What's up gang! How are you doing on this fine Summer day? Real talk. I have this strange connection with you folks. Like, I look forward to your comments. Especially the wacky, fun ones. They make me happy. That being said, it's gratuitous plug time! lol Check out my favorite things here! www.amazon.com/shop/minitwatch Follow minitwatch on instagram! I only announce watch/mod sales there! instagram.com/minitwatch/
So, I am now the proud owner of an SNKM67. And that is mostly thanks to your videos. I was having a hard time deciding which Seiko 5 to buy, so I ended up compiling a list of the models I liked best, and asked my wife for her opinion. Much to my satisfaction she chose this as her first choice, and so, thanks to Rakuten Japan, I have now the watch on my wrist. I put it on a black leather strap with white stitching and I'm considering to give the tan Hadley Roma a try. This is really a nice watch, I can't take my eyes of it. Love the case, it has excellent wrist presences, the design of the lugs that have a curvature that seems to be perfectly inline with the curvature of the leather strap, the polished bezel and slightly brushed lugs. This is just great. I'm just gonna end my blabbering with a heartfelt thank you for introducing me to this watch. I also have a soft spot for the SNK803 and I think I'm going to get it and do the Rocketeer mod. This case is just awesome and complements really well many types of dials!! Now, time to save for a Sapphire crystal and an NH36 movement and make this watch totally awesome!
minitwatch Ha! I actually *did* order the tan before I saw your comment. I agree, I think it will look great. Love how those elite straps "tame the dingleberry".
I really dug the Honey Wheat Hadley Roma on this as well as the black gator strap too. I get where you coming from with the green though, it just works somehow, especially if you're wearing earth tones. I just wish this watch came in 40mm,that would be the perfect size for me. Would get my peanut happy. As far as my day went yeah bro full of conference calls for several hours, but luckily my 8am call tomorrow got canceled. So I'm sipping on a nice drink not worried about getting up super early tomorrow.
I love your strap on videos, some of your finest work! Don’t be pressured to sign an NDA agreement! 😁 But seriously that Barton Elite Silicone in black was a real eye opener.
I smacked my head at bike polo last night and am feeling sorry for myself. Your peanut commentary/tingling has cheered me up though! Hope you're good, bro!
Hey Curt, if you ever do get your hands on some Rally or Racing’s straps, or even some odd animal leather (i.e stingray, ostrich, lizard) I’d love to see that . Like always I enjoy the channel
Assuming the vintage Omega has been recently serviced and is in good condition, I'd have to go with that. The cool-factor of the Omega is just miles more than the Seiko 5.
Contrasts bring out best attributes. Seiko 5 dress watches are not luxury, but what class they do have gets highlighted by quality casual straps. Sailcloth would be another winner here. Overtly luxurious styles such as crocodile and leather straps highlight how cheap the watches are. That green Barton works well because it compliments the gilt (gold) indices on the dial.
Also if you can help me with your wrist size would be help..m a bit confused between SNKP27 vs.this one...I have tried SNKL23 but it's too small in my wrist..any suggestions would help...thanks :-)
Hei Kurt thx really nice video. Can i request strap video for mini turtle I have blue mini turtle and wondering what the best for it maybe shark mesh or blue nato
The first one is the only one I really like. Never liked the hadley roma bands and the one I had didn't last. Check Colareb for leather bands, they are extremely good tough and still affordable. I have a snzh57 in the same colour tone as your watch and I mostly use a aged gray leather from Colareb and it match perfectly. These days I mostly use perlon for comfort and adjustability and it goes well with heat and sweat and since you get a single layer of band under the watch it help for heat without raising the watch too much. Perlon bands are cheap so you can get various colours and throw them away when they get old. I don't use nato anymore since you get two layer of bands under the watch and with larger watch it's doesn't look good while not been as comfortable.
My HR straps have lasted years and through lots of abuse. I'll check colareb, though! I'm always looking for good straps! I have a bunch of perlons and I have the exact opposite effect. They get hot. The metal of my watch against the skin dissipates the heat instead of insulates it. I've noticed this while doing 71 minutes of cardio on the stair climber as well as while riding dirt bikes in the desert. Metal is better for me. Perlons and natos get hot!. The perlons I have a super cheapy, though and I'm looking for better ones. I think i'll either go with Eulit or Clockwork synergy since they are actual, nylon6 perlons.
My worst band type for heat is rubber and silicone, then metal. Perlon so far is the best with leather but leather don't last in those condition. With perlon I wash them also which is a big plus. Metal and sweat give me skin rash with constant movement running. With perlon you can adjust it accurately so it doesn't move. There is also a variant of perlon that is called double perlon or double brading that is supposed to breath even better. I will have to try this.

