Steeldive's version of the Seiko "Captain Willard" today.
Been awhile for this one, MAS micro diver
Went for functionality today......
Speedmaster Tuesday...
Citizen Promaster today. One would be hard pressed to find a better diver for under $200 IMO. I find this is getting worn more than my much more expensive watches.
Have a look at the blue one, super nice when the sun is out.
I was going to buy the blue but i get a great open box deal on the black. The blue you have does look a bit better.
The only issue with the watch is the band. I am not a fan at all. A$10 NATO fixed that quickly though.
I wore it about a month with the original strap before I gave up. NATO or ZULU is the way to go.
Seiko Kinetic
That strap complements your watch perfectly! Is that the latest Bond?
The original silicon rubber strap might be good for diving but it's quite bulky and didn't fit my wrist so well.
The replacement is 13.99 from AZ, a Chinese seller Guangzhou Yiying Trading Co.,Ltd
It is labled Seatbelt strap stainless steel fittings. There are about 20 designs in sizes ranging from 18-24mm.
Mine is labled as blue/grey/red and really fits the color scheme of the dial
much more comfortable to wear as well.
It's a beauty. Perfect match!The original silicon rubber strap might be good for diving but it's quite bulky and didn't fit my wrist so well.

I pulled the OEM strap off my blue Citizen Promaster, and after trying some different candidates, settled on a NATO in "smoke gray" with a red stripe myself. (Will try to post a photo later.)
Damned Citizen OEM strap is a laminate of nylon canvas over what appears to be polyethylene. Not silicone, but polyethylene!
There's no way that strap was ever going to get broken in. Bought lots of straps from Chinese sellers on AZ. All have been just fine. Even found one vendor who carried ZULUs in 21mm--perfect for my titanium Victorinox INOX. Though not titanium, the hardware is a dead match.

I especially like the Fluorine rubber straps....that is the main reason for my reply here, to recommend looking for a Flourine strap from your favorite retailer, I like mine as well or better as those Italian Rubber straps. I have also gotten a silicon strap from Juelong which was better quality than the one I had bought 7-8 years ago.
Pretty cool looking straps on both sites. I could see myself buying a handful from each! Thanks for posting.Gents with a Promaster might enjoy a replacement strap similar to this:

Outstanding! Love the linen dial. I take it that's a leather NATO strap?
Yes, another one from cheapestnatostraps.
Do you know the history behind the Sigma dials?
