Here's an idea, why don't Strapcode make separate solid endlinks for a lot of the most popular watches out there? Owners of their bracelets could then just change endlinks and be able to swap it between more of their watch collection. You could of course argue that would detract from sales of customers buying multiple bracelets, but I don't think people do that anyway and the profit margin of charging say, £20 - £25 for a pair of tiny endlinks has to be greater than charging £100 for an entire bracelet. To me, it's a complete no-brainer. BTW. if Strapcode end up doing this, I want a share of the profits!
They are short sighted. I do not own a strapcode. But it would have encouraged me to get a strapcode if I knew they'd sell me an endlink. £80 on one bracelet is just too much, especially as I have a lot of watches that I swap straps with. If they're not going to play ball them I'm not buying their stuff.
@@Professional_TH-cam_Commenter Lol, let us know what brand you find that sells a quality oyster style bracelet that also sells just solid end links for various watch models. It appears you will be playing ball by yourself.
Uncanny. I can't recall how many times in the past year when I've asked myself "I wonder if I can do x to my watch" and not only did you have a video on the topic, but a video using MY WATCH! Thanks, man, you've just saved me from making a $100 blunder.
Just bought a JDM Seiko Chronograph. Replaced factory bracelet with straight endlink president bracelet. I think the space between the endlink and the case makes it look vintage and exotic.
Please make a video or two about how to take care of watches in general and mechanical ones specifically. Also it would be so nice if you start telling us about the history of the biggest watch brands today, including the individual watch makers, and some of the most famous watch models of each company over the years. And thanks for this great series.
I learned this the hard way. I thought by just getting the radius and the width correct I could fit a bracelet with curved endlinks designed for a Submariner into my diver watch. The pin hole was 1mm off, it was designed for the 116610 which has very curved down lugs.
You didn't mention the option of rubber straps, Mark, which are certainly a very viable and attractive option - particularly for the dive watches you highlighted in this video.
Hey mark...great video. I wonderd about the same thing. However, i took my strapcode super oyster from my skx009, and was actually able to fairly easily put it on another watch. Only one though. The watch was a cheaper chronograph quartz piece by nautica. And wow did it actually look great, and feel substantial! Lol. But mostly it sits correctly at home on my 009. But trial and error you may have luck with something. Was a little tight on the nautica, but works good. But i love the infi you provide on these videos.
I bought the CORRECT Strapcode bracelent for my SKX and had to use a small hand grinder to fit one of the radius's. It took over an hour and two bits. I really didn't have the right tools. It should not have needed this, on the other hand it worked, and I love the Strapcode bracelet on my SKX.
I had the same issue on my SKX007. I was able to attach one end link but the other just wouldn't seat properly to install the spring bar. I believe the hole in the end link was drilled at an angle for the spring bar. I sent it back to Amazon and ordered a straight (universal) version.
Hey Marc, thank you very much for the video. Even though it is obvious that a specifically designed endlink can only fit other watches accidentially people now have an understanding as of why this is the case. There is another thing about a strapcode bracelet which came across when I was looking for a new strap for an SKX007. I was interested in the Angus Jubilee with curved endlinks for the SKX007. Ultimately I decided for the straight endlink version (which then unfotunately had to be the Super Jubilee instead ). The reason being that all I saw of that combination was basically a not-fit, even though the endlinks are marketed specifically for the SKX007. Even the pictures on the strapcode homepage show a non-perfect match. I would be interested in how the bracelet actually fits if a pro like yourself does install and review that. Could you imagine a video about that combination would make it onto your shortlist? Best regards and keep up the good work
Long Island Watch - Well Google would update their terms of service agreement to include that the customer is always right, unless they chose to waive that right, by agreeing to our terms of service. Then you could say that customer has knowingly attempted to commit fraud and that you could file charges against them, if they continued to do so.
