We must be on the same wavelength because just this week I received the same Endmill bracelet for my blue SRP773 Turtle and found that it took all of five minutes to get it sized and mounted with no drama. What you'll notice about the Strapcode screws that hold the links together is that they are cleverly attached to the bar that runs through the link so even if they back out over time, they cannot be lost. That is pretty ingenious. The bracelet is an obvious improvement over the Seiko OEM piece. I was also a little surprised in that it doesn't feel much if at all heavier. In the end its a good replacement bracelet, a nicely made one for Seiko divers, and its well-finished. I didn't hear angels sing when I put the watch on my wrist for the first time with the Endmill attached, but I am pleased overall. I also got an Oyster style Strapcode bracelet for my SBBN031 Tuna and it too appropriately adds to the watch as a whole. Of the two, I think I prefer the Oyster style links, both for comfort (less chance of hair-pulling) and looks. Great, honest review as always, Aron!

I’m an original owner of a 6309-7049 turtle. Bought it at the Newport Navy Exchange in 1982. It has been serviced once…..still very accurate. When needing to replace the strap, I’ve always ordered it direct from Seiko (Z-22). I just ordered my fifth Z-22, and I swear, it’s more “plasticy” [sic]! And the buckle was cheaper, too. (Something else to place the blame on Covid!). But that oyster looks phenomenal on that watch…..it really jazzes it up! BTW, is that an original bezel? The numbers appear almost amber….maybe the natural patina? Nice video, amigo….very well done! I wonder….how many of us out here in KZfaq land aren’t ordering one based on your review? Bravo-zulu….on a value-added video!

Just did the exact mod with the exact strap. I found that the Strapcode link pins did not fit the holes correctly. The Seiko ones have a slightly smaller "tip" and worked better.

Got a padi turtle. Bracelet fell apart 4 times now so looking for a new bracelet or strap....interesting video

I think that so called OYSTER STYLE BRACELT is called the PRESIDENT I have that one & I feel it's quite heavy.

Probably the weight difference could be due to your new bracelet being tapered where your old one is just straight.

WOWZAA that looks Awesome Aron. I love it! And thank you for the shout out!! Great company for sure!!👍👊 Also love that B.A. knife!👍👍🗡

I have both models of the Applegate Fairbairn combat folder in both large and small sizes

The engineer bracelet is always going to be heavier because it doesn't taper the same way.

Endmill looks the best on wrist from distance.

Nice job Aron...I like the oyster style,..you just can't go wrong with it.

Im considering this for my orient kamasu. The original bracelet has hollow end links, functional but cheap looking clasp (which it is tbf) plus push pins... This looks like a decent alternative.

That looks like a President style not an Oyster style.

What model is the watch on your hand, please!

That’s what a real bracelet sounds like , looks real good too , them seiko pins and pipes or collars are so daft , keep up the good vids , cheers.

Definitely a great look for the turtle!

Just got my reissued "Arnie" Snj027 ( Pepsi bezel version ) and after deliberating for over 2 weeks, I decided on the Strapcode brand Super Engineer II because it looks better than the Hexad . ( in my opinion). The Hexad just doesn't grab my attention in the same way. Btw, I almost purchased from Strapsco but they use pins instead of screws in the bracelet design/construction, and about $35-40 cheaper.

Looks beautiful

Looks GOOD Aron 👌🏽

I ended up purchasing an identical strap on eBay for 35 bucks direct from Hong Kong

Isn't that the Gerber "covert" folder ? I think the combat folder is the same knife but larger.

NICE KNIFE!

the engineer bracelet is heavier cause its more metal on it. thicker aswell.

I have the Super Engineer II for my SRP775, thinking about getting the Super Jubilee Two-Tone. Currently have it on a natural veg tan leather one piece strap. Great video. Also been thinking of getting the Oyster style for my SKX007. I had been doing some digging, I was trying to find out who made the first metal bracelet for a watch. Like what company first had metal bracelets as an option for a watch.

Looks great bro! Your watch and knife game is strong!

want to sell the BFK?

What model pf seico is first watch?

Ha I have the exact same endmil bracelet on my SRP775. And I think the super engineer is just a much beefier bracelet hence the weight dif.

Note to anyone: Use Loctite on the screws! I almost lost my watch because of a screw coming loose while running.

Strap anvil nya MANTAP👍 🇮🇩

Mr, i am telling about the watch on your hand/. Please! Tell me, complet name or model of the watch of your hand, not about seiko srp 775.

BFK w/Engineer is 10/10

Just perfect 😎👍

Nice strap but wow finally a “Knife”

That knife is really weak. Please use a real knife next time. Not a cheapy. Jk

Only wankers care about what knife you use to open a package. Keyboard warriors hammering away on their keyboards as their mom reheats their hotpockets in the microwave. Real men just tear it open with their bare hands. Also you should use a proper plier-style springbar tool for metal bracelets. The single-end tool is just for leather, rubber and NATO straps.
