Hi, thanks for the great tip. Had the same problem with my silver and yellow 6139 Pogue and your recomendation saved the day. Even more because the original bracelets were missing a couple of links and were short for my 7" wrist too. If it is no secret, how much did you pay for your silver 6139. They are running quite expensive here in Brasil. Keep it up. Best regards,

You should know I think it looks awesome. Glad you could make use of this almost necessary accessory.for the 6139. I was going to do the H-link, but everyone seems to buy that and the silver dial is usually seen to have been sold with the Stelux presidential style bracelet. I hope you enjoy it for many many years. Cheers.

I also have both. The Strapcodes are much more modern bracelets. The Uncle Seikos are more vintage inspired and often close reproductions of iconic Seiko models . Both brands are very good although I would agree the Strapcodes are the higher quality. For a modern watch I would tend towards Strapcode, however, for a vintage watch definitely Uncle Sekio.

I have an Uncle Seiko beads of rice bracelet on my SKX009. It's definitely a cool looking. The quality of mine isn't the best though. The finishing and clasp on mine isn't great. A few links are actually sticking out from not being milled and at a different angle. I don't know if mine was just poorly done, or if they are all like that. It would be an awesome bracelet if mine had been executed better!

I like my uncle Seiko presidential for my 6139-6005 (blue dial) except the clasp. I wish they would use a milled bracelet like my strapcodes for my skx’s instead of the stamped but it’s a good bracelet overall. I really wish strapcode made a bracelet for the 6139.

I know's it's been a year, but ordered a waffle bracelet for my new Orient Mako II USA, white dial with black waffle should be great. He answered me promptly and told me to have him ship thinner spring bars for the Orient, have a few bracelets I want to replace. The new Seiko Monster. and a Prospex 200M Automatic Blue Ref. SBDC053 . Larry told me to install it on my first watch. see how I like it and then order either a waffle or other style or bands or replacement. The Monster needs to replaced sooner rather than later and may want to go bracelets.. I don't care for Seiko's bracelets, don't hate them, just not wild about them. The SBDC053 I purposely ordered on silicon leather and I rather like it and would like to in the not near future replace it with something better..

Bad build quality does not equal uncomfortable. And frankly...they aren't even that bad considering so many from the 70's are still very usable. But, if you want a better bracelet, Seiko will end up pricing their watches outside their target...so I think people need to chill out and stop comparing $200 watch bracelets to $1000+ watches...if you want a luxurious and outstanding bracelet, Seiko has you covered with the Grand Seiko.

Hey Jory, big fan. My eyes got lit looking at the original bracelet of your watch. It's the exact same bracelet that is on my grandfather's Seiko UFO (6138-0011) he gave me few years before he passed away. I see that you aren't a big fan of the bracelet but I love it and I am about 2 links shy on my grandfather's UFO. I've been looking for this original bracelet but can't find it anywhere and can't trust eBay and other lesser known websites. If you are interested in selling the bracelet, please let me know.

If it’s the same that is THE most sought after silver dial 6139 ever. I had a chance to buy it but it was just too much. Congratulations! Terrific video and the 6139s were the first production auto chronographs and first ones in space too!