@@telefunkenyou47 What you "can" do and what makes sense from an ongoing business practice perspective are frequently not the same thing. At some point, many business owners are more forgiving in accepting returns than the law (or their published policies) requires in order to acquire customer goodwill, repeat business and referrals.
thanks, what seems obvious is perhaps not. anyway, i have never been a fan of specialized end links. i ALWAYS use the straight end links that leave a breathing gap. i simply prefer the look, and can clean in there if i want to. love the strapcode ratcheting clasp, but its lack of fine adjustment, other than the ratchet, is a little problematic for me...
Good informative video. Now here's a twist: Why not use the original end links of the other watches ( SNZH55, Orient Ray, etc.) and attach to the Strapcode bracelet?
They might not have the same center link width or even be oyster style, the finishing might be different(i.e. polished brushed), and the hinge pin might not line up.
My good sir: I love your how-to videos; they are incredibly helpful. One bit of constructive criticism specific to the how-to videos like the above...these videos really could be about 1/3rd as long. Bear in mind that for someone looking for instruction, there are unfortunately hundreds of similar videos; and unfortunately the vast majority of them are useless. The result is, a viewer needs to often times glance at dozens of videos on a topic before finding one that is a) accurate and b) concise. And this is very much hampered when trying to scan through a 17-minute video that could just as easily be a 5 minute video. While I appreciate the detail and nuance of a longer video...it is sometimes a bit trying attempting to get to the "meat"...such as the title of this video...how to change the watch strap. Perhaps a helpful middleground might be the creation of two versions of a video? One being full length, and another being an abridged version that contains quick and fast 1-2-3-4 steps? Genuinely mean this as a constructive comment from a fan, and do not mean to imply criticism.
Ike, I enjoy this kind of videos, its as if you are having a conversation to your local watch guy, not as much the length of your comment w/c should be just 1/3. I think you are asking alot.
Hi Mark, I have purchased a Seiko Prospex Blue lagoon SRPB11J1 22mm, can you please advise if I can purchase a strapcode strap, to fit this watch, I am looking for solid end links, but if this is a problem, can you advise on one that would fit. Could I possibly find a strap within the curve propex range maybe.I would be extremely grateful if you could advise me on this situation. Yours Sincerely Ronald Griffiths
Marc, you've got a customer for life in me due to your excellent customer service. I can get a Seiko anywhere but all of my new Seikos will come from you. Really sad to hear that people are trying to take advantage of your awesome business practices.
Hi Marc, have you ever noticed that with some of the New Turtles the holes for the spring bars are not properly drilled? I bought an SRP789 some weeks ago, which was on an ugly rubber strap. Then i bought an Original Seiko Oyster bracelet, that the watch comes usually with from the factory. I used Fat Bars, but the end links of the bracelet rotate all the time, and sometimes stay stuck in an offset position, so that i can not wear the watch. First i thought that there was something wrong with the end links of the bracelet, but a member of the German Uhrforum told me, that it is not unheard of that the drilling of the lugs with the Turtles sometimes differs, and then the endlinks do not fit. Did you ever run into that kind of a problem, or heard of it? Thanks by the way for the bracelet resizing video with the pin and collar system. I followed your instructions and everything worked out just perfect.
Help. I have a Tissot Seastar 660 circa 2007. Love the watch hate the strap. It has unique lugs and 19 mm: Thoughts on replacement bracelet? I think the gap even with a nato would look out of place.
Hey Marc! You have a really great channel. Helps a lot of people understand about wrist watches before getting one. I just have one request , though, would you feature the Seiko Urchin (ref. SNZF17) getting a nice Strapcode which tapers to 18mm to the clasp? And if ever you have it in your shop, do you ship to the Philippines? Thanks, Marc!
Hi Mark, thanks for your great videos, I recently resized my seiko skx007 jubilee bracelet. I just wanna know how many links should be on each side. 7 on upper side and 9 on down side or reverse?
I was lucky. I had a Strapcode Super Oyster for SKX installed on a Casio MVD-109. Is it perfect? Good gosh, no. OTOH, the errors are symmetrical and not visually displeasing, so yep. I got lucky.
