While I do prefer the look of the isofrane, i wanted to try a more affordable alternative. So I decided to go for Seiko's own. It's surprisingly comfortable although I will admit that it is no isofrane in terms of softness. Plus, I've never really liked accordion type straps so I'm pretty sure I'll end up with another isofrane.. just have to figure out this time if their green variant will go well with a blue dial (i think the blue is too much of an obvious choice).
Here it is..

Cheers, Echi