As usual, Uncle Jimmy's wisdom carries the day. The green strap is the best here.
I love that green silicone! It's perfect!
Bought the watch because of you!! Loved it with the black silicone band! Thank you!
Just got this watch, really hard to find videos of it, thanks for uploading!
Love that you don't sound preppy like these other watch reviewers. Your videos seem genuine and you just got yourself a sub
I have one of this seiko 5.. changed the strap and boom! Now it looks like more luxury watch.
Omg i love the music in the last bit of the video...groovy neo jazzy stuff
It's definitely chill :)
The King of strapped Seiko 5 is back. Let's see what's going on.
Booyah!! =)
Love these strap videos! The green one actually looks pretty good. May try one of those for my Alpinist.
Yes! Also, try the tan Elite! I love that one too!
minitwatch Ha! I actually *did* order the tan before I saw your comment. I agree, I think it will look great. Love how those elite straps "tame the dingleberry".
The T-Rex had us cracking up! Plus they are some really nice, yet simple straps!
Ted is a troubled dino :p
The black leather one suits the best, I think.
It does work very well!
That brown vetoo and red gator gave me a glorious feeling in the tingle area hekhekhek
Hahaha! excellent!
Feeling safe today with the suede but also like the red
I want crazy straps. I am looking for a company that can provide me with out there stuff. :p I would totally rock a strap that has llamas on it. :p
*patting you on the back* Great job. We’re proud of you. Mod on!
Dude that 5 is fricking huge on your wrist! The orange one is for Mr Wonderful.

ZackMorris1 yé
Ooo, an adult fizzy? haha! Enjoy not getting up super early, man!
not gonna lie, the black rubber strap for me looks slick, might try that on my snkk17
Hi, the first one is the best, both of the black ones, silicone first. You should have tried a black and gold Nato!
I don't have a black and gold nato :p
Some of those watches and straps would be nice to see with business shirts, perhaps something in blue, white, light beige.
mountainhobo I agree. It would be good to see these watches along with a shirt.
There's nothing business about me ;p
Horsecrap, I think your business is your own lol
I love your strap on videos, some of your finest work!
Don’t be pressured to sign an NDA agreement! 😁
But seriously that Barton Elite Silicone in black was a real eye opener.
I just got the grey and tan 20mm versions as well. I like them a lot but that green one is the best!
minitwatch 20mm! You excite 😄
I like the first one and the black rubber one. I wos hoping for some nato straps too :)
Thanks for video. Very good
I like Barton’s quick release bands. Last orange one me no like on that watch Ace.
I'm in love with their elite silicone bands! They are so comfortable and nice!
I smacked my head at bike polo last night and am feeling sorry for myself. Your peanut commentary/tingling has cheered me up though! Hope you're good, bro!
Ouch! Take it easy today! Glad you're feeling better!
Just subscribed to your channel ..your videos are amazing...great job
Hey Curt, if you ever do get your hands on some Rally or Racing’s straps, or even some odd animal leather (i.e stingray, ostrich, lizard) I’d love to see that . Like always I enjoy the channel
I am always looking for new stuff :) thanks, Jesse!
I love your Hadley Roma MS834.... can't find them anywhere in 20mm though :-(
None of the links I have listed will ship to you?
Actually amazon.com will ship to me, happy days! Cheers Kurt :-)
Omg why cant i find this watches at amazon damn
What about hirsch straps?
so, in late 2020, what would be an alternative to the "02:52 Timestrap red scales leather" ? ideally from Amazon and that'll ship to canada?
Need to invest in some eulit perlon 18mm straps
I no longer have any watches that use 18mm lugs. That would look funny :p.
minitwatch oh I thought this was 18 🤦🏽♂️
No, man. It's a 20mm :) There are a few Seiko 5's that use 20mm lug widths but they are becoming rare :(
7:35 Do you have any scrap buckles knocking around? I reckon it would look cool with a polished silver buckle but a gold middle bit.
I don't have any :( I suppose I could take something off an existing strap haha
How is that black Barton silicon for collecting lint? I find some other companies silicon straps tend to collect lint and dust a lot.
It collects lint but not as bad as a totally smooth silicone.
Vintage Omega manual wind or a shiny Seiko 5 with a good leather strap? Taken the price doesn’t matter. What would you say?
Assuming the vintage Omega has been recently serviced and is in good condition, I'd have to go with that. The cool-factor of the Omega is just miles more than the Seiko 5.
That's an happy dude 😂😂
Is it weird that the black silicone strap makes the watch look more expensive?
It is weird! I think the same thing!
It is not the silicone material, it's the black color which matches with the dial. In my opinion the most elegant is 7:19

Hei Kurt thx really nice video.
Can i request strap video for mini turtle
I have blue mini turtle and wondering what the best for it maybe shark mesh or blue nato
It's safe, but the sixth is the best.
Hi my wrist is about 6,1 inches. What size do you recomend me on watches?
That green silicone though hnnnn hmm gnnnnnn. I want that for my snzg13
Do it!
minitwatch all day. All day
What color of strap should i choose for gold dial? (Seiko 5 snkk13k1)
thanks :D
Im not big on gold either. I enjoy your videos though!
Curts "sexy strap" show!! Awesome video dude😎👍👊
Thanks, man! Mage-Preesh.
Try with a green perlon strap (or other colors)...
I know that perlon make marks, with the time, on backcase but i think it could be great.
Bye.
The perlons I have are garbage lol. When I get higher quality, real (Nylon6) ones, I'll give it a go!
The red scales just tickles my inner pimp hand! Japan trip update???
Soon, my friend :) Soon.

Yeah nah yeah
My pet bunny carried that watch in its butt all the way through customs. It came out even more golden.
That's fucking amazing. You've a magic bunny!
I'm starting to think that the boys may have some unresolved childhood issues.....🤔
Ted is doing pretty good for being millions of years old. Uncle Jimmy on the other hand...yeah he's got lots of issues. :p
I like the porn strap the best lol.
Awww yeah! lol
That watch is so sexy
