Wonderful job! Really love the lume shot and that razor wire. Really beefs and jazzes up the watch.

Thanks guys. Mixed feelings about the Uncle Seiko bracelet, especially when coming from using StrapCode which is much better when it comes to quality. I would give the Uncle Seiko an A+ for looks and feel, C- for build quality. If you look at the picture carefully you will see that the outer link sizes are not consistent, especially the ones on the right, plus it uses hollow end links.

Also, not happy at all with the quality of the lumed bezel which I got from Long Island Watches, you can see the number 10 not lumed properly and the quality overall is very bad. Will order another one from LCBI.

The thing with Uncle Seiko and Long Island Watch is their excellent customer service.

Show Mark at LIW a picture of the insert and poor lume and he’ll send you a new one.

Larry at US can replace your bracelet if you point out defects. I’ve replaced a bracelet no questions asked. I have a President style with solid end links from him for my SKX and it’s stellar.

Give them another shot and you won’t have to spend more money and they can rectify the issues. I’m sure they would be eager to hear about this.

Thank bud!! This watch wears quite well on a 20mm nato, that’s been my preferred set up. I like the changes made in this iteration of the watch as well, updated bezel font, dial, and hands, and 6R35... it’s a winner. Runs like a champ. Very cool case design.

Did you know that you can charge that watch on an electric toothbrush charger? Not kidding. I learned it on this forum.
