1. Though the colors of the light strap seem to match both dial and indices perfectly, the dial of this watch is so strong I feel it completely overwhelms the light strap.

2. This blue, too, is a great match. But it creates a monochromatic block, and I loose the watch in all that dark blue.
3. Sometimes—as here—the suggestion of a color slightly different from the one you seek to compliment, actually emphasizes it by calling attention to the difference. And the stripe is in keeping with the sporty nature of the timepiece.
4. I like the shirt, as well!

Which Strap?

 
 By: cazalea : May 1st, 2020-13:22
I got 4 straps when I bought this watch. It came on the black and blue, and I never changed until today. I haven't tried the rubber strap but we all know what a black rubber Seiko dive strap looks like .... Do you have any opinions for me? Thanks Cazalea ...  

Third !😎

Too much blue in the first and second

Great contrast - sand matches the lume, but still with a line of blue to tie things together. Would love to see a photograph with the third strap, with the dial at the same angle to the light as the first two.

The first one. [nt]
