What a fantastic job you've done with this video. A clear rationale , some great choices and beautifully captured on video. I'd love to see you do the same for the companion piece to this the SPB239.
I am a watch collector whom has not always been enthousiastic about Seiko... But I just had to buy this one. Totally different from anything that I saw from Seiko: milled clasp, decent bracelet, great saphire glass, skindiver design, rolex like chapter ring. I have it two days now! And I love the watch!
I just got the blue and beige single pass nato for my padi turtle today, lovely but one complaint is the sharp edges on the metal keepers nearest to wrist, have to wear it looser to stop the irritation.
Uncle's notes: Do you love the 62MAS reissue but hate the bracelet? The new SPB14x Oyster from your favorite Uncle will fix that. Sleek and slender and without those ugly male end links. What's included: One bracelet, one pair of end-links, two pairs of 2.5mm spring bars (one set with custom tips to fix any tolerance issues).

which one is better Tissot T-Sport Seastar 1000 Powermatic 80 Blue Dial Black Rubber or Seiko Prospex SPB125J1 Automatic Black Series? and what is the price of the item
Hey @WatchGecko! I bought your zuludiver seacroft waffle FKM rubber strap (MKII) for my SPB143 but it has quick release spring bars so I’m not sure how I am meant to change it to the thicker bars to fit the seiko lug holes? The one in the strap is definitely a bit loose :( Any suggestions??
Firstly, thanks for your purchase! We hope you like the strap. Secondly, we've got a video on how to remove the QR spring bars here: ruclips.net/video/Rhyx4gG0eQM/видео.html
Spb143 maybe a strap monster but the waffle and tropic are not friendly for micro adjust. They wear either too loose or too tight for me. The distances between holes are too long. They are also too thick for the watch. Even the watch cant hold attention due to their thickness. 328 is not good for small wrist. It is too long and the end can't be inserted into the keeper. The vanilla scent is too irritating for me. When i eat, i can only smell vanilla.

Hi just got my Seiko SPB143 today, I have had a look at the links you left and want to buy a strap is it the 20mm strap I need?
@@mark43000 yeah mate 20mm for the SPB143 :)
Y’all are the best at giving strap ideas! I’ve bought so many straps from the website because of these videos!
What a fantastic job you've done with this video. A clear rationale , some great choices and beautifully captured on video. I'd love to see you do the same for the companion piece to this the SPB239.

I have it two days now! And I love the watch!
Note: only point of improvement would be screwed pins for the bracelet.
I love your straps. They even make a less expensive watch look better.
Thanks very much! 😁 - James
Your straps are amazing and would make any watch look incredible! This was was great and all the straps looked great!
Planning on getting the sharp edge Presage bro?
@@kikomachine8276 hell yeah!
@@SoCalWatchReviews haha I thought so... I'm planning to get the Seiko 5kx 140th anniv edition too... The one with the white dial...
Glad you liked my selection SoCal! 😊 And great choice Kiko. If I didn't have this I'd get the white and blue limited edition. - James
@@kikomachine8276 nice man!
Been rotating waffle, tropic and French paratrooper straps for my 143... Love the watch... Any strap looks great on it!
All great choices! 👌- James
Which strap size you get 20 mm? I am a novice thanks
I ordered several straps and a watch link and strap changing kit. Looking forward to playing with my newly unboxes SPB143
I have a ox blood colored strap that I think would really look good
on this Seiko. Not a distraction but very classy I would think.
A two-tone bronze bracelet would be awesome for the spb147 & 145.
Great info for this watch.⌚
I have a Longines Heritage Diver...thanks., it was useful to check out alternatives to its sailcloth strap.
I just got the blue and beige single pass nato for my padi turtle today, lovely but one complaint is the sharp edges on the metal keepers nearest to wrist, have to wear it looser to stop the irritation.

Great vid, all great choices
I love that olive nato
Best Seiko diver for your straps, and yes... this is the one.
Do all seiko dive watches use the 1.1mm tip spring bars?
do your straps come in shorter sizes for smaller wrists - for the rubber straps
which one is better Tissot T-Sport Seastar 1000 Powermatic 80 Blue Dial Black Rubber or Seiko Prospex SPB125J1 Automatic Black Series? and what is the price of the item
May I ask what is your wrist size? Thanks
I've just bought a seiko samurai. It's quite a chunky piece of metal! Best straps for heavier watches?
Just get the crafter blue rubber strap for it. There's no better option than that for that piece. I have it on mine and it's the best option.
Now I just need the money for the Seiko.
If and when you get one make sure you get the real deal just bought one myself and couldn't be happier SRPE93
For the waffle strap do I get a 20 or 22mm strap?
What's the lug size on the SPB143?
What’s the brand of the mesh?

Do you sell them in USA?
Take a shot every time he says “now.”
I really want this but its so expensive
Buy a rolex then.. it’s much cheaper and you could impress ladies with

Thx for sharing, was going for a 328, but sounds like passing good with my slightly above 6 inch wrist
the mesh strap looks like someone’s nightmare
😲👍
Wear it on the bracelet
Ship in all countries in EU. Enter in 21st century boys...
Not a single leather strap.... whaaaat!?
It's a dive watch. Who wants to get leather wet, or keep a diver dry!?
@@wintermute8315 how many do you think use this watch to dive? 1%?
And leather can stand water.
@@joakimolsson1024omg leather strap on divers watch. Thank you for sharing your opinion
@@wintermute8315Realistically, are you going to get leather, let alone any strap wet? Mr. Pro Diver?
I don't buy anything watch channels on RUclips call the best
