Ive had my chocolate seiko 5 since 2021 i believe this particular model is now discontinued 😮its grown on me over the past few years even more than when i 1st purchased it which i suppose is a good thing,the colour and texture of the dial is like an aero chocolate bar, its realy cool and the bronze case finishing is top class by seiko! Its a watch i,l always keep in my collection and the price on those which are still available has risen considerably in the later part of 2023, a different and unusually attractive timepiece imo a keeper for me hot chocolate 😊
You may already know this… Concerning the NATO… trim off the lose portion of the NATO. It is not needed and makes the watch sit higher on the wrist than it needs to. The 5KX typically has enough friction to prevent the watch from sliding off the NATO when taking the watch on and off the wrist.
Hello!. I have to say that I am not a fan of nato straps, I am a bracelet guy, so that Seiko is not for me. I prefer the look of my Seiko Recraft SRPC09K1 or my Orient blue Mako first gen, both are awesome daily watches for the price, again a very nice video, Cheers!.

Normal dive watch specs...with Nato Strap it sits higher and the keepers on the strap extend away from the wrist. Sits a little taller and longer than a usual dive watch. I'm looking to put a two piece strap on mine. Restarted my lawn maintenance company after 24 years in public education. I dabble in manufacturing...I give it the ol college try!

Agreed. It was a double take for me when I saw the playing on the watch. Love it.
I like your photos of this watch.
Thank you. Outdoor photography is my forte...product photography is something I'm learning. Have a great week and thank you for watching.

Fitment? It sounds like you are a Machinist!

Looks like a Carhartt Watch.
Awesome
