to buy a new watch if I need some other combination.:)
15:23 Achoo-giggity. Yep - I caught that, Quagmire. LOL
Anyway, great video! Definitely going for the blue strap.
Wow you sold the hell outta this affordable watch. Seiko needs to compensate you for the free ad
I jam home the 22mm benchmark blue suede strap onto my 2nd gen orient bambino. It’s my most-complimented strap
"You have strap-ons? No?" Hahahahhahaa
the blue leather strap combo is my jam!
Love the sound effects and uncle Jimmy hahaha new sub for that :)
OMG , you were very suggestive with the 1st blue leather. Lol I'm subscribing.
Omg your hilarious. "Oops a finger in the butt!" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
you got that island vibe bro! i just visited waikiki for a week this august and i absolutely need to go again... or move there
just bought this watch, and your "safe option" at 4:30 was the clincher
the last strap made me hungry.
That's because you are an ANIMAL!!! ;)
ohhhh I agree 100000000% percent. I have this watch, and the original bracelet was absolute rubbish. I changed it to a black leather band, and it looks great
That intro hahahaha great video!
Very useful vid. Thanks mate
my favorites on it is the mesh bracelet and the blue suede 😍
this watch is Band width about 19~ 20mm :D
Bruh thats the most beautiful dial ive ever scene
That blue strap is really nice
Silly but super video. Thanks!
That's like all my videos :p It's who I am. Thank you for watching!
I even dont know enough english to understand this video but idea for watch with random straps is nice and helpfull
I like your sense of humor.
I liked all crocodile except the red+the mesh.
1st time watching your channel, really like your unpretentious "presenting", Enjoyed the video v-much, I'm looking to buy a decent watch, until I started researching I'd never look at a Seiko but now I know how good they are, again thank for a cool video,cheers from Ireland.
Brooo I'm dying of laughter.
*sneezes* giggity
Fun video and great selection - last strap (Red scales pattern) wins! Complements the blue dial perfectly.
Love the video. What a transformation. Dare I suggest you might do the same for the Alpinist? What fun that would be. 👏
I think the second last one was the best. The black leather strap with white stitching. Would’ve been better if there was an all black leather strap 👌
Love the straps and bracelets! Thanks for sharing!
You're welcome, Jojo! I do this for the people!!
The video u had in the forest with the Saab 035, or 033, was untouchable.... that music was bustin heads... nice straps btw...
Yeah, i'm trying to recreate that with another watch. It's not going so well haha! Thanks, man!
That savage laugh 😈
Bought the last one , the Timestrap red scale one at 15:07 for my blue dial Seiko 5 - it makes the watch. Thanks for the tip.
Wow! Amazing straps! I love my SNK809!
An iconic Seiko 5 for sure! probably the MOST iconic!
O yeah!
Excel the f**k outta my spreadsheets. Best line of the episode.
I have only just discovered this video, I thought I had watch all your uploads!
You are completely right about the Seiko 5 looking good on anything.
I've got strap from eternitizzz and combat-straps that cost more than my Seiko 5, but that little Seiko can roll with the punches along side the big boys!
That blue 'gator like strap from Hadley roma is beautiful on that! Great vid!
Hadley Roma black for me..
Good concept on the video. I love the selections as well, except for the mesh, its just not for me. I like how you demonstrated enough of each and then moved on. The beauty of this watch is its versatility with many differnet bands. Good job.
Sadly the Wocci brown suede is no longer available and is not so easy to find Hadley Roma straps in Italy
My wife and I have been laughing our asses off watching this video, we are definitely going to buy this watch now. Just subscribed to your channel, keep it up brother you’re a great reviewer!
LOL love the vid, keep em coming, you are one funny man.
Great examples, favorited!
Great. But, where is nato strap?
i was dead laughing the whole video, thanks
Extremely versatile watch
Great video as always 💪
I should buy seiko 5 like your designs...mine is SNK809 stainless steel version... I like simple and clean dial...
I have that exact model on a Crown & Buckle Anchorage strap! Tan nubuck leather with navy stitching.
It must be beautiful!
White stitched black strap is the best
It does look very classy, huh? Good choice!
Great vid , can you interchange straps on all Seiko 5's , asking for my son
If it came with that beautiful strap IV would of bought it
Thats the funniest strap video ever!! Looool now I'll watch more of ur videos just because of the jokes.
The hadley Roma blue is beautiful, shame that it only comes in standard 120/80 length
What tool do you use to remove the strap. Could you leave a link please. I'm new to this so I don't know🤣
Keep it up! Nice video. What strap would you recommend for a SNK809 w/ black dial?
mesh looking amazing!!!
exactly, seiko 5 just need a strap change, the stock bracelet/strap does do its justice! sadly, most of the people are turned away because of the stock look
Great video. Let's get those puppets on . Lol they make me laugh. In fact highlights of your review in a nice way. Best regards from Adrian in Sheffield England.😀😀😀😀
Thank you, Adrian! I appreciate it. Cheers! from Hawai'i!
The Hadley Roma is the best. By far. So sexy. The first one you showed.

The thing that gets me about the Seiko 5 is that it's 38mm. Too small for me, but I do own one and I love it, but it's sparsely worn.
So nice. Thanks for video
This looks just awesome.
I have the watch and I have the dark leather and personality I like the leather best
Dude. You are halarious! Subbed.
The Seiko SNKE51 I just ordered says it takes an 18mm strap
Did 20mm fit?
The pulsar blue kinetic watch is very similar but arguably better with a kinetic quarts movement and 100M water resistant watcg
"start a movement" hahaha. Indeed.
I ride dirt bikes and I surf. I like to play...daddy likes to play. And he likes Strap Ons..... Wow! I think he released during this video.
