Hello all. my first post.
I have recently discovered the pleasure in owning and wearing vintage lcd watches.
So far I seem to be drawn to small and simple designs such as Seiko's late 70s and early 80s F series 'dress' watches ( I like the subtle textured dials).
I have just two watches a F051-5020 and F033-5009 neither have been worn much and both still have I believe their original strap and buckles.
I've never personally liked large watches which is lucky as these two are quite small.
But I think they look fine on my skinny wrist. I'm now thinking what style of strap ( I prefer leather or rubber to steel) to match then with.
I have a couple of textured black Bonetto Cinturini rubber straps on order and also think a tapered strap in either Saffiano leather or textured pigskin in maybe mustard or mocca? would give them an interesting and more casual look.
Anyway here's a couple of pics.
