Yeah, good luck getting that watch for $65 anymore.

This is the ultimate gateway watch, I own the blue one. It was my very first automatic watch that I ever owned. I never sold it I will keep it forever, and I will be buying that bracelet from you sir!!! You are a freaking genius!!!

You're killing me with the ease you dropped that bracelet in! I spent 30 minutes sweating as I tried to get my sausage fingers to do what I told them for the install of a BRAC-74 on my Duro. In the end, it was well worth the effort. So I can't complain - but sometimes still do. That is a sharp looking bracelet for the Seiko. Bravo on matching the hue!

Don’t own the watch but I love that you’re supporting and helping the watch community bring their older collector pieces to a new level. Awesome.

Very nice Marc. My first automatic watch was the SNK809. I still have it. Now I need the bracelet.

The bracelet you sold me for my Casio Duro improved that watch for me 100 percent! Totally worth the expense. You’re a genius, Marc!

SARB017 bracelet would be amazing!

The hits keep coming. It takes a true watch enthusiast to design and produce a bracelet that elevates a watch that is out of production (and price accessible when it was!). 9075 Republic? YES! I have my credit card ready.

That is a SPECTACULAR improvement! Well done Marc.

Got my SNK809 from you and now the bracelet too. Awesome stuff!

You are just just amazing Mark ! Thanks for your work !

This is perfect Mark. I plan on digging this watch out and purchasing the bracelet right away. Thank you!

Lovely match, takes the watch to another level.

I really know few people who put as much passion into what they do as you do. Thank you so much Mark I ❤ LIW

My bracelet arrived this morning. It lookf and feels great on my SNK803 (which I ordered from you years ago). It's an excellent upgrade for this classic Seiko.

Marc, you are the master of marketing and sound business sense. You offer compelling, value for money products while maintaining a warm, generous, and most importantly, genuine persona. I want to buy a watch from you and have wanted to for more than a year but I am still waiting for juuuuust the right combination of design, features and price. I sooooo look forward to my first purchase.

Marc, you've improved that watch 1000%. Great job 👍.

I have just put on my blue Islander Republic and boom, I see the wristwatch check in this video... 😂

It's really cool that you are making a bracelet for a watch that's out of production. What's always kept me from buying this generation of 5 was the lack of hacking and hand winding (but maybe I'm wrong about that!)

Beautiful job....top notch ! 👍

Sick Mark! Looks freaking awesome

That transforms the watch, Bravo!

Excellent match!

No way!!!! I’ve been waiting for this wooooo

I did a “Tug test” last night myself Marc. Like the video. Thanks

Beautiful match

Mark, amazing job on the bracelet and the price is unbelievable!!

Got mine for about $40 with a discount back in 2015. I still throw it on every now and then for an easy weekend wear. I'll definitely be dressing it up with this bracelet! Nice!

I have all 4 colors. Yes, they were my first dive into nice watches. I will be getting one of these bracelets.

Marc, nice job on the bracelet! It completely changes the look of the watch. Kudos

Very freakin cool! Well done Marc!

I'm glad that i have the original bracelet. Looks exactly like this, nice one!

That’s a great price! Thanks Mark

I ordered mine as soon as I got the email news they were available! Shipped out yesterday, and I am stoked to receive and put it on!! Now, how about a quality bracelet for the Seiko SNKL23J1! 🙂

Looks excellent

That looks great. I love a flieger or field watch on a bracelet.

Already ordered. I have the green one and yes, it was my first mechanical watch. I’ve always hated the strap. For $60, this will make it a watch that I’ll wear again. I think you’ve got a winner here!

Fantastic match

Well this video and the bracelet were made for me ❤

I’ve got 5 of these - can’t wait to add a bracelet (or two) to the collection. I’ve been looking for this for a long time…

Darn the bracelet sure does make the watch look 20X cooler! It is a proper serious tool watch now. Excellent work on matching the finishing, it looks OEM, but better. Im dailying an Explorer II right now but this video made me wanna get the SNK809, for real.

