Picked this up today.
Since my AD lost their Rolex dealership they now sell Grand Seiko, really impressed with the quality of the Skyflake.

Anyone recommend a waterproof leather strap for this model?

I love my spring drive. I still find myself starring at the seconds hand from time to time! (pun intended)

Came close on this one. The darker color of the reserve didn't suit me and the Snowflake kept repeating "I'm the one." Great watches!

Apparently you can order a bracelet for it at extra cost obviously.
