OEM is a Seamless like the one here - 1972 Fuji "Newest" 1B Custom - Vintage Fuji Archive If I don't run into one of those I'm leaning towards the the Avocet that's on it or this Belt

I like the Fujita Belt saddle, but a 72 Finest would have had a leather covered plastic base saddle (suede, I think). I don't think the Avocet would be a bad choice either.
