··Home For Wayward WatchesNow with new and improved strap!
I had been rocking this 6309 7040 with its original GL831 strap, clinging to the strap through a keeper change when the original keeper dissolved into pieces. Bought a cheap aftermarket imitation strap just to rob it of its keeper so I could continue to wear the original strap. The replacement keeper spontaneously crumbled after only a couple of years.
This time I tried Uncle Seiko and one of his "clearance" GL831 straps. Ordered out two. The oxidation was insignificant, being a slight dusty bloom on the straps' surfaces. A wipe with a damp cloth left no remaining signs of oxidation. Presto ... fixed!
I was grateful for the original strap seen above, but it was tired, worn at the lugs and a bit stiff, yet still somewhat comfortable to wear. The Uncle Seiko GL831 is as comfortable to wear as a worn pair of blue jeans.

A good deal and a period correct appearance for the Seiko.