That’s a beautiful bracelet.

Marc, I ordered this bracelet from your email then saw your video. I ordered the bracelet on Wednesday afternoon and received it this morning.(Saturday) Extremely fast delivery. I was on my way to work so did not install it until after I got home. Wow, what a perfect match. After I removed two links with the included screwdriver it fits perfect and looks outstanding. As normal your products are first rate. Thanks for being a person that is a pleasure to do business with.

Looks bad ass. Getting that match on the bead blast is impressive.

Marc, that’s not only my first Seiko, but I’m wearing it right now! Blue dial. I have it on brown leather right now, but it’s just not right. The bracelet makes much more sense.

Thats a brilliant bracelet for that watch.

This one's going on my 803 - ordered!

Excellent. Thank You.

I gave mine to my nephew. I'll absolutely see if he wants the bracelet though. Great work as usual.

Just ordered it and I look forward to seeing it on my watch. Looks like a good match in finish and style. I go this great watch for my son when he turned 13 but now he wears another Seiko so I get to wear it sometimes. :-)

Nice job!

Fantastic matching job! Please do an oyster for the Squale 1521 blasted!

looks very good

Looks amazing

Love blasted stainless!

Paid around 55 for mine back in the day. Amazing watch, I have a nice double padded leather strap on mine, but this bracelet looks great. Thinking about getting one.

Love the bracelet. Will be a great upgrade for my seiko snk809. Will the bracelet be back in stock soon?

Really cool Marc! I would love to see one for the Seiko Tortoise SRPG15

These look awesome! I was fortunate to pick up a SNK805 before the prices went up. So this bracelet cost almost the same price I paid for the watch LOL

Was waiting for you to release this bracelet! SNK809 has one of the most legible dials out there. Bought this for $80 in 2020. Uncle Straps released a bracelet for this model last year, but disappointed it had hollow endlinks and looks flimsy. This one looks really robust and sturdy.

Mine is a K1, this looks to be a significant improvement, it's now with Double domed sapphire and wearing a milanese looking great. I've got an 803 and an 805 so one of these could serve on all three.

AWESOME! I'd LOVE something like this for the SNZG field watch and the Orient defender--I'd buy em both the nano-second they come out!!

Nice! Looks like Uncle bracelets are getting some competition!

Ya know don’t need this but damn it’s beautiful! Love my Snk809 (thanks Urban Gentry!) on a NATO but this Really elevates it. I’m seeing the Snk800 series on Amazon from $175-$219 depending on the color. Amazing. Original MSRP was $185 and I got mine from Mark for $115 a few years ago. Just wild how scarcity breeds value.

Enthusiasts will be happy to know there's a new third-party bracelet for the Seiko SNK series! It's a great way to upgrade your watch with added style and comfort.

Although I have the SNK807, my very first introduction to automatics many years ago, I seldom wear it because of sentimental value, it’s still tempting to go for this since I am a bracelet guy. I wonder if it would fit the 36mm Timex North Solar?, if not, you should consider making one for it, it needs a matching bracelet as much as the SNK800 series.

Looks great! Any chance of making a similar bracelet for the Squale 1521 with the bead-blasted finish?

Wow, great job matching the case finishing.

Very nice!!

looks great...just like an OEM piece...

That’s awesome Marc! Can you please tell me what’s the width of the middle link from the bracelet joining the end link? Hoping it could maybe fit my beloved JDM SBCA001. 😮

That is so much better!!!

Wait WHATT!!!? Islander Republic with 9075 did you say? That is the greatest news 👏

This was my first automatic. I call it the Train Chaser. It was for a trip around Europe so i wouldn't have to be pulling out my phone to check the time.

I will have to get one of these in due course. Looks great. Any chance of some SNXS bracelets next…

Looks amazing! On an unrelated note, I bought the watch shown on your Seiko page header image, because... I'm a sucker for good product imaging I suppose.

