Review on ⌚ Curved Men's Watches with RECHERE Stainless Steel Bracelet by Steven Chiumento

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Hard fit for a fat watch

This watch strap almost worked a miracle as the watch I wore, the Seiko SUN053 Prospex GMT, is 14mm thick and spaced 24mm ( !) between the lugs and the device made my watchmaker tremble. The black leather strap that came with the watch looked too basic. This strap, one of the few 24mm straps I could find, looks like it came with the watch. It took my watchmaker a lot of work to get it right, but after some polishing he achieved a near perfect result. I only gave it four stars because the curves of the end links don't quite match the curves of the watches (very few I've bought over the years ever have) and the gold tinting bleeds a little in places. All in all, that makes this watch really popular, but now it weighs 160 grams, over five and a half ounces! . It's not everyday wear, maybe 5 or 6 times a month and I had to swap out the included spring bars for thicker ones as one broke almost immediately, but other than that it's been great so far. It's not MilTat, it's only $15. Amazing offer.

Pros
  • Worth the money
Cons
  • I vaguely remember
