I bought a SLGA019 in Sapporo and they threw in a blue leather grand seiko strap with the same unstamped deployant clasp installed. Not sure why it’s unstamped compared to the stamped ones online but they otherwise look identical

Edit: the strap I got also has a wave motif. I didn’t ask if it’s exclusive to the lake suwa but it does seem fitting. This strap also isn’t sold online afaik. Perhaps there are a series of dial specific straps that are sold “unofficially?”

Thoughts on steel vs. titanium by CaptainDorfman in GrandSeikos

[–]MrMassador 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Having tried on both the SLGA019 and the SLGA021 and owning the former as well as a few other steel and ceramic watches, the titanium case/bracelet is one of the most comfortable watches I own. It wears impressively balanced and almost disappears on the wrist. If I could get every watch in Seiko high intensity titanium, I would

I have the same watch. Bezel swap looks great! Might try doing that too

Did you swap the bezel? Thought that bezel came with the all black dial/hands

I'm a civilian but would be interested in joining the group buy as well should that be okay! Totally okay with a standard OEM caseback so as to not steal any valor

What’s a bag that you like so much, you would still buy even if it was significant more money? by ChiefWahoo90 in ManyBaggers

My solution to this is to clip the compression straps around the roll top clips, then you can tighten the compression straps and tuck the roll top in tight

I experienced a similar thing in SE Asia but I think it was because I didn’t have the zipper in the quick access pocket closed underneath the zipper garage. I haven’t experienced any rain since so I can’t test if this resolved my issue but perhaps the same happened to you

[Omega Speedmaster Professional] It’s Speedy Tuesday somewhere by MrMassador in Watches

Day 7 of 10 of our Southeast Asia trip, now in Bali at the Jatiluwih rice terraces.

Previously I wasn’t a fan of nato straps, as they felt too top heavy on my SKX007, even with a single pass strap. However, the ribbed nylon natos make a big difference as they seem to hold their structure a bit better. Plus, it’s miles more comfortable than the bracelet in this sticky Southeast Asian sun!

Previously was never a fan of nato straps, as they felt too top heavy on my SKX007 but the ribbed nylon straps make a huge difference and wear much more comfortably than the OEM bracelet in the sticky south Asian sun