What a genius idea! Lovely looking quality too. 👍 Shame I don't have the watch but my Laco (36mm !) B Uhr scratches that itch for me. 👍😄

Wow, the finish looks amazing! Now you make me want a watch I've never wanted. I have a couple other similar Seiko 5s, but I've never been a big fan of their 7s26 movement and their 18mm and 19mm lug widths which make them look so dainty on my wrist. Most leather straps have a tapper, making them look very feminine.

When were these officially discontinued? Yes, I know NOS can still be bought from the grey market. My guess is that the latest serial numbers on these are from 2021-ish?

Yep I own this watch, the beige dial was the first automatic watch I bought myself (not gifted to me). I just need to put it back together, I took the dial and movement out of my ISL-21 and put it in the SNK case. Sadly the hands were too tall and there are the two dimples on the ISL-21 dial that align the chapter ring that I couldn't hide so I just need to reassemble the SNK but if I ever do get around to it I will definitely order this bracelet. PS a blue aventurine Brookville in 38mm would be really cool, I'd be remiss if I didn't mention it! ;)

Awesome. Would the 18mm blasted bracelet on your website match my SRPJ85?

Received it yesterday, the big decision was which watch to put it on. I have all four colors so I went with the black one for now. It looks great! Are you going to bring one out for the Range Master Mechanical? That would look fantastic.

Well done Mark. It matches the watch really well. Although, not for me, I'm really over "O" style bracelets. Boooorrring!

I put mine (green one) in a bigger Seiko case, new crown, bezel insert and changed the minute and hour hands, and added a chapter ring and gave it a totally new look like a half diver half pilot Seiko.

Honestly, bead blasted is my favorite finish.

LOVE IT

Looks amazing! Will buy it. Hopefully you can have a bracelet made for the Orient Triton (with power reserve) with female endlinks. That should sell like hot cakes since it's a very popular model. The Strapcode version for the Triton is massive due to the male endlinks, and extends the L2L.

I'll have to get this bracelet for my nephew. Will the upcoming snx bracelet also fit the Snk381k1 case?

Looks like it tapers, 18mm to 16 perhaps? Great bracelet regardless. I hope you sell a boatload

I got my SNK809 several years ago from Amazon during a Black Friday sale, only paid $41 for it! I would be interested in buying the bracelet but I passed the watch on to my daughter a couple years ago. This, however, almost makes me want to go buy another one!

Impressive - was not even in the market for ones of these watches but for the sake of under a couple of hundred quid for that look - take my money 😆

Mark, I have the SNZG15K1 and the SNZG09K1 which have the 22mm lugs. Do the ones you're showing have 20 or 22mm lugs. My point being, do you have that band for a 22mm lug Seiko, they do look good.

Hey Mark, love it, but I have the Snk809 blasted with Blasted original bracelet 🤔

I have always been into watches and had a few, but my real gateway drug was my Omega Seamaster Chronograph for my 50th birthday in 2020. That was my first automatic watch 😁

I was one of the people that suggested the Republic with a 9075. I own the Sellita version and what I love about it is that it was a fairly restrained and tasteful dial design despite having everything you need for tracking three time zones. It would be a shame to let that beautiful design go extinct.

Any plans to do black bracelets for the SRPH33 and blackout models?

Hi Mark. I love your channel. I’m curious if you can recommend a watch that looks like Blancpain 50 fathoms with 200m water resistance. Quartz probably as I don’t want to spend more than $100. I like a NATO band not bracelet. Every dive watch I see seems to look like Rolex sub or a Tudor black bay. Thanks

Good advert just put my order in 🎉

Hey mark! Do you think there would be a market for a bracelet option for the 42mm khaki field? I have only seen an aftermarket bracelet for the Murph and 40mm and 38mm version's.

I like the logo placement. I also think it would be cool if the logo or name was on a part of the clasp that gets hidden when you close the clasp.
