    What strap for blue face?

    What kind of strap would you recommend for this blue face?



    I like the steel bracelet, but I also like wearing the watch on a strap for a change. What material and color would you recommend? It would be great if you can back your recommendation up with a photo of a watch with a blue face and a strap that you like. Thanks.

    im betting the cocktail strap would look the part without being too much.

    I'm sure Seiko will do a brown croc leather strap on a Seiko deployment strap.

    Many thanks. It does not have to be a Seiko strap though.

    I like brown (both tan and dark) and of course blue.

    I'm wearing blue on blue today, keeping it light and comfortable with one of Eddie's canvas straps.

    Many thanks. I appreciate your input on this. I like black, but my wife says black is wrong and dark blue is better. While dark blue is nice I still think black is best.

    I learned this long ago. That is why I say: "yes, dear, of course dark blue would look better." While I still wonder whether it is or not.

    +1 for a tan leather strap
    It works so well with the blue

    Nice. I have one of those in my spare strap box. Looking forward to using it.

    Dark blue or black. Brown strap + blue dial is a no-no for me, never looks right.

    I think brown would be the conventional choice but I am often attracted to blue straps for blue dials. Sorry, no pics of my own.

    Either from a Seiko AD in Germany, where the SARB are sold and officially imported, or from Seiya in Japan.

    Agreed - tan strap with blue dial is a great combination.
