One of my favorite vintage Seikos. Perfect size and case shape for excellent balance, weight and wrist feel.
are the Uncle Seiko bands light weight? I should explore!

The bracelets are solid including end links. Heavy. Excellent quality. The rubber straps are high quality too. I love them. Come in short sizes too so you don’t have all that extra length on the tongue portion of the strap.

Correct! I bought it from the original owner who purchased it in 1973 while on vacation in Asia.

Thank you!

I've got a few more vintage Seikos to go before I head into my cool 1990 anadigi Casio line so you may not see me for a while before I head back up with my modern Seikos

I just received my Sailcloth strap from Strapcode for my Sarb. I’m impressed; nice change so there’s no sweating in leather this Summer, plus I get a casual look. :)
