Ive always used nato straps...but in preperation for my new sbp089. :). I feel like i should get the oyster strap from strap code...

Ive never bought from strapcode. What do u guys think about quality and also any issues?

Doss it reallylook as good as the pics make it out to br?

What do you guys think about the clasps etc.

Thanks guys

CNDguy · 28 March 2019, 11:09 PM

Had one on an skx that I once owned. Dude they are fantastic, do not hesitate. High quality in my opinion

CamSLC · 29 March 2019, 12:25 AM

I recently purchased one. Despite what seem to be very positive reviews, I though the quality was extremely poor.

Most specifically the clasps. I started with the diver extension which lacked any micro adjustability outside of leaving the "diver extension" in a loose position. It didn't feel secure and was just downright bulky, so I opted to exchange it for the standard clasp. Once the new one arrived it was even more disappointing. The steel was pitted throughout and the flip lock would not stay fully closed. Just kinda hung there slack jawed. It looked sloppy and felt sloppy. The bracelet is also not as tapered as the other I have so it made an already large watch feel larger. I went back to an older bracelet I purchased from Amazon a few years ago, which thanks to strapcode I realized was quite well made.

My one

, The solid end links look great, fit the case well enough. If I could used those on a higher quality bracelet/clasp that would be sufficient for me.

The return process was arduous, as they seem to have another vendor supplying customer service. Which lacked in communication and could never seem to supply the correct tracking number. I requested an update multiple times over the 2 months dealing with them and always received an inaccurate tracking number, which is just annoying. Finally when I requested to return the faulty final product they wanted me to return it to Hong Kong (customer pay) instead of the Ohio distribution center it came from. I have still not received any refund.

If you do try them, I would avoid buying through them and use Amazon prime simply to reduce headaches.

Thanks guys... so bad clasp, but good end links which is a major positive for me. From looking at bracelet pics ...i would assume the 304L steel is light (some would say feels flimsy) but i assume has a pseudo vintage 5 digit rolex feel?

BNABOD · 29 March 2019, 02:45 AM

I wear mine one the sla019 and flimsy i think not . The clasp is loooong and bulky and heav but fairly well machined . I wasn’t expecting much for the price but I wear it constantly so in my book it was a decent purchase . Nothing spectacular but decent .

shaunylw · 29 March 2019, 02:59 AM

I have one with a clasp I don't care for, very big, and one with a smaller clasp. I think the quality for the price is very impressive. Yes, it looks as good as they make it out to look. I have one on my skx and its almost perfect. It wears very well.

toxicavenger · 29 March 2019, 03:35 AM

They are hit or miss on service. Sometimes there products are great, other times they suck. I only buy from Uncle Seiko now because of that.

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

Fat_ninja · 29 March 2019, 03:43 AM

Thanks guys... i pulled the trigger. Watch comes monday... strap probably comes in a few weeks.

oldman2005 · 29 March 2019, 03:48 AM

I have Strapcode super jubilee with Mariner Master 300 adjustable clasp and love the combination. Very nice bracelet for the little $.

scarlet knight · 29 March 2019, 05:13 AM

Have a couple. Gold and two tone. Like them.

SunTzu · 29 March 2019, 05:31 AM

You can check out MiLTAT too. They have a store on Amazon. They sell Seiko replacement bracelets. I have the Angus jubilee straight end link for my SARB017 and love it. Super beefy and solid. I posted it in another thread here: https://www.rolexforums.com/showthread.php?t=664847

Nice to see love for Seikos. Just picked up a green SLA019 NIB arriving next week. Curious to understand the craftsmanship as well!

You bet! I have a hulk on the kitchen counter if you want to compare the width of bracelets. This one is larger but damn comfortable for what it is.

So i placed order yesterday...its suppose to be here on the 4/1. Little surprised its that fast from asia or outside of country. Even have fedex tracking....most of the times ive ordered stuff outside of country...it was anyones guess between 2 and 3 weeks for it to show up.

I will be impressed if it ahows up on time.

rolexinfl · 30 March 2019, 12:37 AM

Are these miltat/strapcode better than the stock seiko metal bracelet? My seiko OEM is very cheap feeling...

Does it compare at all to the rolex oyster?
