Before the new strap it is like this:


And after the new strap is put on it is shown below:


I think it looks a little better butthe new strap needs to break in. :)

Trent I got them from Eddie Platt from http://www.timefactors.com. Good quality straps and very good price!

Randy, LOL!!! Now why was that so? Cos before I changed the strap, I took the pic with very low lighting as my baby gal wassleeping. So I had to let the shutter wide open a little longer. After I changed the strap, my little princess was awake and I turn on more light. Btw, I did a stupid thing and turn the hands CCW to make the pic look better! :P Did you realized the time went backward after the change? LOL!!!:D:D:D

Ken you will find out who is the guy who influnced me soon, I heard he had recently bought a SHARK SKIN strap for his ANA pilot like mine!!! LMAO!!!:D:D:D

And Thank you, Oscar! But I like your watches & straps combos better!

Hi Dave & Trent, I am afraid this SEIKO is almost extinct on the net. Though it is a limited production and not a limited edition, I know more people who own the Yellow Monster(limited edition of 300 pieces) than this ANA Pilot edition.

So far I only know Ken and I have it! :):):) I really do not know where to find another one now. I found one and Ken snapped it up!!! :?:?:?

Thanks Jackie, I appreciate the info. At least this will save me the cost of another watch (for the time being) :D

Time will tell ! Time will tell! :D:D:D

The strap is really very nice and water resistant too! I have bought another exact one but in smaller size for one of my vintage watch. (pics to follow)

They were a limited production watch and fairly hard to find.  I would post WTB on the sales forums, especially the Seiko & Citizen Watch Forum (SCWF).

IMHO, they are one of the nicest Seiko designs around!
