    Reccommend straps for a Seiko Bellmatic

    I've got a Bellmatic heading my way (4006-6030, dark blue face), currently stuck waiting fir customs approval!! While I'm waiting can anyone reccommend a decent solid link bracelet that will fit (to replace the original pressed steel)? I'm also thinking if pairing it with a brown leather Hirsch Liberty. Any thoughts?

    You would be better to wait until the watch has arrived. Some Seikos of that era have very small gaps between the springbars and the case, so you might struggle to get a thick strap to fit.
    Although no trees were harmed during the creation of this post, a large number of electrons were greatly inconvenienced.

    Thanks for the advice. I've seen pictures of the same model but no idea what straps are shown on it. I'll wait before making any purchases though.

    If it will fit a Di Model Rallye might look good

    Blue detailed watches match always great with brown leather. Not to shiny, maybe something with a rough finish?

    Best! Glenn

    No matter what - what matters is that YOU should like it, so what WE think is really if secondary importance:)

    Well the Bellmatic finally arrived and I went for the Di Modell Rallye in brown. I have to say I'm loving both the watch and the strap. Thanks again for the recommendation.
