Thanks to all for the positive response!!! Since you all seem to like the idea and since i love making these vids I'm currently working on the next video's. I love to hear from you guys what you're suggestions may be. What straps would you like to see? Which brands are killer and not in my collection yet? I'll be moving away from aliexpress and into the 20 to 60 bucks mid-tier straps since I feel this would suit my mid-tier watch collection better. I like straps that fit different watches, so 'watchmonsters' in a way. Let's keep in touch! Alex.

As per your recommendation, all have the easy quick install spring bars.

This is really useful to see especially as the bracelet that comes with this isn’t great and it’s a relief to see that you can quickly improve the look. Now can you do this with a Seiko presage? 😂

[@benjaminalabau1345]

I just bought the SRPE61 and automatically came to check if you had the video trying several straps on it. ;) I'd like if you had some straps a bit more colourful. Light and dark colours, like blue, orange, red, even yellow. By the way I love the dark gray NATO strap, I'll try to get one. Congratulations on the channel!

Hi Benjamin, that dark grey nato is pretty good. I must say I'm not really into colorful straps per sé. But if you have must see recommendations I'll check them out 🙂

Hi, Thanks for the great video - 30 time is I’ve just bought a black faced Seiko five field watch and I’m trying to find the right strap to match. Your video shown me several options so thank you: what exactly is the canvas strap that you show at around 4:30? I’ve taken off the Seiko bracelet as personally I’m not keen on steel bracelets and it currently has padded brown leather which looks okay but a little formal, so that worn canvas strap looks perfect for the look I’m going for. Thanks again from a new subscriber.

[@claudiot9430]

Very nice video! i'd like to ask u something, i'm a neophyte in this field, so, i'd start my mini collection with this one, the question is: how can i understand if a strap fits with the watch ? because i think i'll buy some caucciù strap in the future, and i would figure it out before buying, i was thinking that, if it is possible to remove the strap that the watch has when it comes so you can put whatever strap you want, am i wrong ? thanks in advance

[@AnCar88]

Very cool strap show and cool watch choices on your two vids. I was really surprised by how well this dresskx works on a rubber waffle strap. I don't have any first hand experience with these 'new' Seiko 5s but in a vacuum my first idea would be to try to pair it with a jubilee bracelet. As a general suggestion, even though it can be quite annoying to set up, maybe add some links for the straps in the description for quick reference. And as a second suggestion, despite the obvious TikTok talent, don't do it :P. And my vote is on the 62mas.

[@strapchoice3001]

Great idea! I put some of the straps in the description. The others will follow. For your second suggestion: it was a spur in the moment thing haha. I'm new to this and gave it a shot. Some things will be back in the next vid and others, rest assured, will not ;)

[@In10sken]

Hi, Do you happen to know the measurements for the Spring Bar thickness on the default oyster bracelet?

[@jonfavale]

4 watches with 10 straps is 40 different combinations. Assuming they’re all the same lug width. Adding only 1 strap gives 4 more combinations. I think straps are the best way to add variety to your collection.

[@atomalbert]

Nice video. Can you do one with the Seiko Alpinist?

[@theshadowman1398]

I want to get this one to go with a Nathan Drake Uncharted watch strap. Will really match the watch worn in the game

[@oldstock]

I've been considering to buy either the Seiko SRPG field watch or this SRPE dress kx. This strap show of yours has probably pushed the scale towards the dress kx. I would love to able to try different straps to suit different situations. Thanks.

[@Bonpu]

I own both: adore the SRPE61, disappointed with the SRPG27. To me the DressKX is a totally authentic, iconic, flawlessly executed and elegant design with a crystal-clear concept: minimalist designer interpretation of the sports watch theme. Not only the best Seiko 5 but one of the most beautiful Seikos ever and just as iconic and purposeful as a Submariner. The SPRG feels more a half-hearted compromise between an elegant post-war field watch and a contemporary, clunky sports watch. I am particularly struggling with its inadequate 40 mm size, needless weight and bulk (175 mm wrist). Night readability is comparably poor and there is always some haze warping over its dial from its single-domed crystal's unusually strong reflections. It certainly has that distinct retro Hamilton charm but I'd only get it if you want that exact style and can pull off its non-vintage size. Just saying.

[@strapchoice3001]

I've been considering picking up one of those as well. But something is holding me back. I already have the Hammy of course and that particular Seiko seems a little large for it's purpose or designed purpose. Time will tell :)

[@strapchoice3001]

Sounds fair and well thought out.

[@oldstock]

@@Bonpu Thanks for the feedback. Now I'm surely going for the SRPE (at first 😁). I will address the itch for a field watch at a later date... probably some other brand, hehehe..

I am going to be trying some red and blue straps on mine. Getting the black red and blue versions of the curved end straps that you have. I want to get at least one leather strap, but I don't know if I should het a dark color like yours, lighter, or more redish brown color? I also have a thinner not see through caseback coming. I want to see if the already great fit of this watch is even better when its a mm thinner.
