There are some real beauties posted here!
I've got a soft spot for Seikos. I've gifted 2 of these to my son (plus 2 others not in photo).

Can someone comment on their favorite Isofrane clone? I am deciding between the Borealis and the Obris Morgan. Ive heard the Borealis is softer and more supple, and they allege it has been formulated without silicon (preventing lint attraction). However, some commenters say the Obris Morgan is closer to the original, but is too long for most wrists. I have 7.25-7.5'' wrists and I prefer the end of the strap to rest at the bottom of my wrist; IMO its a cluttered look when the keepers and tail are on the side next to the watch head. Does anyone have any experience with either / both?

I like the clean look of that Fluco for sure... compliments the lines of the watch IMO. Everytime I see photos of the SARB/SARX series I am very tempted. Nice watch!

I'm leaning towards the lizard.

Of those three, the lizard looks most at home.

Prefer the plain one but I like simplicity.

I think the padded straps look better for a more luxury look. I'd probably choose Shell if it was padded, flat looks to casual. So of those pictured, I'd go with Lizard.

Agreed.

Also, have you thought of croc? Doesn't always have to cost an arm-and-leg.

Really enjoy this Seiko
