Yobokies?

I’m looking for a bracelet for my SRP777 Turtle. I’ve had issues with my Uncle Seiko model so am returning it. I think Strapcode bracelets are excellent but I’m wondering whether anyone has had any success with any cheaper alternatives?
Thanks.

What issues have you had on the Uncle Seiko David? I too had to send one back with sharp end links on the underneath when fitted. So sharp there was a potential to cut yourself on them. They had been machined too thin I guess. To add I don’t think this is a general problem, just my bad luck.
To be fair Uncle Seiko customer service was great and offered a full refund or exchange.
As to an alternative, I can only suggest a used Strapcode off SC eventually. New Strapcode prices have gone through the roof.

How about Watchgecko.
I think this a case of you get what you pay for. I bought a new Strapcode Oyster for my Seiko Alpinist and the quality is superb. The end pieces are solid and are a superb fit against the Watch case.
There are people selling bracelets on e-bay from £20.00, but do you know what you are getting.
I ordered my Strapcode from Amazon. Postage was £20, but there were no other costs when it arrived in the UK. I think it came from Hong Kong.
The same issue as you describe Liam but I could live with that. It was also marked when it arrived. In the past I’d have returned it but life’s too short. Also it wouldn’t fit with the supplied fat bars. Their website says that’s the fault of Seiko not drilling the lugs consistently in the same place but I don’t buy that, I think the end links aren’t constructed correctly.
Now I was living with all of that however last night the rivet came out of the clasp. It’s only been worn for around five days!
I can’t fault the service provided by Martin though.
They don't, but I think with the short lugs and straight edge between the lugs you can get away with it. I've been wearing this combo for the past few weeks and I think it looks pretty good.
I have three watchgecko bracelets, all on Seiko divers, I'm happy with them.
Bought a ceramic bezel insert from him week before last. He posted on the day I transferred the money and it arrived 5 days later.

Do Monster watches do something that would fit?
I just order another bracelet from Strapcode less than an hour of Amazon and got free postage
They do cost more than others but I do think there the best plus on Amazon you get free returns
Here you go even cheaper

That looks good OP. I prefer those end links to the snaggle tooth ones for Strapcode.
I ordered a bracelet for my BB58 from them on Amazon. It looked like there was only one in stock because it became "currently unavailable" after my purchase.
Thanks and me too, I really don't like those beaver-teeth Strapcode end links.
The more I wear this the more I love it. It's different to any jubilee I've had before in that it's links are flatter and matt and the bracelet tapers down to 16mm. I think it's stunning and supremely comfortable.