I bought a hexad oyster from strapcode last year and finally decided to put it on my 007 a few days ago. One of the end links isn't fitting properly and will not allow one end of the spring bar to align properly with the hole. Their customer service is terrible as well as how long it takes for them to ship, and I fear it's much too late to contact them about it. I suppose I should have quality checked the thing when I got it but for a bracelet that cost 120.00 I expected more. This is highly disappointing and extremely frustrating. I spent two hours trying to get the thing to fit. A machinist friend of mine who is also into watches looked at it and said the endlink seemed to be off measurement therefore not allowing it to seat flush. SMH.
hi marc, thank you again for this informative video. really love this segment on your channel. may i asked you about that android watch, is it came from the aragon watch company? or is it the android smartwatch?
Can you do a review of your mesh bracelets? I am looking for a mesh bracelet for my Stowa Marine Original. Also, sorry, but I had to LOL at the customer return of the watch with the cracked crystal, who does that?
Not sure if you want to destroy that end link but seems like if you filed that bottom lip away it'd have a much better chance of fitting those other watches. Not sure if you would or wouldn't want to encourage that.
Marc, Do you carry a quality bracelet with curved endlinks that works with the Glycine Airman DC-4? Apparently the Hadley Roma MB4426W does fit but people claim its not as high quality as the MILTAT super oysters. Also I have heard people use the oyster bracelet for Seikos and pinching and forcing the ends mating against the lugs. Any thoughts you have is appreciated.
How do they make the lug holes on the inside of the lugs of a watch? It's so tight, I think nothing short of a dentist drill would work. I'm just asking because I recently got a bracelet from the same brand as the watch and they said it was supposed to match.. the fitted end link. But, it doesn't. It is like 1mm off and the lug holes on the lugs are closer to the inside of the watch. So, no matter how much I push the end link up against the side of the case, it cannot go any further, so it does not clear. Not going to get into fiasko of how it got resolved and what needs to be checked and perhaps redone on their end to make sure it fits as they said and was designed. But, they basically let me keep the bracelet and refunded me the money. Maybe later if and when they may have this worked out they may get me a fitted end link that works. So, my question about how does one make lug holes in the inside of a watch is because I was wondering how hard would it be to make a 2nd pair of lug holes that will work with the bracelet's end links that are not quite right right now? I can't seem to find any rotary tool that is small enough that can fit at a right angle and drill straight if I wanted to try and modify and add a 2nd set of lug holes onto the watch myself.. or, do you think this is something that a compentent watchmaker can do?
Are there end links for the Strapcode Super Oyster to fit the Invicta Pro Diver (#23678)? Its lug width is 20mm. Related question: are the MANY Pro DIvers with 20mm lugs all curved the same?
I had that trouble was trying to fit a Rolex band to one of my watches but the leg holes on one side of the case didn't line up so there was a slight gap
My issue was that my turtle has one a slightly mishapen side and the solid end link will not seat properly to get the spring bar to snap into place. Really sucked that I had to return two bracelets to discover it was the watch and not the bracelet.
Hey Mark! I just got a super jubilee bracelet for my padi turtle and had a really hard time with getting it on the watch.. I ended up taking it to my local jeweler and even he had a hard time with it, but eventually got the bracelet on. Have you had any problems with strapcode bracelets for the srp turtles?
Hi Mark, do you know of a person who can regulate my Powermatic80 Khaki king. It runs fast and can gain a minute a day. Because the movement is relatively new I don’t know someone who is qualified. Any help is appreciated.
Are their any aftermarket bracelets for the Samurai at all ? Would the ones that fit the skx and turtle fit it since they are all 22 mm ? I would like to purchase one of the Samurai's that only come on a rubber strap, and put a nice bracelet on it, bc I cant do the rubber strap thing. I think it kills the look of the watch. Anybody know anything about this ?
I've heard that SKX bracelets will fit the Casio duro - some online have said only the originals with Hollow end links will fit, however even strapcode have a product image of their SEL bandoleer bracelet on the duro: www.strapcode.com/products/metal-ss-bcl20-b102?_pos=21&_sid=974045a85&_ss=r
Here's an idea, why don't Strapcode make separate solid endlinks for a lot of the most popular watches out there? Owners of their bracelets could then just change endlinks and be able to swap it between more of their watch collection.

