Okay, I know I was extolling the virtues of the Tuna + NATO combination. However…

When Seiko released the revamped SBBN015/017 they also unveiled the new bracelet that comes as OEM. Now, I’ve worn a lot of good quality bracelets in my time, but nothing – and I mean nothing – has come close to the quality of this gorgeous piece of engineering.

It seems that, to buy it on it’s own, you’ll need to fork out about $400; well, if you buy it new and from the Seiko dealer network in the Far East, that is (because the Tuna is a JDM watch). I was lucky.
