If you’re handy, a 20mm straight end will file down very easily, a lot more choice out there than 19mm.
I've been wearing my old Seiko 6138-3003 (I think, arabic/english days - I've always thought of it as a 3002, though, as it was sold as such) over the last couple of days and thought it might be nice to have it on a bracelet for a change.
The one it came with, the original, was utter junk, even before it became worn out junk, so I wondered if anyone had any recommendations for a 19mm straight ended bracelet at an affordable price?
I don't fancy it on a mesh, but am open to suggestions on any other kind of bracelet - I've seen a few styles I quite like on eBay, but they look as cheap and nasty as the original Seiko one.
Any thoughts?
Thanks

What about an ‘expandro’ type expandable bracelet? Lots of these have sprung lugs so they will fit 18-22mm lugs.
The bracelet is very retro in style and very comfortable.
You can different finishes to suit the watch head. My wear my Airman on a similar.

Tough one. Problem is that finding a new bracelet that will fit a vintage watch is hard to match. Personally, a nice two stich suede (you can go custom here) is a perfect choice for a vintage Seiko. If you wanna go for a bracelet, why not mesh?Or getting vintage bracelet from somw different seiko model...

Not a fan of suede for watch straps at all and I really want a metal bracelet, I'm more than happy with the Di-Modell Rallye as a strap option.
I like mesh bracelets, but I don't see it suiting this watch (I've tried a few against the watch - I don't have any 19mm ones - and they just look wrong to me).
I found another Seiko bracelet in my strap box I quite liked, but it was brushed and looked wrong against the polished case, so the hunt goes on...
