The off center Seiko is driving me nuts.

Very nice!!

Anyone know which shop got stock more original strap for seiko and other strap choice?
My rubber strap tear apart and maybe want to try other strap.
Prefer sunway or puchong.

Hi All,

Newbie reporting in.

My first Seiko 5 Sports.

Hi Owen,

I am looking for something as well as backup and replacement for my old watch too (rubber type).

Leather with Seiko logo or some non-brand replacement. if interested, ping me.. maybe can 'share' the shipping fees.

Sample are:

My suggestions are these two:

Borealis Rubber Strap
but shipping is USD10 iinm

or

OM rubber strap
Free shipping!

Both brands above got good reviews in WUS forums for good value/quality straps.
OM also have isofrane style rubber straps and leather straps on their website, check them out.

Are seiko watches cheaper in Japan? It seems cheaper online but how about in stores?

those OM isofrane straps dont fit wrists smaller than say 6.75".
real isofrane are designed just abit differently so they can fit down to smaller wrists...but of cos 4-5x more expensive

only issue with both those straps are they dont really take the fat seiko 2.5mm bars...better to also source for the 'skinny fat' bars that sellers like wjean on ebay sells.

I have the 7" wrist, and I have the OM iso on my SKX007 now.
I'm at the last hole, the fit is ok, i can put my ring finger in, but still prefer if can be a bit tighter.
I successfully squeezed the fat bars in, and will use some WD40 to get it out if I want.

yea, thats why i said 6.75" or so.
the OM definitely cannot fit my wrist when i put it on my protrek.
isofrane confirm can, but i dont wanna pay rm400+++ for one.

and i think u are suppose to grease the bars first before putting in?
i once tried on a cheap rubber strap without putting in some lube...damn hard to take out... in the end i got irritated so i just cut the rubber strap to remove the bars

Am I supposed to put WD40 first then?
Damnit.
Just gotta find some new springbars then.

Oh, pictures.









Edit: Fixed pictures.

Thanks to those pictures I realised my strap at 6 is upside down.

Spam some Sakura pics.

Yesh it's true that the OM straps fits bigger wrists better. Have a 22mm feels a little too long for me.

Well, there's SKX007 in rubber & nato in earlier post, therefore ...

You got it half right. It's one skx007 in rubber and one Skx013 in nato. 😏

Ah.. No wonder the MM300 looks big

What strap are those?

Seem like some new models coming up soon on prospex line

Is it just me or is the numbering off centre again?
