    That looks great! A vast improvement over the Seiko bracelet. As you said, with the polished bevel accents on the lugs, it looks like the hollow end links were designed to sit lower than the lugs. I love Uncle Seiko products! I went a similar route and threw one of their Speedy Flat Link bracelets on my Helson Sharkmaster 300, and the hollow end links fit the same as your Seiko here...they sat lower, but looked like they were designed that way lol. Cool video!

    The Uncle Seiko president bracelet for the Seiko SRPE51 fits the SNE573 with very minor adjustments to the endlink tabs. It looks great.

    if US speedy bracelet can be installed on these sne watches, maybe another speedy bracelet (from strapcode ?) can fit also ?

    That US bracelet looks great on it, and aesthetically better than the OEM.

    $90 for hollow end links and pressed clasp. Only me that thinks that's way overpriced?

      It's a fair point for sure. Sometimes Uncle is the only one making bracelet options, so you gotta pay to play I guess. F#$@ing Watches!

      @claytonnash6919 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@briang86 I ended up going to a local watch shop and the guy there had a Seiko jubiliee-style bracelet laying around that he popped on and it fit. I don't know the exact model of the bracelet as it just says Seiko on it and doesn't have a reference # or anything though I will note that it has hollow endlinks. I'm not a huge fan of the jubilee look but it adds a little variety to my watch collection and it's really comfortable in warm weather so I've been rocking that for now. I reached out to Uncle Seiko about making a bracelet specifically for the SNE473 and he said he might do it "someday." We'll see.

      Totally fair. In this case, it was one of the only options out there. So often it's hard to justify the $ with watches, it is what it is.

      Hi Edwards, can you please confirm that the Alpinist bracelet, is compatible for the SNE569, the version of the Alpinist it’s the SARB017 ? Thank you for your availability. Regards from Portugal.

    I bought the Seiko SNE571 and SNE585 and I plan to purchase the SNE583 as well as I love the look and size of this watch. If this had been out 3-4 years ago it probably would have saved me from buying automatic divers. Personally I don’t really think the stock bracelet is that bad. My biggest complaint is that a $500 watch doesn’t come with solid end links (admittedly the stock Seiko folded end links seem to fit very snug). I’ve not handled any Uncle Seiko bracelets, but they don’t seem like that much of an upgrade? You still have folded end links and a cheap stamped clasp. So other than changing the look, I don’t get what the attraction is of these Uncle Seiko bracelets for the solar divers. I’m usually fine with stock Seiko bracelets, but everyone else seems to hate them. I’m hoping Marc from Long Island Watch makes an aftermarket bracelet for the 38.5mm SNE5XX series. His bracelets are well priced and feature solid end links, milled scissor clasps and screw link pins for easy adjustment.

    • @ChillinwitWatches
      @ChillinwitWatches  ปีที่แล้ว

      The uncle bracelets are actually made for the speedmaster, not this watch, so if they had solid end links they probably wouldn't fit on the Seiko at all!
      I personally like the bracelet that comes on the solar divers as well. But I also prefer hollow end links! 😂

    Did he know it would get reviewed?
    If not it seems the tolerances in production are pretty poor as mine were more than 2mm off the pinhole before I bend them to fit, something he instructs how to do on his webpage, something that would've made me not order it if I saw it sooner, as that's just a sign of poor quality.
    Ordere the same one, also cut my finger and started bleeding from how poor the quality control was on the clasp where they had made a mistake in production and made a sharp cut in the metal.
    The polishing is decent, but the machining is horrendous. The hallow end links and the clasp had not been gone over, I sandpapered it down to make it less scary to wear. But ended up just taking it off after sizing it as I don't trust it at all and the sharp edges just scratching my watch giving it twice as many marks as it had, something it wasn't worth at all...
    Would not have passed CE marking here in Europe.

  • @jimclip2012
    @jimclip2012 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Which Seiko model is that? Your bezel looks too blue to be the blueish/grey version SNE569 but maybe it is since that’s the only color that comes on the bracelet.
