    Best strap for Seiko Ninja Turtle (SBDY005, SRPC49) Ideas pls!

    Hi guys, I received my Seiko Ninja Turtle a while back (this is the Japan edition as Im currently in Japan).

    The standard rubber whilst comfy, is abit too long and the taill sticks out too much. What strap do you think would go well with this kind of watch?

    Would a brown strap work ok with a PVD Case? Should I stick with rubber? Some thoughts would be appreciated!!

    Thank you so much!!

    Here's a few I've tried mine on, with the favourite probably being the Isofrane.

    I'm still experimenting! Here it is on a brown leather I had around.

    Yeah there's no accounting for taste.

    The first diver's watches were on leather straps so you could view it as just being traditional.

    Indeed, the Isofrane suits it so well. the proportions are just right and of course the colour works great.

    Sadly Eddie doesn't do a 22mm version of this so I've ordered a couple from elsewhere to try:

    I'm now the very happy ownwer of a 22mm NATO from Crown & Buckle. I bought something similar from Watch Gecko but it's so stiff it's virtually unwearable. I may beat the living daylights out of it to see if it loosens up. Neither is anywhere near as comfortable as Eddie's 20mm NATO but it needs to be 22mm on the Ninja. And yes, those are tweed slippers.

    Sand colour or beige suede would work well imo.

    This is one of Eddie's NATOs but it's 20mm and the Ninja Turtle needs a 22mm:
