Orange isofrane on seiko srp779 turtle?

Howdy all!

I can’t seem to find any images but does anyone have pics of a seiko turtle Pepsi srp779 on an orange isofrane style strap?

I wonder if green or orange would work?

Probably because that's a bizarre color combination and not many people mix a Pepsi bezel with either an orange or green strap.

But if you like either one, then it works!

If I were to go for a color, I would choose khaki as it plays off both navy and red. Maybe gray?

Green would work. Here is a Toxic Magnum on a SKX009.

maybe can try out a cheap NATO first to see if you like the color combo?

I used to have my SKX009 (now sold) on an orange Zulu, but without the pepsi bezel, so is a little hard to tell how it would look.



I think the orange and red on the bezel would look a little weird, but probably not too bad.

I’m going a different route. I sourced a vintage 70’s blue tropic strap that might suit it better:

You'll certainly have a "one off" that's for sure!
