Who is Uncle Seiko? Keeping Vintage Dive Watch Straps Alive... An Interview

Рет қаралды 19,772

6 жыл бұрын

In this weeks upload I get a chance to interview Uncle Seiko. For viewers who are not familiar, Uncle seiko recreates vintage watch straps for dive watches, inspired by the original Seiko ones. These original straps are not very hard to come by or in poor condition so having these recreated with modern materials is a great service to horology and seiko history. www.uncleseiko.com
During the interview, we discuss a number of charities that Uncle Seiko supports. These are below if you are looking to help out.

This has convinced me so i have put in an order with Uncle Seiko for a Tropic strap for my 51 year old original 6217 - 8001. I bought the watch back in 1967 when I was with the Australian Army in Malaysia. I stopped wearing it after about 10 years when I 'upgraded' to something with all the bells and whistles and just put the 6217 in a storage crate and forgot all about it. Found it again about 6 months ago. Just put it on my wrist, gave it a bit of a shake and off it went and still performs as good as new and looks very smik.

I got the v2 waffle strap and to be honest, when I first took it out of the bag I said "Hmm, this is too hard." Like many of us, I'm conditioned to softer straps. Silicone, seatbelt nylon, softer rubbers, etc. But after only 5 hours of wearing it, I started to love it. It's the right combination of stiff and supple. You can tell it'll last for years and years. I love the thickness toward the ends of the strap and that it's made for the thicker springbars. It's MADE for Seiko...that's something that all these other microbrands with vanilla-scented straps can't say. And it DOESN'T pick up lint. So I'm an Uncle Seiko convert.

Also, I'm somehow glad that UncleSeiko is not an advertised company, nor one that plasters donation messages all over their websites. Just a good person doing their thing, and doing right by their customers and community.

But I'm always looking for something different. And, that's how I landed on your channel today. I was looking at some Uncle Seiko rubber straps and the next thing I know I watching you interviewing the man behind the brand. So glad I stumbled upon this interview! I'm sure that it will go a long way toward influencing my next strap purchase. Larry seems like someone I would like to have as a friend. A man who stands behind his products and uses a portion of his profits to help those in need of help. So, cheers my friend.
