Every now and than, I come back to this video. I saw this video when it came out, and it took me 2 years and half to get the SNKE51, now, after wearing it daily for almost two years, i bought it again to be pristine, and really take care of it, as i got some other ones on the side, to rotate.

That blue leather strap (7.47 - 9.43) is just PERFECT for that watch. Personaly, I would keep it on the watch all the time.

9:45 blue strap is also good! Liked that blue leather, but like that blue suede as the micro 'fluff' rearranges and 'shades' light to the two toned blues, that actually complements the blue sunburst dial!

The dark blue Hadley 👌🏼 Amazing how some of these straps add a ton of versatility to the timepiece and make a sub $100 watch look like a million bucks.

I'm glad to watch a fellow strap nut! Since I don't have a lot of money for tons of watches, I quickly discovered the beauty of strap swapping to transform the few watches I have to fit the occasion. Much cheaper and can be quite effective!

Great video! I’m just now getting into watches and I never knew that these bands can be mixed and matched! I just bought and Seiko 5 myself and switched out the band for a NATO nylon strap. Very casual, everyday, beat up watch.

Your laugh is just crazy man 😂😂😂😂 I love your reviewing and how you tolk 😂😂😂😂

The blue-black crock band on this Seiko 5 SNK E51 is arguably the most beautiful combo I have ever seen. Breathtaking indeed. I ordered the “J” version for $100 and also a deep blue XL crock band. This is truly a ‘must have’ thing. I may have to mod in a Sapphire crystal.

2 years later I did exactly the same to my SNKE51J1 due to this guy's videos. Sapphire with double dome and blue AR and the Hardley Roma blue croc. Brings this little Seiko to a new level.

Lmao your description of the Nantucket blue blue strap. So innocent, so pure!

I like all the options u are showing no one shown like this , love it

The blue suede strap, goes bang on with the dial. It's a match made in heaven if I may say do!

Love it when you zoomy zoom on the strappy straps

Well done. Gives me ideas for bands. Probably spend more on all the bands than I did on the watch.

That blue suede is VERY slick.

OMG , you were very suggestive with the 1st blue leather. Lol I'm subscribing.

Love the sound effects and uncle Jimmy hahaha new sub for that :)

Fun video and great selection - last strap (Red scales pattern) wins! Complements the blue dial perfectly.

Very useful vid. Thanks mate

1st time watching your channel, really like your unpretentious "presenting", Enjoyed the video v-much, I'm looking to buy a decent watch, until I started researching I'd never look at a Seiko but now I know how good they are, again thank for a cool video,cheers from Ireland.

my favorites on it is the mesh bracelet and the blue suede 😍

LOL love the vid, keep em coming, you are one funny man.

The Blue strap is killing it

Thats an amazing Video for that seiko blue dial....did a lot of justice to that asset, i have the same and now going to replace with new strap asap...Thanks buddy..😄

Also, one guy in his amazon review of the band mentioned that he installed a double dome sapphire crystal along with a deployment clasp...the watch looks amazing-he developed a real keeper! Be well.

Thank you. Blue dial watch search brings me to this ultimate strap guide. Very sad, some watches I like it to stick with certain straps so I force to buy a new watch if I need some other combination.:)

Recently I bought this model of Seiko 5, it is really a stunning looking watch costing me US$75, what a bargain. When it arrived it was running 30sec per day fast, not really acceptable after some adjustments it is now running about 10 sec per day slow totally acceptable. Get this watch you won't be disappointed.

Great video as always 💪

I have only just discovered this video, I thought I had watch all your uploads! You are completely right about the Seiko 5 looking good on anything. I've got strap from eternitizzz and combat-straps that cost more than my Seiko 5, but that little Seiko can roll with the punches along side the big boys! That blue 'gator like strap from Hadley roma is beautiful on that! Great vid!

Thats the funniest strap video ever!! Looool now I'll watch more of ur videos just because of the jokes.

The red one at the end is lush. That and the black one were the only ones I liked.

First of all thanks for this video I can not decide but black falls through with me ever and metal too. Brown or blue, you made it harder for me because many bracelets look so good on this awesome watch * lol * I will probably opt for the brown gentlement leather bracelet.

I’ve always said it, a “strap will make or break the watch.”

Good concept on the video. I love the selections as well, except for the mesh, its just not for me. I like how you demonstrated enough of each and then moved on. The beauty of this watch is its versatility with many differnet bands. Good job.

Dude you are hilarious subscribed!!

I should buy seiko 5 like your designs...mine is SNK809 stainless steel version... I like simple and clean dial...

Will these straps work with the Seiko 5 SNK793?

Love the scale strap at the end... is that the red, or the red brown?

I've been thinking about doing the same with a Casio Mtp-1239, blue dial with a brown leather band, what do you guys think?

just bought this watch, and your "safe option" at 4:30 was the clincher

Bruh thats the most beautiful dial ive ever scene

lug width? 18mm? 20mm? love it :)

The Hadley Roma is the best. By far. So sexy. The first one you showed. I picked up that 40mm Tisell Type B cuz of one your last videos. That Miyota movement! I've had it for a week and I love it. The thing that gets me about the Seiko 5 is that it's 38mm. Too small for me, but I do own one and I love it, but it's sparsely worn.

ohhhh I agree 100000000% percent. I have this watch, and the original bracelet was absolute rubbish. I changed it to a black leather band, and it looks great

That savage laugh 😈

The pulsar blue kinetic watch is very similar but arguably better with a kinetic quarts movement and 100M water resistant watcg

That blue strap is really nice

Guys, I really love this look for a watch, but think I would prefer it to be over 40mm. Does such a thing exist in a decent quality? I obtained a Yazole 296 which is just too cheap of an homage (although surprisingly nice for €4 even with steel bracelet), in the larger size, but I'd like something more durable in that look. Thanks!

Sadly the Wocci brown suede is no longer available and is not so easy to find Hadley Roma straps in Italy

Is it possible to get the name on the number 4 there? My Norwegian ears has a hard time to get it... The red/brown leather is stunning!

Great video buddy, love the humor and those transitions hilarious :D I was gonna buy the SNK809 but this one's gorgeous, especially with leather straps (I don't really like metal ones for some reason). I never wore a watch and I started searching for something on the cheap side. I like the minimalistic Swedish design but it was out of my price range. Then I stumble upon on Hamilton Khaki (which is also too expensive) so I found the alternative - the 809. I started binging your videos and then I saw this gem. I never thought I'd like the dress type watch :). I think it's great for casual wear, depending on the straps. What do u think? ps. Sorry for the long post.
