I agree they are solid quality and build straps. Thanks for the review of the various straps and bracelet.

i think of you as the seiko-version david duchovny

I like the transparency on the free products. Solid video too. Keep up the good work.

Thank you. I need straps. Nice info. Good presentated

Great watch great straps great video Dave 👍

Got a 22mm 'chocolate bar' rubber strap for my Seiko Turtle with anthracite dial. Between the dial, that strap, and a domed sapphire beveled crystal from my SBDC153, that Turtle is a homage to Seiko's first 3 divers. Turned that Turtle from something I got for parts into one of my favorite watches.

Hello Dave, Sweden here again. Nice looks with those straps. I really liked how smooth the bracelet looked when you draped it over your finger.

I bought an uncle seiko for my sumo and it just took it to another level, excellent review

I think that I read an article by Larry on his site where he describes the hollow endlinks as being designed to be adjusted as you describe ex to ensure a better fit that is flexible enough to overcome inconsistencies in the seiko cases.

Nice review, and good points raised in your review and your answers to comments, so I recommend people actual read the comments in this one. It is good to have people you trust reviewing particular items since from a picture, they do tend to all look the same, but quality and materials can be night and day.

Lots of good information, thank you

Awesome information buddy! :)

I cant say enough good things about the Uncle Seiko Z199 bracelet I got for my SKX007. It is a jubilee style, but with an all brushed finish. Perfect look and comfort. Thank you for the review of the others. I might get one of the rubber straps for one of my other watches, but I always want to wear the SKX since it looks so good on the Z199.

Good vid! Thank you!

Uncle Seiko makes some of the best straps in the game! I have a president style on my SKX and it elevated the watch to a new level. Larry is such an awesome guy BTW!

I really like my Uncle Seiko Beads of Rice bracelet for my Seiko SARB017 Alpinist. The combination is the most comfortable watch/bracelet I own.

I always enjoy your videos man. Rubber straps are the way for me personally, I don't like metal cinching arm hairs. I'll take a look at this. Cheers as always...

Those waffle straps are nice 👍🏿 great video!

The beads of rice bracelet is amazing on my mini turtle...the rubber straps are great, but pretty short for normal to large wrists. Great advice on the Seiko fat spring bars.

Larry's straps are comfortable! I have a z199 on my skx mod and its my favorite bracelet for that watch. Also a jubilee on my sarb035 and it makes that watch wear like it should. Great straps just ordered a gl831 for a turtle. Great guy with great customer service as well.

Did the little 'ears' on the underside of the end links for the beafs of rice scratch the lugs or back of your watch over time? Thanks.

Really useful video. I'm thinking of a Blue Rubber Uncle Seiko to go with my newly purchased Great White Shark Turtle Save the Ocean SRPD21K which comes with a metal bracelet. The Blue Waffle Uncle Seiko in this video though does look quite a shiny/plasticky blue which puts me off a bit. I was hoping it would have the dull vulcanised rubber look but this seems quite shiny looking. Has it toned down at all with use? Maybe a GL831 Blue would be better if I'm looking for a Blue that is not so shiny/plasticky looking...

I've had my Fluess on a Tropic since I bought the watch (ditched the suede!), for me they're just made for each other.

I just put the SKX BOR Bracelet on my Islander Watch…and not only do I like it, the wife loves it. I’ll be trying the Razor as well.

Looking for a black jubilee bracelet for a seiko 5 sport street edition, think it would look great.

Great review of a great product. I have had several straps from Larry but my favorite is the tropic strap. If you haven't already done so please check out Borealis tropic straps. They offer several colors and they are made of vulcanized rubber and are very good quality. A word of caution though, plan for a long delivery window, mine took 8 weeks from Portugal.

I've got two Uncle Seiko waffle straps for my vintage 6309 & 6105 dive watches & a bracelet for my 6138 chronograph. The quality of the straps is pretty good although the one for the 6105 is an earlier version & quite stiff. I was not impressed with the bracelet though, on their website it was described as having 3 microadjusts but only had two. Also the links would often jam together & the quality of the clasp was not very good, although once sized it did wear nicely on the wrist. I did point out the microadjust issue to Martin who is the agent for Uncle Seiko in the UK, but to date the website has not been updated.

Did you consider the hexad bracelet for the king samurai? That one is dope

Hiya Dave *Great* Bracelet & *Great* rubber straps. ...and I'm glad that I'm not the only one who has trouble getting a hollow end-link bracelet back on a watch TBH! I learned the hard way that all rubber straps are not created equal. I have my old Invicta Pro-Diver on a vintage inspired rubber 'rally style' strap. I paid decent $ for it because I loved the style and I couldn't find it elsewhere, so the price was the price. And it's a *great* strap. At the same time, I was buying a Tropical strap - same style as what you reviewed - for my Seiko 55 Fathoms, so I decided to cheap out a bit to offset the cost of the other strap. So thebTropical looks fine and it's comfortable but the rubber compound is a bit tacky and collects a heap of dust etc., and it makes my wrist feel a little tacky after a days wear. So when I purchased a waffle strap for my Capt. Willard I did a bit of research and ended up going with Uncle Seiko. And you are correct. They are spot on. So I'll be buying a 2nd Tropical strap - this time from Uncle Seiko. So the lesson is...again!By cheaping out and buying an inferior product, I've ended up spending more in the end! 💸 You think that I would've learned by now? Cheers and Best Dave. A.

