Seiko

Arguably iconic. Not the best out there from any perspective including price. Spotty QC. My 07 screws down more confidently than my 09 for example, both being “Japan” examples. Doesn’t hack. Can’t wind it. But I love it. I wear it most days alternating it...  

Tool watch par excelance. Great for roughing it up. Given my Seiko Diver's to my son in college. His enjoying it immensely. Tfs. Handsome watch. 😉 Geross 👍

But they didn't have the SKX007 / 9 then Echi

Been looking at getting an 009. Any idea if there's a Seiko steel bracelet available for it?

Should be available online through sites like strapcode, Amazon, longislandwatch. Or your local Seiko or watch store.

But, I see now that it's available from Strap Code. Thank you!

The 009J (mine) is available only with a rubber strap.

I might just get it on rubber and buy the bracelet separately.

Knew a girl in college who fit that description.
