Review on 🌟 Stylish and Refined: Brushed Oyster Stainless Bracelet Seiko – The Perfect Accessory by Nate Jenkins

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Nice band for the price, though.

Overall I think this is a good bracelet. I got it for a modified SKX173 (I had replaced and upgraded the movement and fitted the sapphire crystal). I don't know if there are subtle differences in the case between the sks 007 and my watch (I thought there weren't any) or if the end links (which attach to the watch) were just not machined properly, but I couldn't get the pins fully install until I sawed off some of the metal around the edges. I was going to take a star off for this but that wouldn't be fair as I haven't seen anywhere that this strip was for the SKX173 (which may specifically exist but I couldn't find it). After the file job was done, which didn't affect the bracelet's appearance in any way, the pins settled out nicely. They are fleshy and of good quality. The screw pins that connect the links are a bit flimsy (compared to my Steinhart Ocean 1 pins for example) but are easy to adjust and seem to do the job. Overall I would call this strap a definite upgrade over the rubber strap (which I never use as I use NATO straps). I appreciate $60 and 10 minutes of file work.
