I owned the black faced model on rubber strap for 10 months, was very comfortable, but had trouble with it gaining 2 minutes a day, but I had trouble with every Seiko automatic doing same thing, I am a very active wheelchair user, and some watches dont seem like the level of "wrist action" I give them. Overall, great watch, just a little "blingy" for my taste
Wish I could leave mine closed, cant get watch over my hand unless I undo diver extension, it does work loose, but you can get it tight again with a little tweak with a screwdriver. I have the same problem with Gen Seamaster and the replica Seamaster chrono.
Try http://www.timefactors.com/tfstrap.htm and look at the Dreadnought strap, got one for my PO 45.5mm, strap only available in 22mm, some nice straps for Panerai lovers too.
Is this real? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...bayphotohosting I suspect not, looking at the bezel, I have asked for the serial no., not heard back yet. Sorry, you will have to copy and paste the link, bloody newbies eh!!!!!
