Remember watches? I'm not a fan of limited edition Seiko school/university watches OR The Ice Monster...so I ate my words when my high school came up with one in 2015. Of the 500 made, my brothers and I each have one since we all graduated from Xavier School 😎

On the other hand, I'm not a fan of limited edition Seikos, but I am a fan of the ICE MONSTER (modestly modded of course ;- )

Thanks, I thought so too. I felt the presentation of the dial, combined with the stainless bracelet was a little blah--the steel didn't pick up the nice blues in the chapter ring, hands, and indices at all. I went through several shades of blue fabric straps and none of those really worked either. Eventually I found this Seiko silicone strap (actually intended for one of their Tuna models), and decided to try it out. The color was good--but the position of the lug holes were off just enough to make it impossible to fit. The solution was an X-acto knife and some careful trimming. Not for the faint of heart, but it's exactly the look I was looking for.

RayFThanks for the warning on having to trim the strap :) I have time on my hands and I can use the practice with my modeling blade haha
