    I own #007997, for me an absolute keeper. It stays close to the original with a better movement and better water resistance (now 100 meters vs 70 meters in the past).

    I have it and I think is really special. If you don't like the bracelet is very easy to choose another because of the shape of the endlinks.

    Congrats and you’re right, finding an alternative to the stock bracelet shouldn’t be too hard. Thanks for the feedback!

    For a small wrister like me there is a substantial difference in the wearing experience between the stpk17, which is only 43 mm long with a lugless design and curved down case shape, and the citizen tzuyoza with its unarticulated end links. In terms of comfort, to me, there's no competition: the seiko wins easily.

    I don't think it's fair to compare this to the other watches. This has a very specific look which the others don't have, and that's likely the reason someone would buy it.

    But if you put in sapphire better movement and better bracelet it no longer staying true to the original intent of the original watch. That’s what makes this watch special a very close reproduction of the original watch…..which is great basic reliable watch that everyone can afford.

    I have it and I'm thinking about buying a black rubber strap for it.

    That should look cool. Maybe even a racing style one with large holes. Thanks for the comment!

    Hello. Mine varies no more than plus two seconds a day. I definitively purchased two optional leather straps and the watch has become one of my favorites! One is a dark red rally type; the other one is also automobile oriented, black, red-threaded. It's absolutely comfortable. Whether you should keep it, I can't tell. I'm in my early fifties; I'm already an original no non-sense 1971 model. So this watch and I immediately made click. There's a proper time for things and persons to naturally "click". I spent more years in the 20th century than I've spent in this. I learned to tell the time with those watches and clocks. Greetings.

    I would look into putting it on a beads of rice bracelet or something similar, but then that's adding another €50+ onto the effective cost of the watch so may be not worth it in the end
