Strapcode bracelets are like giant over engineered garage doors. Huge
Your voice is so much like a younger version of my grandfather's :) nostalgia. He's been gone for a long time
Bought the 'Super O' from you a couple of months ago. I was pleasantly surprised when the '3D' updated version arrived at my doorstep (it was only after I had placed the order that I found Strapcode had made this significant upgrade) Excellent service, many thanks!
Thank you!
So I had this clasp and the fit and finish is amazing but it was not comfortable for me. The edges were very sharp and with no mirco adjustments it couldn’t be sized without being to large or to small. If they added 2 micro adjusts to the extending end it would almost be perfect.
Thanks Nicholas. I can see what you are referring to. It is a very bulky clasp.
I had one of these on a Glycine and it was great ‘on the go’ adjustment 👍🏻
Great, thank you!
Assuming the quality is sustainable, that's a really nice feature. Especially for summer!
Thank you.
If I was still actively diving, I would definitely be getting this! Who knows, maybe if I get back in shape it will be possible. I think that was a great move for Long Island Watch. Keep up the great work!
Thank you.
I had been searching high and low for a good clasp w/ extension; this is close to perfect and worth every penny. For the sharp edges I just took a file to it and rounded off all edges where the strap mounts. I cut a rubber Bonetto Cinturini 300D to fit and it is worn with my Shark Diver 40 and Sinn 756. Honestly once you have a strap with a quick adjust it's hard to go back. My Shark Diver 38 Ti came stock with a similar adjustment which is a big reason that watch gets all my high activity use. I don't dive but these clasps expand to go over a base layer when doing snow sports. It IS very chunky which works fine w/ tool watches.
10 thumbs down 'I dislike this' what's to dislike? A great addition to an already great bracelet.
LOL
Late to the party but I've found a workaround to the micro adjustment issue. Simply remove enough links until the bracelet becomes ever-so-slightly too small for your wrist (assuming that the clasp is installed) and then use the extenders as micro adjustment, this way you get 1-2 micro adjustment positions for regular wear and 3-4 positions for use with a wetsuit. This clasp was originally designed by Citizen if I recall, and this method seems to have been their intention of how the clasp should be used. With this method the clasp has become my favorite and I now wear all my Strapcode bracelets with it, switching the clasp between them as necessary.
Still, the ideal ratcheting clasp design in my opinion would be Seiko's Marinemaster clasps because of how svelte they are compared to other solutions including the one on the Tudor Pelagos, which is very functional but also even bulkier than Strapcode's.
Great addition to your assortment, Marc! Strapcode like LIW smells and follows what customers need though I am myself a "desk diver". Lol. The price is reasonable (in comparison with the watch bracelet) because the clasp is made from zero default's numerous tooled pieces of steel which must be reliable when closing and opening thousands of times. Always open/close the same perfect way. Bracelets' links can be made by the tens of thousands in a standard production process. And since the Ratchet Extension Clasp is an accessory, it is produced in smaller quantities, therefore at a higher cost. But it is very fair.
Thanks so much; great feedback!
I have a Seiko Marinemaster ratcheting clasp on the strap code endmill on my SKX007J. Only because I wanted a clasp with Seko on it. Very happy with it 👍🏻
Once you get one of these you can’t go back. The Mido Ocean Star ships with them and it’s so convenient when the temperature makes your wrist expand and contract. Absolutely love it on the Mido, gunna get one for my Mako USA.
Another great vid, my son is loving his mako..swapping straps!
Awesome, enjoy!
Assuming the fit is there, I prefer the buckle/clasp to be as small as possible - but the ratchet clasp is a fine option for those who don't mind the bulk
Thanks for sharing.
Great addition to the store Marc.
Thanks.
Just received mine. Fantastic. Thanks Marc for your service.
Certina DS Action diver has the same practical clasp as Standard. I love it! Much more convenient to use than the Rolex overrated glidelock clasp.
Right on, thank you.
Have Certina DS Action with that clasp aswell (the powermatic 80 ) it’s top ! No need micro adjustments! Whish I live in US my new ISL -09 needs that clasp ! Mark
@@islandwatch hello Marck Franco I’ve looking in your web site for that clasp and can’t find it ! Can you please help me? By the way just received my ISL-09 from your company order itinerary 22 December 2020 (portugal is a bit far and customs are a pain in the a***) I’ve got on the original/standard oyster bracelet (need one more micro adjustment!) Any way love the finish of the watch but the only thing is the clasp ! Greetings from Portugal to all the Island Watch company!
5 star rating company!
Please send me a private msg Mark about this clasp!
Best regards, José Martins
With the extra clasp size you could get something engraved onto it, for example your name or a logo you like
Cool, that's a great idea.
Plus your address, phone number and next of kin
The Citizen BN0151-61 I bought from you a little over a year ago has a ratchet like that with the second safety lock. Citizen will sell you the bracelet for the BN0150-28 as well. I like their ratchet a little better than the strapcode but, to my knowledge, no one else makes a ratchet buckle. Good thing I really like my Citizen.
