    That blue on blue strap Seiko, wow. I'm not a watch aficionado, far from it. I used to be a wearable user (Fitbit, Pebble Classic, Asus Zenwatch, Samsung Gear S2) but I got fed up with decreasing battery life, confused industry path, and awfully expensive to replace the devices. I was browsing around and by accident I found out about Seiko 5 and I see a beautifully designed and made watch that costs a fraction of the wearables I bought, really something that threw me off. I'm going to buy that blue on blue combo, thanks for the video, you got a subscriber.

      Well, I have to jump some hoops to buy it. That blue SNKL07 only available from Singapore and the Bradystrap is from US. I try to avoid importing stuff as our custom is notoriously bad... But that blue combo... Gosh... Probably worth the hassle. I'd probably go buy available Seiko 5 locally and order the blue combo for my Father's birthday gift.

      I agree, it's beautiful, I really love that shade of blue and it's so nice when the color of the strap emphasizes and matches with the dial. I also love a bit brighter royal blue, saw a very nice one (2206-0490) on Ebay. My mother's Seiko 5 2206 (which became mine) is fully silver, even the dial), that's a nice one too.

    Don't feel bad about buying the same watch! I've done that too! Early in my watch collecting 'career', I developed a taste for Tag Heuer (and Heuer pre Tag ones too!). Fleabay before snipe programs was easy for many of us to buy things at a discount by manual sniping, and sometimes a price was just too good to pass up. I did the same; I put a different snazzy Monaco style band and rose gold bezel on my duplicate 2000 Exclusive black face series and it looked like a very different watch!

    Seiko 5 has such a great value for money. Such a lot of bang per buck. Throw a couple hundred dollars on my seiko sarz003, and change its strap (due to cheap feel like bracelet), and it easily becomes my favorite watch. Forget the Swiss brand, this is the watch, you can mix and match and it will make you feel amazed on how many possibilities and good combination you can make, without breaking your piggy bank.

    Well better is a matter of personal preference. I can understand wanting to mod a Seiko 5, especially replacing that Hardplex mineral glass crystal with a sapphire crystal but, if you're going to make it noticebly not a Seiko why not just build a bespoke watch from a Seiko NH35 or NH36 mechanism or even one of the Swiss ETA mechanisms. Suitable cases and crystals are easy to aquire and you can have dial faces custom printed. You could engrave your name and manufacture date on the caseback and give it a serial number of 1 or follow the old Seiko tradition of envofing the date of manufacture into the furst few characters of the serisl number and then have the last four numbers be the unique number for the month's production. Basically, if you're going to mod it, you might as well just custom build it altogether.

    Where do you get your straps man? They look real good. Have loved every strap change on your vids. Even bought my dad a Seiko SNKM63 and changed to a brown leather strap like the one you did.

      Yeah, it wasn't the best pair of straps I could find at the location I was in and would honestly get a better pair. But we both agreed it was better than the bracelet it came with

    I always thought that Seiko 5s had crown at 4 o clock which I really didn't quite fancy. Crowns at 3 o clock really appeals more to me. Are those Seiko 5s still available ?

    What is the width of the HR band for the SNKK87? There are so many different answers, it makes me confused.

    You know what they say about "small wrists?" They say, "a link can be removed for a better fit." And ain't that the truth!
