The Dive Watch Connection

but matching straps to dials (or GMT hands) is what a lot of people do with natos or straps. there was a thread on the main forum about the crafter blue strap to match the blue pelagos, didn't have a negative comment on it.

to each their own. i like the light blue canvas on the pastel blue seaforth.

Some times it works. I don't mind the blue on blue as much as the all orange look, which is just awful.

I agree. I think that blue on blue looks good on the Seaforth. I haven’t seen my orange Seaforth yet, so I’m reserving final judgement until I do, but I use to have an Orange monster and put it on an orange NATO and it was way to much. I found one of the black NATOs with the grey/orange stripes in the middle and that toned it down a lot.

hey, i'm with you that it doesn't always work. just not with "matching the straps to the dial is definitely not a good idea."

and i think orange is probably harder to get right than the pastel blue. it's a more volatile color.

I like the blue. Think an orange band works well with something subtle like an orange minute hand.

The orange is much darker in person.

for me personally matching a strap to an accent color on a dial works. but matching a solid colored strap to a whole dial does not.

Ugh, wish it came with a black strap instead. I’ll see what I have in my strap drawer or maybe just flip it. I’m not feeling it on the orange.

It does come with a black rubber, and I am just feeling halloween right now.

yeah, from pics i like the orange strap, but not with the orange seaforth.

Experiment.

Not yet.
I went through most of my bracelets & curved endlink straps, and this fits best.

Bond bracelets just went up in value.

I bet any sub knock off bracelet would work on the Seaforth.

This dial is the most attractive of the bunch I feel.

Ginault bracelet

Yeah, just searched for pics and this is the orange configuration I ordered but no date, and I’m not feeling it. I’ll check my strap drawer, but unless I find a combo that wows me, it’ll be catch and release.

Bracelet doesn’t feel right to me.
That orange dial pic.. mmm... reminds me of an orange dial Orsa.

No reply from Jason on my order. I’ll give him a few more days then send another email.

halioswatchesSHIPPING UPDATE: Orders 39xx and below will ship on Monday Oct 22. The goal is to ship all orders by the end of this upcoming week (might possibly need until Monday, Oct 27). Thanks for your patience...looking forward to catching up with you soon. ROLDORF edition: production dials expected at the end of next week...after that the dynamic duo work their assembly magic.

Looks like the popular asking price for these watches is $1,200. I love the sunburst gray dial but I'm not paying that price.
