Does it compare at all to the rolex oyster?
Which Seiko bracelet?

These bracelets feel nothing like a stock seiko bracelet. They are not quite as quality as a Rolex oyster bracelet but they are as close as i have seen given the price.

Which stock Seiko bracelet? They are not all the same. For instance the stock SBDC063 and SBBN015 have really good oyster bracelet's.

An older Rolex oyster is not exactly what I would call a benchmark. But the newer ones are nicer.

I have one, For the price they are ok, but I have to say I was a bit disappointed. Due to all the great reviews I read before ordering I was expecting more. Still well worth it

Another point, if you do not have a large wrist the adjustable clasp is really long. It will take up so much real estate you only are using a few bracelet links to wear your watch. That is a no-go for me.

Good luck
Another vote for Uncle Seiko here too ... and Toxic Natos of course

The oyster they make is great. Links are all good quality and the SEL’s where the bracelet mates with the case are also excellent. Mine has a divers extension clasp like the glidelock. That’s the only complaint. Whilst it’s well made and functions fine, it’s quite a large clasp and has sharp corners. I’ve seen somewhere someone files the corners down which no doubt improved the comfort, but a thinner clasp would be better. Otherwise, no complaints.

Love mine. I love the pin design too! The screws stick to the pin when you pull it out. Got mine on amazon for $70. Heck of a bracelet at that price!

I believe Strapcode and Militat are the same. I saw the Militat on Amazon and then looked closely at the pic on the Strapcode site and saw the bracelet on the Strapcode site had Militat printed in small letters. It's a great bracelet, much better that the Seiko bracelet that comes on the Sarb 033/35. It did, however, come very large - it was way too big for my 7.5" wrist, so be prepared to remove a few links which is not difficult. Looks great on my Alpine.

I love my oyster on the 007. I feel the quality is great for the price, especially compared to the stock jubilee. You need to remember that many on here are comparing it to the oyster on a Rolex, which it isn't and never will be. Just like you can't expect a V6 Accord to be a S-Class.

I don't know if you are talking about the hollow endlinks oysters on the older Rolex's there were nothing to write home about.
