Uncle seiko tropic strap!!!

 

I bought a few straps from Uncle Seiko and have to say the quality is great. The tropic looks really nice on the SLA017 and best of all no LINT!

Just be careful with the buckle sometimes the arm is short snd it can slip through the buckle. [nt]

No joke oh got me worried and thinking so I️ removed the uncle seiko clasp and buckle and put the SLA original from the silicone strap on. Fits like a glove. The measurement was perfect.

Keeps adding these weird special characters!!

I too recently bought the same Uncle Seiko "tropic" strap for my SLA017, but after approx. 24 hrs. the watch is back on its OEM silicone.

Aside from being underwhelmed by the plasticky feeling of the new strap, I also noticed the buckle arm issue that Bill was nice enough to warn about herein. On top of that I also noticed that the springbar connecting the buckle to the strap seems to just ... 

Good thing I️ read all this.

Can’t even imagine dropping the watch due to a faulty buckle. So far it’s pretty comfy but I️ also put the strap in warm water to let it mold a little!
