Seiko enamel dial spiced up with a new strap !
Do you prefer the original or new “lightning” blue with white stitches ?
Excellent watch. The dial work, not visible here, is of high quality, as is the movement. A classic example of a SEIKO that delivers much more than it costs.
You‘re quick!
4 min 47 sec for a strap change, including 2 pics.. you seem much better than me at changing straps!
I like the royal blue one. It packs some energy into the blue.

The new blue might be a tad too wild for me but I do really like the white stitching! Mine says hello!
Glad that you like the white stitching ! I forced the
strap maker to put it on to accentuate the white hour markers and hands.
She grudgingly agreed because she thought it would be too much !

It is also another limited edition enamel dial with guilloche, and it is so
lovely in the metal !
Yes, the new strap will work
well with this piece !
Will you get this "lightening" blue/royal blue strap for your watch ?

It's possible I would if I had the guilloche dial version. I've thought of getting one in the past. Seems I can't have too many blue dialed watches!
Pref the color of the Original strap tbh . But the fit on the wrist of these og straps is horrible 🫣
I put mine on a bracelet long ago
It was a experiment back then but i loved how it turned out and never changed it again 😉
Your bracelet gives the watch a
breath of fresh air !
With my small wrist, the original strap is way to long !

I have a big wrist and this is a relatively thick bracelet but loved how it gave the watch a fresh look like you said
They both look good - I think the second will look really good after a few more wears & it's broken in.
Dear Gordon, the shiny bright blue alligator straps with white stitching does rejuvenate the Seiko blue enamel dial. Enjoy!
I think for me the original.
But I could do either and it’s a close call.
Value per square mm of enamel pretty high with these guys. It’s a discussion I had with someone earlier this week regarding the Patek Worldtime. The different maps are not equal in my opinion, I feel like US/EU gives one more “value” in terms of more detailed enamel work.
That’s just a layman’s opinion. But as the “King of Cloisonné” I wonder if you’ve had this thought.
Interesting topic on the relative "value" of enamel dials ! My take is really coming from the perspective of an
"enamel slave/addict" !
What forum should this discussion take place ?

It may be a general topic, but of course it came up as I had a few PP in front of me.
And with them on the table my immediate thought was there’s a lot less detail on one of these versus the others.
Now the other point is that if choosing one does the buyer automatically opt for the watch showing their home region? For me for example, would that mean I automatically want Europe on the dial.
I’d be interested to hear what the seasoned Patek collectors think. The Cloisonné WT is a watch I’ve loved for a long time, and it may just be eclipsing my long standing love for the regular WT.