Cause that would decrease revenue :)
Dennis Kwok Exactly!! I've been wanting a solid end link for my two toned Invicta Pro Diver! Us watch enthusiasts will pay a premium for our hobby!
They are short sighted. I do not own a strapcode.

We did a video on the Alpinist and the 007.
Thank you Mark this was a very interesting actually I bought some bracelet and I wish I had seen this video before again thank you very much
LOL, great to hear it!
Can confirm this will fit a 7002-7009 Seiko.
Future video compare mesh bracelets and clasps. Thanks for the video.
Thanks, will consider it.
Great video thanks, I agree strapcode should make different end links to suit different makes of watches
The Strapcode Angus Jubilee fits the my SKX009 perfectly.
Like it was made for it!
Damn, thanks for answering a question I had just discovered.
Answered a lot of my questions! Thanks!
Great to hear it!
Wow and you took the watch back? I think I would do the same but I will be really pissed.
Yeah, whatcha gonna do.
What do you do with return watches? Would you replace the crystal and than sell them for cheaper or something like that?

so, since you've brought up the snzh5x case, what solid end link will fit it?

Where to buy solid endlinks alone for the SKX? No bracelet, just the endlink.
Good informative video. Now here's a twist: Why not use the original end links of the other watches ( SNZH55, Orient Ray, etc.) and attach to the Strapcode bracelet?
They might not have the same center link width or even be oyster style, the finishing might be different(i.e. polished brushed), and the hinge pin might not line up.

I will consider it, thank you. Yes, we do ship to PH.

Me too! LOL
I'm obsessed with your hair .

Thanks for doing the video, very helpful 👍
Thanks for checking it out.
Are all 007 straps compatible with 5KXs? And should i use bended links?

Good work!
Hi. are there any pictures ? Where u from? Im from Germany and want to fit that bracelet on a Casio MDV-106.

ur 2 watch thing is driving me nuts.. bit great vids lol
Will a grinded down skx jubilee endlink fit flush to a 6309 7040 turtle case??
Thanks for the informative video! I know why I prefer Zulu or NATO straps on my SKX007K1 :-D
LOL!
hi marc, thank you again for this informative video. really love this segment on your channel. may i asked you about that android watch, is it came from the aragon watch company? or is it the android smartwatch?
Wing Liang.
thank you sir for that information. :)
Strapcode Oyster has a lot of negative feedback on Amazon. A lot of mentions of it feeling cheap and bad clasp quality control.
This video needed to happen
Can you do a review of your mesh bracelets? I am looking for a mesh bracelet for my Stowa Marine Original. Also, sorry, but I had to LOL at the customer return of the watch with the cracked crystal, who does that?
I will in the future, thanks.
Not sure if you want to destroy that end link but seems like if you filed that bottom lip away it'd have a much better chance of fitting those other watches. Not sure if you would or wouldn't want to encourage that.
Wouldn't mesh well with the case though.
Marc, Do you carry a quality bracelet with curved endlinks that works with the Glycine Airman DC-4? Apparently the Hadley Roma MB4426W does fit but people claim its not as high quality as the MILTAT super oysters. Also I have heard people use the oyster bracelet for Seikos and pinching and forcing the ends mating against the lugs. Any thoughts you have is appreciated.
Sorry, not that I know of. I'm not familiar with Glycine.
I looking for a stainless steel Luminox. Do you sell those?. Please get back to me. Great video's. Thank you sir
Nope, sorry.
That screw design is newer from strapcode. I have 2 super jubilee bracelets I bought a few years back that are just solid screws
Any idea if strapcode makes a bracelet that will fit my Seiko SRP659 ?
Hi Marc, my Seiko sarb033 came with a metal bracelet. Could I use those end links to get a proper fit with a strapcode angus jubilee bracket? Thanks!
How do they make the lug holes on the inside of the lugs of a watch? It's so tight, I think nothing short of a dentist drill would work.
I'm just asking because I recently got a bracelet from the same brand as the watch and they said it was supposed to match.. the fitted end link. But, it doesn't. It is like 1mm off and the lug holes on the lugs are closer to the inside of the watch. So, no matter how much I push the end link up against the side of the case, it cannot go any further, so it does not clear.
Not going to get into fiasko of how it got resolved and what needs to be checked and perhaps redone on their end to make sure it fits as they said and was designed. But, they basically let me keep the bracelet and refunded me the money. Maybe later if and when they may have this worked out they may get me a fitted end link that works.
So, my question about how does one make lug holes in the inside of a watch is because I was wondering how hard would it be to make a 2nd pair of lug holes that will work with the bracelet's end links that are not quite right right now?
I can't seem to find any rotary tool that is small enough that can fit at a right angle and drill straight if I wanted to try and modify and add a 2nd set of lug holes onto the watch myself.. or, do you think this is something that a compentent watchmaker can do?
I would imagine they are cast that way in one situation. Or machined with a right angle drill in others.
Are there end links for the Strapcode Super Oyster to fit the Invicta Pro Diver (#23678)? Its lug width is 20mm. Related question: are the MANY Pro DIvers with 20mm lugs all curved the same?
Query Strapcode directly online; they are quite responsive.
Bracelet from 007 fit on a 031 skx?
No
Will any of the 20mm bracelets fit a Rolex Submariner ? I dont care about the hight. Just will the pins align up to the hole
Any 20 mm stainless bracelet with straight or generic curved end links will fit the Submariner.
Very good i like this kind of video - what about snzf17
What about it?
Just wondering if skx braclet fits on snzf17
Another step in my watch education. Probably why my watch gecko bracelet does not quite fit as snug on my Omega Planet Ocean
That's why!
Thanks great video
Thank you.
i hope you didnt reimburse the Orient Mako XL.
Hi Marc, I bought a Seiko SRPA21 PADI from you recently. Does Strapcode make a Super Jubilee bracelet that fits this watch, and do you carry it?

