I received my order of 4 straps this week, two 20mm and two 22mm, and immediately put a couple to use.
What I’ve found:
1. Much stiffer than a genuine Swiss version, though about the same as some of the knockoff Hong Kong versions I’ve used. The Hong Kong versions kind of seem brittle to the touch but are actually durable. The Swiss versions conform to your wrist better, the US version might still require the hot water in a teacup treatment some folks employ. Haven’t determined if that is required in my case.
2. The Uncle Seiko version is almost half a mm thicker - ~3.30mm vs ~2.9mm. No opinion here, just an observation.
3. Looks perfect on the watch. I doubt anybody will notice it’s an excellent reproduction.
