    The Seiko Samurai Blue Lagoon that I acquired the other day arrived this morning.

    Tried it on, and even before I have adjusted the bracelet, I love it. This one is definitely a keeper.

    Looks fantastic, had been toying with the idea of adding one of these to my Seiko collection :D

    Buying Seiko's can be addictive, some great watches over the years at relatively good prices.

    Beauty. I have the Turtle and the way that light hits the dual-blue bezel is incredible.

    Just for a but of fun last night I threw it on a NATO strap.

    It was dead easy to change as the watch has drilled lugs.

    I quite like the look, so I'm going to be going shopping today for a blue and yellow NATO along with a few others. [emoji848][​IMG][​IMG][​IMG][​IMG]

    And then he put that NATO on it :thumbsdown:

    I liked the lume shot because I couldn't see that NATO ;)
    ( at least I'm honest and telling you :thumbsup: )



    (((( full disclosure I dislike coloured NATOs with a passion ))))

    That strap was just put on to see how easy it as to change it.

    I'd definitely be looking at a different coloured one that actually matches the watch colours.
