Anyone tried the Uncle Seiko President bracelet on the Tudor GMT?

Uncle Seiko has some photo's of it on a Black Bay with the blue bezel.
I'm not sure if it flies in the face of convention or not, but I think it looks really nice!

I like that president bracelet they are selling too. Thanks for the tip. I may pick up one of these or the jubilee. Not sure which one yet.

Not to totally derail this thread but curious why you feel that all Tudor bracelets are "aesthetically garbage?"

Very happy with mine. Looks good and built like a tank. Wears very comfortably for me as well. Are you talking about the rivets specifically? If so I find that they virtually disappear on the wrist. I also think they don't look half bad. The look of the rivets in close-up photos is way different than the wearing experience IMO.

^^^nice!

I have the Uncle Seiko President and Jubilee for my BB58. I put the President on first and can’t take it off (bc I don’t want to, it’s amazing).

Plan to order the US Jubilee for my GMT soon! Just waiting for the 1/2 links to become available so I can put them in the same order.

I have the President and Jubilee for my BB58. For what it's worth...

The bracelets leave a lot to be desired in terms of feel IMO. They don't feel very robust compared to the original Tudor bracelet. But that's to be expected given the price. They kinda feel "tinny," like my 93510. The clasps on my Uncle Seiko bracelets are also disappointing, but not to the point that I worry about them failing. Although the clasp for the 41mm bracelets are different.

Aesthetically speaking, I am very happy with both.

Nothing fake about it. You don't like it? That's fine. It's still a good knock around bracelet option for those who do.

I like it. I’ve always light straight bars in some watches, and on the GMT it looks the part. Nice choice.

A quick update on the Uncle Seiko Jubilee.

While I really like how it looks and feels on the wrist, I suspect that living with the clasp on a daily basis will have me putting the original bracelet back on. I had no issue with the original at all anyway. I think it also looks and feels great with the GMT

I’ve been wearing my BB58 with Uncle Seiko President bracelet for a week or two now. The clasp is the weakest point for sure. But it’s given my no issues.

For what it’s worth, the GMT bracelets from Uncle Seiko have a different clasp than on my BB58.

Have you tried one on? I had the same concerns about the rivets until I actually wore the bracelet. I bought mine on leather and then added the OEM bracelet after. I'm telling you the photos you see in the internet greatly exaggerate the appearance and size of the rivets. On the wrist you either don't see them at all or barely notice them. The bracelet itself is really comfortable (for me) and robust. I've been really happy with it.

I'm ordering one this week. I have a service non-rivet bracelet from Italy, 2 factory nato's, a Milanese, and factory leather strap and deployment clasp. I absolutely love mine and can't wait to try it on a Jubilee.

It is the perfect tool/travel watch to me.
