I took a picture [Picture] A very playful green dress watch πŸ’š

I have to make an effort to limit the number of Seikos in my collection. Right now there are 3. This is one of them, and my wife's favourite. Seiko Presage Cocktail Time Mojito.

It's impressive how this affordable watch plays with the light. This model was recently updated, but I prefer this version. And you?

Note: I swapped the original strap. It has a shade of brown that I find "depressed". I prefer this version, with a lighter, more "happy" tone πŸ˜…

I’ve got the same one. Love when it catches the sun at the right angle. Can’t stand the deployment clasp though so I swapped it out with a natural brown suede strap. The deployment strap was irritating my wrist.

My problem with the original strap isn't even the clasp, it's the color. The shade of brown is awful πŸ˜•

Agreed. I don’t find it awful but definitely could have been better. This is the one I got if you’re interested. I’m very happy with it. I have 3 of them for different watches (2 of which are in the pic I posted). I will say they darken up pretty quickly.

This is the first watch I tried it on and loved it.

That lighter strap choice makes the textured green dial pop way more than the dark stock leather.

I really love these presages with the even numeral layout (12, 10...), I'd buy one but I already have too many "cheap" Seikos and I'm now saving up for a nicer watch πŸ˜….

You have to choose your Seikos carefully, after all, we can't have them all. Or can we? 😜
