I agree. May ask Paul to make me a cool notched thick strap for it. A lighter color with dark blue stitching maybe.
I also plan to get a Watchadoo or Monster bracelet for it.

Brice, forgive Seiko for the bracelet. It's the head that really matters. That Sumo will be a keeper.....believe me.
Jeff! I gotta say (and it's (I'm) weird I know)
... but as much as the Black Sumo had not clicked at all for me, don't know why, and I flipped it right away at the time....this one is just the opposite... I love it.. the head anyway and will be keeping it.. I think as of now!
1- that the end links just DO NOT go with the lugs, do not fit well AT ALL... like they never thought of the bracelet in the design process and just picked whatever they had in the parts bin and slapped it on.. The end link is not thick enough and does not fill in the lug so itis flush at the top but it also does not match the lug angles/shape.
2- The clasp is almost INvicta cheap...
Oh well I still love it but will be looking for a new bracelet for it, it'll be fun
That's the problem I usually have with Seiko...for some reason they seem to make the lug spacing too small to visually support the head. On some the get it right, and on others (like the Monster) they make it up by notching the bracelet...but in general, the straps usually look to skinning...That said, I own about 11 of them!
Watchadoo bracelets do well as the have a heavy look, but I think I'd go for a custom strap that you can have "notched"!
