Well, it HAS a power reserve indicator; it's just on the back. ;-)
You and me both...especially me.  | |||

Nice GS! I've wanted an MM300 for a long time but I've never seen one in person to try on. That's a bit too much coin to drop sight unseen for me. | |||

That is very Seiko, isn't it? Lovely. I'd love to see the dial in person. The fish is mute, expressionless. The fish doesn't think because the fish knows everything. | |||

Having failed to find an exact replacement or any replacement parts, I contacted David Truong. His suggestion was much like yours, and he sent me a strap super-quick. Looks great! My "old faithful" Seiko is going back into service.  Thank you, jhe for the suggestion, and thank you David Truong for your generosity. God bless America. | |||

It looks great. Glad you can use it again. The fish is mute, expressionless. The fish doesn't think because the fish knows everything. | |||

Did you call Seiko in NJ? It's my understanding that they keep an excellent inventory of end links and are happy to send out a set. | |||

I made the same suggestion. No luck. The fish is mute, expressionless. The fish doesn't think because the fish knows everything. | |||

| Thank you Very little  |
Nice, I like that band, wonder if it would fit on my Rolex, be a nice change from the gold and silver stock band... | |||

Just a quick update: I did end up buying the SARB017 Alpinist...received it a couple weeks ago, and replaced the leather band with a stainless bracelet...thankfully some research uncovered a Seiko-brand bracelet that was cheaper than the $150 bracelet marked for this particular 017 and fit just fine...looks a lot like this one (stock Internet shot), except my bracelet has a couple thin polished lines going down the center, which actually picks up the polish on the bezel very nicely:  I continue to be very comfortable and pleased with my decision. I haven't given up on the idea of the SARB033, though...maybe in a few years I'll pick that one up as well. | |||

Although it's nothing like other examples posted in this thread, here's my favorite. Number 1790 of 2500. Orient TT0Z002B  | |||

Having changed my 2-tone band on the Yachtmaster as of late. I was just recently sent this image in an email by one of the company's that I bought a leather strap from. Having a blue dial fetish, in the past I've had a coupe of blue dial Sub's and thought this would have been a welcome change from the 2-tone bands on them also.  I just switched the 2-tone for this leather band with the metal links at the case..  Regards, Will G. | |||

I both enjoy and dislike automatics, but I keep going to Amazon and staring at this Seiko SNZG15K1.  Thoughts, anyone? God bless America. | |||

I like it. In case you're not familiar with Seiko 5s, just be aware that (unless it's different than mine) you can't manually wind it; it's self-winding only. That's a little strange, but you'll quickly get used to setting it every time you put it on and then doing some jumping jacks for a few minutes. ;-) | |||

Marathon GSAR with dark brown leather. It's been on for a couple of weeks and I'm digging the look and feel.  | |||

Good to know! That sort of knowledge is exactly why I wanted to ask about it here. The only thing that bugs me is that -- like most of the Citizen models I look at now -- the crystal is flat. That bugs me in my work environment, as there are tons of light sources from which to catch the glare. Most of my other watches have curved crystals, not presenting the glare problem. God bless America. | |||

I've had one for several years. Great watch, no complaints. As mentioned, self-winding only, and no hacking (second hand doesn't stop when you pull the crown). The crystal is mineral, so it will scratch. I put a NATO band on it, and wore it on patrol for several years. I've never really taken it into water, so I don't know how well it really does. My Marathon GSAR (similar to the one above) usually enjoys the water duties  Knowing what one is talking about is widely admired but not strictly required here. Although sometimes distracting, there is often a certain entertainment value to this easy standard. -JALLEN "All I need is a WAR ON DRUGS reference and I got myself a police thread BINGO." -jljones | |||

 Quick shot of my new Trident. Going to be my daily watch. My Seiko Orange Monster will be my rough duty watch. | |||
