Love that watch! I'm a real fan of the JLC Cal. 631 in there!

Swapped out the aging strap in my GS with a Hirsch strap. Also swapped deployant buckle with a GS tang buckle.

an after market strap. no wonder why it looks so good, with the watch

Thanks for all the kind words The Hirsch strap is basically an upgraded and dressier version of the original
1. Larger, rectangular scales
2. Thinner, minimal bolstering
3. Glossy finish

I was not a fan of the GS deployant buckle because it added a lot of thickness. The nice thing is that it can be easily converted into a tang buckle.

some1x, i went over to the hirsch straps website. they made some good straps but you replacing the buckle with the grand seiko buckle add something to it. i don't know maybe some original style? grand seiko or seiko should take notes

Thanks!
Yeah, I love this thing. Got it at the IWC shop in Zurich in 2001. So, while not 'vintage', it has a few years on it.

Cheers.