Thanks for sharing, and watching.
Maybe Strapcode have braclet for Seiko sary055 ? Would be nice upgrade , and it is quite popular watch.
None that I've seen.
Has anyone found these too beefy? I just bought a bracelet from strapcode, that has one of these clasps, for my Alpinist.
yes too beefy, i never liked beefy clasps. hated the one on my mm300, I'd take the cheap thin ones any day for comfort.
Not really, my 18mm one is ok, but I would not really want the 22mm one.
Looks like the same kind of mechanism that is on the Citizen NY0040 bracelet, except this looks HUGE!!! Doubt my 6.75” wrists could pull it off.
I put these on all my watches that have a SS bracelet, they are so comfortable.
You haven’t found them too beefy? I just ordered a bracelet from Strapcode with one of these for my Alpinist
I have a Prometheus Poseidon which came with a very similar clasp - but it has 3 micro-adjust positions on the extension tail, with about 4.5mm of adjustment range.
Not as adjustable as most bracelets where you have 1/4, 1/2, 3/4 link positions, but better than nothing.
Will this replace the 18mm clasp on the OEM jubilee that come son a Seiko 5 GMT?
Just got mine for a San Martin. It tapers down to 18mm links so this extending clasp should fit it. Maybe.
Never had a problem with strapcode bracelets
Nope!
Hi Mark, does the ratching clasp permit micro-adjust ratcheting (in say 2mm increements) or is it only in or out in two settings (if you follow me)? If not, are there any ratcheting clasps that allow micro-adjustment on the fly like the Omega Seamaster 300m clasp on the new models (post 2018)? Your video is not clear in relation to the level of micro-adjusts when using the rachet?
Each ratchet movement is 2.5mm. So you can easily extend it in individual increments of 2.5mm. Easy to extend and even easier to retract. Well worth trying one.
My wrist is so small that extention would already exceed the length of my wrist. But I would buy it if I ever felt the need.
LOL, thanks.
I'm trying to find one in 22 mm and not having much luck in Pennsylvania
Helm watches' bracelets now come with a very similar (if not same) clasp - which are universally hated by the buyers who replace them by reordering Helm's older, simpler designed clasps. It seems to be quite hard to come up with a new patent-free or original design for on-the-fly changeable bracelet clasps.
Need a diver clasp for the Angus
I dunno, it’s definitely more convenient when wearing, but the original clasp had the micro adjustments which look like it gave the same extension and definitely fit the smaller wrist better
When diving convenience is king.
Long Island Watch very true, wasn’t thinking of it as a true diver but how it would be for just an edc type watch. Just an every day wear not as a diver.
Was going to go with clasp and a Crafter Blue rubber strap - but then bough the Angus Jubilee instead.
Nice alternative to a glidelock-style clasp!
Yes, and affordable!
I put that same clasp on a watch (only it was the 20mm clasp) and my problem was that those pins are custom. They have a thicker tip and a bigger hole in the clasp and they're quite fat and didn't fit into my links. Regular pins stuck through the clasp. I had to buy single shoulder pins and I had to get them in the UK, couldn't find them here.
I love the quality of the Super-O I purchased from your store, along with an extra NATO strap & some additional odds ‘n ends. I received fantastic service and blindingly fast shipping, even amidst a global pandemic! Unfortunately, I have super thick wrists & getting quality straps of sufficient length has proven almost impossible. I’m on the very last hole on the OEM rubber strap from Seiko on my SKX007J. The NATO is a little better, but I really want the class look of the Super-O. At present, with the rubber strap, I’ve been duct taping it over my wet suit because I don’t trust the strap not to tear. Is there any way to purchase extra 18mm steel links as opposed to the factory ratchet extension? It costs almost as much as the strap for minimal extension of length. As a Canadian customer, with shipping, tax, duty & the horrendous exchange rate, I’d be into just the bracelet and ratchet extension for well over $200 Canadian!😳😢
I want one of these but its very expensive considering the price of the actual bracelet itself is not that far from just that clasp
Yes, you are correct there.
I have a Deep Blue Juggernaut 4 bracelet and I wanted to change it with HELM Diver Extension clasp. The problem was HELM clasp have thicker pin size (2mm) compared to the original(1.5mm), so the pin doesn't fit through the link hole. What should I do? Should I drill the links in order for the pin to fit or do you have a better idea? I heard strap code also use thicker pin size 1.8mm-2mm. Please help, thanks.
Would this work on the flighmaster?
Mark, are there settings on the extension of the clasp, or can you just open it a few millimeters at a time, for whatever amount of extension that you want?
I make straps and would love to try using this
Cool, thanks!
That thing is huge!
The clasp?
Long Island Watch Yes. How many links do you estimate you’d need to remove to make it fit on your wrist as the standard one did when the clasp is not extended?
That’s what she said.
Why do some 007 have red writing at the 6 and some have orange? Can any1 help me out with that, it really makes a difference on the bezel insert and hand colors I might pick.
