I purchased mine from
http://cgi.ebay.com/Seiko-ALBA-Riki-...3A1%7C294%3A50, and the strap's color looks pretty close to the one here:
The color is very slightly paler/lighter/less orange, but it's a close enough approximation.
I'm happy with the watch, aside from the fact that it fits slightly... err lopsided? The strap is kinda stiff so the back of the watch doesn't rest entirely flat on my wrist (there's a small gap at parts between the back of the watch and my wrist), and this also causes the watch to move a little to the sides of my wrist rather than stay perfectly centered. This is my only watch, so I don't know if these things happen to other watches as well.
That description probably made the issues sound worse than they actually are... they're not really a huge deal. The watch is beautiful and well priced, so if you like the look, I suggest pulling the trigger!
