I remember when I was a kid growing up in the city (SF not NY, but grand parents lived in Connecticut) there was a Radio Shack in every neighborhood. It was cool because in the early to late 80's they all sorts of parts for the hobbiest. I really like that you are producing these parts. Not going to lie, the titanium case is pretty smart. Reminds me of your neighborhood watch shop.

Mark, I love your channel and you’re one of the most knowledgeable watch guys on the net. I bought my son a Seiko SSB323p1 with a 22mm band width. The problem is no matter how many links in the band I remove or add, with only two fine adjustment pin location holes, the band is either too loose or too tight on my son's wrist. My question is, if I buy a new genuine Seiko 22 mm band with more than two fine adjustment holes, do you know off hand if it will fit the watch ? Thanks for your time...
@islandwatch
@islandwatch 3 жыл бұрын
it won't. You'll need to find a clasp instead. Do you know the width at the clasp. Might not be 22mm. Might be 20mm. Then, get a clasp, like our CLASP-01, that has more micro.