I had that trouble was trying to fit a Rolex band to one of my watches but the leg holes on one side of the case didn't line up so there was a slight gap
Common issue.
My issue was that my turtle has one a slightly mishapen side and the solid end link will not seat properly to get the spring bar to snap into place. Really sucked that I had to return two bracelets to discover it was the watch and not the bracelet.
That can sometimes be the issue.
Hey mark! What size flat head screwdriver do I need for strap code braclets? 1.5 ? 1.8?
It is 1.5mm :)
Hi Mark,
Is it possible to swap the curved skx end link with a straight end link from strap code?
Probably.
Will skx007 strap fit skx031?
What do u think of “Marina Military” watches?
Are they worth the $100-$150?
If you think it so, then it is.
If he doesn't carry them, he's probably not going to comment on them. Just sayin'...
So does strap code sell the end links separately so one can use the bracelet but change the end link to match the watch?
Not that I've seen.
Hey Mark! I just got a super jubilee bracelet for my padi turtle and had a really hard time with getting it on the watch.. I ended up taking it to my local jeweler and even he had a hard time with it, but eventually got the bracelet on. Have you had any problems with strapcode bracelets for the srp turtles?
My strapcode bracelet is for the Alpinist has very tight tolerances. It takes a lot of effort to align the spring bar.
They are very tight fits. And it needs to go perfect or it won't fly.
Can an Angus Jubillee by stapcode fit to a seiko sarb017 alpinist be modified with a straight end link to fit other 20mm lugs?
We do sell some strapcode straight endlink jubilees.
Best watch video for info and explanation.
does the skx endlink fit the turtle? The watches are extremely similar.
No.
Is there a metal strap for seiko011J1?
Live your visa they ate infomitiv and insightful
Thank you.
Hi Mark, do you know of a person who can regulate my Powermatic80 Khaki king.
It runs fast and can gain a minute a day.
Because the movement is relatively new I don’t know someone who is qualified.
Any help is appreciated.
Well maybe I should check the watch for being magnetized first.
It is heavily magnetized so hopefully that is the issue.
That's a good idea.
Long Island Watch after buying a cheap demagnetizer my watch is running better than it ever has.
Ha! Now we just need Strapcode to just sell end links for all the watches you carry. 😊. Thanks Marc!
Sounds like a plan!
Are their any aftermarket bracelets for the Samurai at all ? Would the ones that fit the skx and turtle fit it since they are all 22 mm ? I would like to purchase one of the Samurai's that only come on a rubber strap, and put a nice bracelet on it, bc I cant do the rubber strap thing. I think it kills the look of the watch. Anybody know anything about this ?
Check out Strapcode.
Will it fit on the Seiko Sarg007?
Doubt it.
Has anyone tested the angus jubilee braclet on a sbdc051 for a flush fit?
Anyone know where I can get an oyster bracelet for my SRP637?
Also, do u modify watches?
If I sent in my Skx009, would u be able to modify it according to my specs?
Sorry, we do not.

Dude...do you never shave?
No. I shave every few days.
I've heard that SKX bracelets will fit the Casio duro - some online have said only the originals with Hollow end links will fit, however even strapcode have a product image of their SEL bandoleer bracelet on the duro: www.strapcode.com/products/metal-ss-bcl20-b102?_pos=21&_sid=974045a85&_ss=r
How do I know what bracelet to get for a watch with a strap, I understand the lug to lug, but the watch is obviously round.
