Damn, if mine doesn’t WOW me, maybe I’ll flip it and my Seiko Blue Lagoon. That plus the money I’ve been saving for a super jubilee would be enough to buy a Speedy.

Yes it’ll sell easy. Could have sold mine for more.
I sold and have more to sell to raise $ for a much more $$ piece. :( wish I’d win the lottery and keep them all :)

if anyone's interested in a gen1 abyss blue with 60m bezel, mine will be on the market as soon as i get unlazy enough to take pictures of it. moving that to make way for the pastel blue. not looking to make premium on it.

Mine just came in. The DLC fixed with grey dial may be the winner this time. Although...the orange 12 hour may be a close second.

Not a question of nice. The straps I've seen all look cheap. That's all.

The rubber strap is definitely nice. The canvas straps aren’t on the level of Micah’s or what I would imagine Drew’s are like but they’re fine. These are begging to be put on natos or mn straps anyway.

I don't expect much from straps that are included with a watch under 1k. But if these are the same straps I saw at Wind Up last year I wouldn't call them cheap. Cheap is the shit you get from cheapnatostraps.com I will call them middle of the road for not being a custom strap. :thumbsup:

Maybe i don't know what the hell I am talking about. But Halios and cheap don't go together I am afraid.

Maybe it's the color choices they used that just looks bad to me.

Orange strap with an orange dial? Sounds like too much orange to me. Should have been black or charcoal.

I got a blue strap and a rubber one with my DLC pastel. Probably won't use the blue like said above about the orange,a bit too much blue

I think you are right on it being the color choices.

Matching the straps to the dial is definitely not a good idea imo.

But I bet hipsters love that shit.
