    What jubilee/president bracelet for SKX007?

    I have an SKX on a Super Oyster but it doesn't taper and is quite bulky and uncomfortable to wear. What would you recommend for a jubilee or president style bracelet with a taper please?

    Thank you!

    The stock jubilee is the most horrible, cheap, piece of crap off the wrist. However on the wrist it is the most comfortable strap I've ever worn.

    I've had the uncle seiko z199 and it is lovely. However I found it tapered too much and wasn't as supportive of the big head of the skx.

    I must admit, I love the look and feel of the stock Jubilee also.

    Strapcode jubilee is decent, got one on a Turtle, probably do one for the SKX.


    The arrest will shock the world.

    I have my SKX009 on a Strapcode Jubilee, wouldn't have it any other way.

    This. Looks cheap, sounds cheap, wears really well.

    Have a look at the Strapcode website. I have my 009 on their tapering super oyster. It's very good quality, screwed links and the end links are a perfect match. They do different types, different tapers and clasps. If I wore the watch more, I would probably get a jubilee for it.
    Just had a quick look, they certainly have gone up in price a bit from when I bought mine.

    I originally bought my SKX009 on rubber but quickly bought a Strapcode Jubilee for it.

    Fast forward a couple of years and I bought a stock Jubilee which I vastly prefer. I must get round to flogging the Strapcode.

    The original bracelet for me. Very comfortable and good looking. Also has minor taper. Never failed in the years I've had it.

    Have you considered a beads of rice? Watchgecko has a 22mm version which tapers to 20mm, and end link can be purchased separately (unless you like straight links).

    https://www.watchgecko.com/classic-b...um-watch-strap



    I haven’t yet bought the 22mm though have a 19mm on another watch. It’s good quality, comfortable and easy to adjust

    As soon as I got my SKX011 I put it in a MiLTAT bracelet from Amazon, very happy with the quality and feel of it.

    YCymro that's interesting. Looks a nice bracelet. I have a couple of 19mm watches, so will give it a look in that size.

    Agreed. It fits with the character of the watch, where aftermarket stuff with more heft feels out of place. It’s also extremely comfortable.
