I have been wearing my Autumn Harvest Redux strap on my Seiko SARW 019 for a week now and absolutely dig its warm, live and vintage look. I want to comment on all the complaints about the strap breaking. I can see the material is prone to breaking at the point of bending where the studs are attached. However I disagree this is down to bad design decisions. I find the design absolutely spot on. The possibility your strap may break comes from the fact it is made from genuine leather and leather is prone to breaking when bent repetitively. If anyone is surprised this may happen then you are at the wrong place altogether - you are better off with a nylon strap or a thick generic strap that is sold virtually everywhere. To ensure my favorite strap will give me a happy smile for longer I came up with a simple tweak shown here using a piece of leather - I had a small leather tag that comes with a new pair of shoes that I had stored back in time. And for just in case, I am planning to order one more of Nick's straps using the generous discount voucher I found in the box for the time when this one will be too tired to serve me any more.
Cheers!
