As far as the strap goes, that's the same strap on my M201S, I am okay with it, it looks so so, but at least it holds together. I tighten it quite a bit for wrist support and the holes aren't stretching out (unlike the Seiko). The black Seagull strap is definitely shittier looking than the brown one, the leather is too shiny and feels like a shitty plastic Swatch band. The brown one I got with the M182SK was a little bit softer and has a fairly pleasant color.
I'm going to hope that their tourbillon watches have a better band...

I was looking at Seagull ST25xx movements recently particularly the moonphase and small seconds with big date, and the 9h small seconds with power reserve and standard date. Layouts are nice, and could do some nice dials, but the movements are super, super fat. A 12mm thick case with thinnest materials and tightest clearances.... To balance it visually it would need to be 42mm+ and that's big for a dress watch.
