Incoming - of Sorts

Found an unused OEM Seiko bracelet on eBay for my Save the Ocean turtle for very little money



Gratuitous pic (with my favourite pen) when it arrived at work



Put it on last night and have to say am pleased with the results and its a nice change from the strap it came with.

Simple swap out with the lug holes. Not such a simple sizing however with those bloody pins and collars that Seiko insist on using (well, until I remembered the quick hack from last time I did one )

You just reminded me of a nightmarish experience I had with one of my Seikos.

Looks good!

Looks great. I change the bracelets and straps around with my watches quite a bit. My AD adjusts the bracelets for me as the collar and pin system is difficult for me.

My STO is still used on its rubber strap but if I were to seek a bracelet I think the Strapcode Jubilee would look great. Plus one on the “fiddily” aspect of the Seiko pins and collars.
