Seiko - get with the programme!

[xellos99]

i have now discovered that seiko cant really do good bracelets in general.

i bought a grand seiko and the bracelet, clasp and fixings are not in the same league as the tudor black bay 41 i had before it ( except for finishing quality of )

something on the clasp even digs into my wrist uncomfortably and there are no micro adjustments.

i have many watches with better braelets that cost ten times less, there just not polished / finished as well

They'll have applied a tiny bit of heat to the bracelet to enable easier pin removal. Personally I'd do it myself, even on the brands you've mentioned.

I have two watches due from an AD in the next 1-2 months and this has me wondering whether to get them to size it or to do it myself... would be devastated if something like this happened! I always do my own watch sizing, strap changes etc for more affordable watches without issue, but for expensive stuff I'm more nervous. When the Rolex AD was sizing a bracelet for me before they had to heat it up to release it or something like that... not sure if that'd be the same for Tudor and Zenith
