Review on πŸ”₯ Enhance Your SKX007 and SKX009 with MiLTAT Compatible Super J Straps by Chris Jens

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Best SS strap available

I bought this to replace my SKX007 which is 23 years old and still in great condition but the standard strap is terribly sounding and light. I modify my watch, new movement (NH36), crown, bezel and insert, glass, hands and dial - everything except the case, and do it with the intention of keeping everything in perfect condition. I would like one day to sell this watch for more than what I paid for, whether it is in a modified condition or everything restored to its original stock condition, still like new. For modding details I wanted the best there is and straps that look like Super-J or Angus-J. I wasn't sure if the Angus-J was really worth the extra $40 or if the Super-J was the highest quality bracelet. Having worn the watch with both, I now have to say that the Super-J, 38% cheaper than the Angus-J, is definitely the best strap if you like the original but want a better version of it. While the Angus J bracelet looks similar, it is a completely different bracelet. It is much heavier and bulkier than a jubilee style bracelet or any other bracelet. This band is solidly made but not so heavy that it's ridiculous, it's solid and sturdy without being overly heavy. The polished center links are very well polished, although the brushed outer links aren't as heavily polished as the original, or maybe my original is just old, hard to tell when you actually look at it. The clasp is clear and holds well, no risk of it opening suddenly. It feels very well made. I prefer the Seiko branding on the original but this one is still attractive enough. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a very high quality stainless steel bracelet for any watch, but it definitely looks like it was made for the SKX007/009.
