Doesn't the new OS GMT look like an Aqua Terra? Beautiful!!

The Orient STI M-Force looks nice as well, they got rid of the bumpy bezel and to a flushed one (on the top size) which I prefer...

Mockup per above. Sadly the likelihood of finding a curved lug strap that integrates properly is very low...

Glorious. I actually mocked up this watch with a blue strap just for kicks and it's a great match.

I've been meaning to ask did the original Star Seekers start as Jaoan/Europe only and then ultimately make their way to NA?

Veda where did you order your GMT from?
Japan only. Got mine on Ebay I think it's running $925 now.

Why the curved lugs? The Hirsch Viscount matches perfectly, close enough to the watch itself.

Anybody managed to weigh their watch with the bracelet? I'm still very much curious as to how much this weighs in bracelet version, with all links.

Very nice! Anyone can photoshop the stitches on the strap to red? Like the GMT hands.
I was thinking that but wager would be pretty garish. I'll try it later if I get a chance.

I've seen a Patek with the above mentioned strap on Instagram but can't seem to find the pic now. It looked pretty good.

Anyway may I know where is the blue strap from?

Here's mine on bracelet today.

ya, definitely better in blue stitch.
I think the blue stitch AND the red stitch both look amazing!

Very nice. I guess it's a different feel, red being more sporty. May I know where did you obtain the pic of the strap? Seems kinda hard to find a strap in that shade of blue

Whenever I do those I just hit Google for "blue leather watch strap" of somesuch and roll through the image hits until I find what I want. Oftentime (as was the case here) it's on another watch and I just extract the pieces.
One thing to keep in mind is that the lugs on this are 21mm which might limit strap options. I had a 22mm leather on mine for a while, just squeezed it in, which worked sort of ok, had a little dimple. However, it did deform the strap enough that when I went to put it on a 22m, there was a gap.
Anyone have any suggestions on the best place to buy one of these? I've never purchased anything from Rakuten and I'm a little apprehensive about it.
Interesting you ask as I've wondered about Rakuten myself.
Rakuten is fine. Most accept PayPal as well, so you're covered in any case (some also accept credit cards so again, you're covered).