I believe the orange is the made in Japan type.
Mark, isn't this basically what Rolex makes for their divers? If not, how do they differ?
Nice to have as an option, but Strapcode seriously needs to do something about that price...
Great vid and product mark!
Question: what is that reaper watch you had on at 3:40?
Thanks
Given the extra length of the clasp and the appearance, on your wrist anyway, Marc, of it now sitting a bit off-center, might it be necessary to remove an additional link from one side or the other to center things up again?
Nice video and cool accessory, if a little spendy.
For the temporary use during diving, it's great.
Will this work on the jubilee bracelets that come with SKX007's etc?
Could I use this to replace a butterfly clasp with buttons?
Can you replace the original Seiko clasp with this or is it compatible with the original Seiko clasp?
Is there a clasp like this for beads of rice new turtle ?
What band would I get for 23mm? It’s for a luminox 8050 watch but the damn rubber shows 23MM
you know what would be great? If spring bars existed to fit this. My seiko bracelet can only take 1.5mm spring bars at the clasp adapters, but I CANNOT find 1.5mm bars that have ends SO FKN THICC enough to fill up those gaping holes in this GD clasp
I drilled out the links to accomodate the fatter bars supplied. Was not difficult.
Fantastic!
Thanks.
Can you get something like that in a 22 mm size?
Can I install this on my seiko bracelet?
So I bought one but the prig bars are too thick to fit through my bracelet, and smaller diameter bars are too small and protrude through clasp sides. Buyer beware. Do you sell a springbar with a narrow diameter and larger end piece? U'll attempt to get measurements.
I just drilled out my links to accomodate the fatter spring bars. Job done.
How does this buckle compare to the Sub style that they sell on their higher specced bands? Better? Worse? If you want the best is it better to go for a cheaper strapcode and an expensive clasp?
I honestly wouldn't know; never used it.
where do you get those nice gloves from?!
They are refurbished surgical gloves
Wherever it is, lose them!
Since it is bigger than a normal clasp is it going to for a 6 inch wrist if i attach this to my super oyster
It's going to be large, no doubt.
What is that Seiko with the blue hands????
Modded SKX007
Nice
😎😎😎😎😎
Martin M first!
Will this buckle option be available on your watch your way custom watches?
Good question, I'm sure we can add them.
Would like to have seen it on the first setting out....
Sorry :(
No sir... That clasp only needs to be on a rubber strap.
Submariner, watch out!
LOL, sure!
Do they make a strap code for monster gen 3?
Not that I know of.
Looks good on pics. But has hard edges and bad machinering. It should be half the price. I bought it and i feel robber
For a seiko sarb017 too?
That's a different one we don't have, yet.
DIVING?? I take off my SRP777 on a Strapcode Super 3D Oyster when I wash my hands. Its has never touched water lol. That's just me thought 🤔🤔😎😎
Ridiculous. It's made for water!
Exactly.....🤔🤔🤔
LOL
If it was only "a" watch everybody would wear some sort of Casio with a resin band and Marc would be out of business in no time😝.
@Ginsung I know right. "Uhhh idiot" (Napolean Dynamite voice) 😂😂😂😑😑
Would be even cooler if it locked in both directions.
Not sure I agree?
I made an account at Strapcode and now they spam me with their promos. I never subscribed to anything on their site and they don't provide an unsubscribe option!
What is the name of that black watch that you had on your hand?
not sure of the specific model, but it's a Dievas
REAPER
@@islandwatch I’d love a link. Google search seems to be failing me… thank you so much.
Missed opportunity not including micro adjustments.
I'm not sure it's necessary, but I can see how it can be missed.
it doesn't look very nice when extended
The idea is to extend when diving, not all the time.
It would be uncomfortable with those corners against the wrist. It's not something to use when your body changes through the day. Unfortunately.
I can see the use Mark mentioned, and it's nice that you can snug it after putting it on the wetsuit.
I just wish they paid attention to those inside corners when they designed it. If they had thought about possible daily use, I'd be buying one post-haste.
It’s under yourwrist anyway, and it’s more comfortable to loosen the strap on your wrist than to have a tight strap when you get hot and your wrist expands
$70 is not at all unreasonable for this clasp. A Sinn branded deployant clasp is $90 from the AD.
Who are simn
Very true.
That would be great if you can't remove enough links
Good for fine tuning.
A bit ugly buckle there. And huge too. I’ll stick to rubber or nato for versatility. ;)
No problem, thank you.
:)
:)
Strapcode is bad 👎 specially the pins that it comes with as they easily bent and will come undone and your watch will hit the ground hard, like it happened to mine ! I am going to warn all watch lovers to avoid buying there strap.
Seasonal changes in your body? Lmao
Way too big and should lock both ways and only adjust when pushing button, not self slide tighten....
The buttons are ugly in my opinion
Maybe a big aggressive.
Unnecessary
Would this work on the Sinn H-Link?
Exactly what I’m wondering. Did you ever find an answer?
