Had this Tissot Seastar 1000 for a couple of years now and for some reason it has never been off the original steel bracelet. It's not been getting any wrist time, so a change of look may bring it to life again for me. Put it on a Hirsch Liberty "Nature" for the new look, quite pleased with the result, what do you Guys think?

Not much of a light brown strap guy but Damn Janner that looks perfect and definitely gives that Seastar some pop.. good job and choice.

Janner, I like the combo too, and William's right: it gives it a nice vintage look but in a "hip" kind of way. But to me, and I speak (or is it write?) with no forked tongue, I just prefer that nice, excellently paired original steel bracelet.

For this particular Tissot, I think it's just better on the original bracelethappy1.gif. Don't get me wrong, leather is good but that bracelet just hits the sweetspot.

I like the bracelet- but I have to say that the strap gives more weight to the watch, particularly the bezel. Nice pairing!

Looks nice on that strap.
I have the exact same Seastar, and have played around with various strap options. I keep going back to the original bracelet, however.

Thanks for all your kind replies, I guess there is no right look that will please everyone for any watch, but it is good fun to swap straps looking for your own the perfect match. I don't think I will ever get tired of searching for the perfect strap for any watch, all part of being a WIS.watch2.gif

I've always been a big fan of bracelets, but more and more, I am getting into the nice custom and semi-custom leather straps!

Good thought; definitely makes the watch look different and makes me want to get a new one.

Hi, nice look. How do you like this watch. I considered this but have read some owners have had problems with quality control. A few had some different issues but one that i remember was, his had vapour built up inside. I'm guessing condensation and what not.
Yours been good to you?

Thanks.
Dave

Hi Dave this watch has been OK for me, no problems with the case leaking, although it has never been diving only swimming and snorkeling. It is an unusual design for a dive watch though with an exhibition back and the back held on with small screws, it could be possible for the watch to leak if the screws were not all torqued up evenly, never had the back off this one. I got this watch for a good price so I have no complaints.
