Cant go wrong with a seiko diver =)

Didn't know they made a French/English version of this.

Nice one. Congrats.

I got the Padi Mini Turtle and I love it. But it's not keeping time as well as I would like it to.

Yes I'll take a pic of the French and post it. I would like better accuracy out of this and plan to have my guy in Orlando regulate it when back there. I really like this watch. More than my Sub.

id give it some time to settle in first before opening her up. 2 weeks ago mine was running about 12 secs slow out of the box. Today it’s about +2 and is looking fantastic on the timegrapher.

That's a good idea. I'm going to give it some time.

Congratulations again art looking good my friend

Very nice, a classic! I like the English/French day wheel. I have a SKX173 that is English/Arabic and a Sinn that is English/German. I want a watch in English/Japanese (I think it’s called Kanji).

You have to buy the JDM version for Kanji days.

I like the SEIKO strap on this watch for comfort, but it’s a lint magnet. Any thoughts about changing it up?

i put mine on an Uncle Seiko GL831, it’s very nice. Soft and comfy, no lint.

I just put the same strap on mine today. No more lint collecting. And I put a “chocolate bar” strap on my “Save The Ocean” Turtle.

Strange, mine doesn't pick up lint at all.

Mine doesn't either. But I know others who it does for them.

it’s inevitable for silicone to attract dust, lint, whatever you want to call it. I see it in the photo you posted. It’s not really a big deal in my opinion.

I totally agree with the lint magnet thing!
I had a”Martha Stewart “ moment while doing some laundry recently.
If dryer sheets can eliminate static cling .... hmmmmm....
so! I rubbed my silicon strap down with an unused dryer sheet ... and I have no more magnetic lint and pet hair. Works like s dream !

PS- yes I know there’s some specks in the pic!
I should add - when stuff does land on the bracelet,! It just needs to be blown off gently.
