New strap, might as well be a new watch!

An Allwrists strap for the 44GS case. Royal blue tegu lizard with folded edges. Seriously makes me consider my peacock as a dress watch now. It's like I'm seeing the peacock dial for the very first time again... Wow.

Grand Seiko needs to do this from now on.

I have gone through so many straps (lost a good deal of money 300+USD) trying to find a strap for this watch, including purchasing one directly from Grand Seiko, all of them failed miserably. The 44GS is a thick case and there is no beating around that bu... 

Yeah bespoke is the way to go!

The strap and watch look great together.

Thanks for mentioning Allwrist. Did not know about them.

I was hesitant about the prices

But they sure delivered well, I'd compare the quality of this strap to the sailcloths of Omega and Artem. I also had extensive interaction through email in terms of choosing the right leather, lining, stitching, all the works essentially. I'm curious abou... 

Many compare it to the VC overseas

which I have yet to see, though from pictures neither are lacking in depth and richness. It's just that the GS has a stunning texture that occasionally pops out as well!

Very nice, amazing what a new strap can do.

Colour and textural dimensions. Very pleasing to look at.

I had a similar GS that came out at the same time, special SE Asia edition, with same strap issues of thickness

The problem I had was to match a color that was different all the time, from whatever angle you view it. Purple-ish angle Deep blue angle Deep navy - black look I don't have any pictures of the straps I tried - none of them satisfactory so I sold it one t...  

Thickness is a product of design

If you compare the evo 9 case and the 44GS with the same 9SA5 movement, the 44gs wears way thinner despite not being any thinner due to the lug design. Truly an interesting phenomenon. I love the original peacock in green and actually tried it before even... 

The strap pairing is spot on!
