I never liked the accordion style strap but I think a maratac would look great on that. Or Even a distressed leather.

That looks like the first Seiko diving watch I bought back in the summer of 1970 when I was 14 years old. My parents bought it for me from a jewelry store we visited in New York City. I think the retail price was around $75.00, we got it for $50.00. I sold it eight years later for the same price I paid for it. Then in June of 1978 my parents bought me my first Rolex, a Submariner-Date. They paid around $350.00 for it after they got the 20% discount from the AD in New Jersey, where we use to live 35 years ago.

Seiko's killing me here... I really like that, just like most of their dive watches. This'll be rather popular I'll bet. Can't wait to see some actual pictures of it once they get posted online.

Yeah, I don't mind the hour and minute hands one bit but the second hand with the lume on the opposite end would take some getting used to for me. Over all though I'm still a fan of this piece.

Oh I just noticed the backwards lume on the second hand.
Not a fan of that either.

I would totally do that. I'm just so used to the lume being on the opposite end it would be weird going from one to the other with a watch like that. The good thing about Seiko is you've got options like that.
