Was just reading the write up on HODINKEE. Love the nod to that era. So much fun, yet still a serious watch.

I got mine too. Bracelet was presided but too big and it seems it’ll be a hair-ripper. I mean, the watch is nice, but it’s thicker than I would have liked (though the dial is really deep which is very cool) and the bezel turns without any clicks.

Undecided tbh…

So I resized the bracelet and tried it on. I really really like the watch itself, but despite its 70s vibe, can't stand the feel of the bracelet. Think I'll buy a 20mm tropic strap and see how it sits...

Very nice. The Seiko bracelets are typically a hit or miss. For me, more miss than hit.

Would a 20mm Turtle bracelet be a good substitute??
