Cool Seiko. Is there any chance you are from Austrailia?
No, sir! I am Mexican, but if there is anything I can do to help, I will gladly do so.

Lou, this looks so good I gotta ask...Is this the modern strap? And if so did you have to employ curved bars to get the fit right?

Kentex Marineman (made in Japan, Seiko NH35, kind of the "interesting cousin" Japanese brand. Super solid construction and a sea horse).




Please tell the class about the shadow box full of badges.

Thanks! It’s actually Uncle Seiko’s version of the modern strap they call the Omega Seamaster 300m Curved FKM Rubber Strap. It took a little pushing and squeezing but I was able to use straight spring bars. Had it for a year now and I really like it...hard to beat for $50. I imagine that oem would work the same, but don't have direct experience.

Edit: couple of bonus pics for your reference.


AT for this morning...YaY!

It's actually a corkboard with lots of cloisonne pins I've collected. Mostly car brands I have worked for(a bunch), racetrack, race events and drivers from the 80's and 90s.
