Seiko Presage SRPD97 “Japanese Garden“ Review & Strap Alternatives

Good to be back! A lot has happened the past year and my activity YouTube has been a bit low. Finally I’m able to share my thoughts about this Seiko Presage Japanese Garden SRPD97! This watch is one of the few sub 40 mm Seiko Presage watches, for less than 500 $ or €. With the Seiko Sarb035 and Sarb033 modes becoming more difficult to source, the SPRD97 and SRPD99 (black dial) are a great alternative, if not the best one, in the same price category. I’ve paired up with a few affordable watchband brands, if you want to get a strap and help me out in the process!
