Good morning,
Being new to the world of Seiko, I was wondering what aftermarket bracelets members here recommend that have the best fit and finish for Seiko divers such as King Samurai, King Turtle, Willard and current monster?
I like these pieces on bracelets, rubber straps or other strap material that work really well and comfortable.
Thanks in advance for your suggestions!

You can never go wrong with Uncle Seiko

I need to check them out. I have heard people talking about uncle Seiko but thought they were referring to something else 😂.

shark mesh is an inexpensive option, i put the savings into rarcheting diver's extensions.
otherwise uncle seiko or strapcode offn er high qulaity bracelets.

Thanks for the advice. Sounds like the majority recommend Uncle Seiko and Strapcode. I’ll try these out in the near future!

For the Turtles, Strapcode makes a great oyster:

I agree with you now that I have tried one out in person. Thanks again👍

I tend to use Uncle Seiko for my GL831s, and Strapcode for anything metal.

I am unfamiliar with a GL831? Is this a model number for a specific Seiko watch?

Last month I purchased the SRPH97 King Samurai Night Vision Black Out Series that came on a black rubber strap. It fits nicely but prefer it on a bracelet. I see Strapcode has a 22mm Hexad Watch Band compatible with Seiko Samurai SSRPB55, 316L Stainless Steel Diamond-like Carbon (DLC coating) V-Clasp that would look great!

It is Uncle Seiko’s take on the original rubber vented straps supplied on Seiko vintage divers. He even makes them in various colors now:

I see @Katgirl guided you above.

Meanwhile, here is an OEM GL831 on a 6396-7001 I just happen to be wearing right now!

Wow, very nice! I like it and thanks for pointing that out to me. I’m learning something new every day.

Uncle Seiko Beads of Rice

I am really interested in the Beads of Rice after seeing more examples on this site and others👍.
I also like the look of the Jubilee too!

I received these three bracelets for my birthday (two Strapcode bracelets from my wife & Uncle bracelet from my parents). The Uncle Jubilee bracelet is for my Willard. The Strapcode bracelets have the six micro adjust clasps which is a must for me! I am very happy with all three bracelets and especially love the upgraded look from rubber straps to bracelets.

I have found that I actually like the 4 hole clasp available from strapcode/miltat (available on amazon) better than the 6 hole. Still plenty of adjustment and quality feel but much less chunky. I swapped one on my strapcode hexad bracelet for my king samurai and could not be happier. Another option/idea...

I don’t mind the four micro adjust clasp for the less bulky size and have some of those in my collection as well. Thanks for your ideas👍
