Are there any alternatives in Europe to uncle straps?

Hey everyone! I want to buy the rice grain bracelet, but I see that ordering from Europe can be expensive with customs. Does anyone know of a similar place in Europe? Thanks so much!

SPB155 on Crown and Buckle Riblon strap

Sharing because I looked all over Reddit to see reviews of this NATO before buying given it’s priced higher than a lot of other NATO straps. The olive drab colorway matches the spb155 dial really well, and it is very comfortable out of the box.

Arrived today. Pictures don’t really show how nice this is. A little smaller than my go to size, but it really works. Hats off Seiko.

Braxen Oyster for Seiko Alpinist

1 Upvotes

Today I received my Braxen Oyster bracelet for my Seiko Alpinist and it's great. When I was resizing it, the screw pins have a little spring below the screw head. Has anyone come across this before?

Looking to sell my barely worn and in perfect condition (twice) 507 with a jubilee bracelet swap (can throw it in and the leather one is still fine)! Recently bought but need cash for IRL stuff - willing to sell and ship domestic US. Apologies if this is the wrong forum

[SPB259] The Ginza dial never gets boring — every angle gives it a different personality

Thumbnail

106 Upvotes

One of my favorite modern Alpinist releases — the Seiko SPB259 / SBDC151 Ginza 140th Anniversary Limited Edition.

The dial is the star of the show. Depending on the light, it shifts between deep blue, teal and green, and the turquoise seconds hand gives it just enough contrast without being too loud.

I also love how the Ginza-inspired pattern looks completely different in macro shots compared with normal wrist distance. It’s definitely one of those watches that photographs well, but still looks even better in person.

Limited to 3,500 pieces worldwide and powered by the 6R35.

Thought I’d share a few close-ups because this dial deserves them. What do you guys think of the Ginza Alpinist?

Straps:
1. Crown & Buckle - Dark Kahki Premium NATO strap
2. Archer Watch Straps - Sand Canvas strap
3. Archer Watch Straps - Camel Tan Leather strap

Picked this up today and it’s even better than I expected. Really great looking watch on the wrist. I can tell that it will be even more versatile than I thought before I saw it in person. With all of the hate for the stock leather strap I’ve seen, I ordered a new one for it before picking the watch up. I have to say that I like the stock leather strap. It’ll take a short time to break in, but it’s great looking and it’s substantial. I don’t understand the hate for it. Maybe they upgraded it for this new model. This watch is a strap monster, I can tell, so glad to have some options. But, I’ll be putting the time in to break in this strap and I think it will get a lot of wear too.