Hi everybody out there!

Like the straps a lot as well as my Z199 jubilee I use for my turtle 👍🏻🙏🏻

How is the Yema Navygraph watch holding up? The yellow hands are awesome on that dial. Thanks

nice collection

Is the bezel insert on that Navygraf misaligned? I've been contemplating getting that watch, but if they have QC issues I might have to pass

Just bought their Razorwire for my Pepsi Samurai and it's taken it to a new level...

For the beads of rice braclet try the Geckota i guess their's is way better

I had a iffy experience with the tropic strap from uncle seiko The 1st tropic keeper broke off almost as soon as I started wearing. I contacted U. Seiko and he sent me a new one same issue with the second. Also the president bracelet for my turtle never fit quite right but he did warn that on the website. Well good customer service at least.

First one on the Spinnaker looks 👌🏻

I have a few Uncle Seiko straps and they’re great quality... I tried to cheap out and bought an amazon waffle strap for 12 bucks and it was no uncle Seiko...

I have a Tropic for my SKX009J AND MY Orient Ray2.... absolutely LoVe it!!! I also have a FatTire strap in 20mm for my SKX013 and presently on my SNE107 Solar Prospects. These straps are nothing but comfort and quality with a vintage flare.... HIGHLY recommend them... hope to one day add a 18mm BOR for some vintage dress watches of mine... great review! 😎💨 @nashvillewatch ⌚️

Unfortunately NOTHING seems to be produced for larger wrist sizes i.e. 20cm or +8” inches without having to go custom at 10X the cost, do you have any suggestions?

I had a vintage seiko tuna the pin broke lost it I will only use a wrap strap like NDC I wont even use velcro only the kind that if a pin fails you still have your watch

If you don't like a watch like you thought you would, before you flip it, try different straps on it. A couple of my favorite watches were destined to be sold before I did that. The right strap can make all the difference in some watches.

Do they have a metal braclet that would fit a victorinox inox?

The waffle strap looks just like the $12 ones on AliExpress. Do like that tropical one tho

Would be nice if he made solid endlinks for these bracelets.

I just got the black tropic. Looks and fits well. I stuffed into an 18 mm case with no problem. The only criticism is that it feels like plastic and not rubber.

You can wrap a piece of electrical tape around the spring bar.

Hi, gotta say you are developing your style and channel very well, it seems you and I got into the Hobbie at similar moments in time and it’s great to watch the channel develop. Having said that a few issues that hit me as I watched this vid: words are crucial and “throw this on” is never to go over well either for you or you product, get a can of air as far too much dust around on your close ups, add some diffusion to your lights as it’s too hard and flattens all in view and washes the colour and textures away. Ignore me with pleasure you are doing it and I am not! All the best Bob

I’ve wondered if Uncle Seiko is related to Seiko? I don’t really know if Seiko is a family name, or if it translates into a common Japanese name? It seems almost like a patent infringement by using the Seiko name in the brand. Great review as always!!!

An 80$ bracelet should fit without having to mess about. I'd not have been happy with that .

Have you ever wanted to review a Victorinox inox? The first model not the dive watch.

I bought the president bracelet for my alpinist from uncle seiko but as far as the rubber straps I would stay away from those. They're incredibly cheap looking and $40 is insane for rubber.

They are all too stiff. I'll stick with the softer original silicone strap. I love stretchy straps. The black is also deeper.

Wasn’t going to click on this as I don’t want the bracelet in the thumbnail. But I clicked anyway and saw two straps I’ve been thinking about and very nearly bought several times. If only there was some way to improve the odds that when I open your videos the other thumbnails on my screen are all less interesting or relevant...

Blue waffle? 🤨

I like your other videos but sorry, this feels like an ad with the endless gushing and emphasizing how the owner will be glad to help out etc. etc. These straps don't really look that different from the $10 ones and the price is on the higher side for rubber straps.

I was given a couple of Uncle Seiko straps and all I have to say is that they are terrible. They never break in and are very stiff. If I can offer some advice get them from Amazon at a better price.

Blue waffle strap.....

Do not google blue waffle without the straps

Its insane for that money uncle seiko make bracelets with hollow end links. Better get strapcode. But both strapcode and uncle seiko using this crappy clasps i have strapcode Super Jubilee and security clasp is loose like yours. I cant understand why they dont make better clasps for that price.. Its a shame.

Bracelet looks great but with those endlinks and the cheap clasp it's a no go. Especially for nearly ~100USD. If you have ever had a modern Tudor, Rolex, Omega bracelet in your hands then this in comparison just pales. And they are like 300-500USD. It's just not worth it to cheap out. Can't anyone produce a high quality bracelet for 200?

I still don't get the rubber strap thing.... Just tears everything good down about watches. NO!

My tip is too fat 😎

Uncle Seiko may do decent straps, but his approach to customer care is a desaster. If you buy there, use PayPal only. One of his shipments to me got lost, all i got from him were some bible quotes and the Information that he does not track his shipments because that would cost him too much time. Finally i got my money back, but just because i paid via PayPal.

came here looking to get a review on the uncle seiko straps but maaaan... those watches with "tudor" hands and the faux blancpain uugghh . what a bunch of ugly watches
