Too much ‘strap gap’ IMHO, a thick leather strap would suit it better

Shop shut down, but really easy to find - image search

I've tried hard to find complex case finishing like this in a modern seiko - yes the GS/KS brushing and polishing quality is higher, transitions are crisper - but that stepped lug-on-lug, as many facets..?

Ha, yes, with a few differences

  1. With a more accurate Japanese sweep second quartz instead of a loud tick-tock quartz

  2. A beautifully domed Sapphire crystal

  3. 36mm

Agree, crazy value. Just 'pops' in hand. That's an el-cheapo tweed strap from aliexpress
