Best Available SS Bracelet
I bought this as a replacement for my SKX007, which at 23 years old is still in mint condition, but the stock bracelet is, well, awfully jangly and light weight. I'm modding my watch, new movement (NH36), crown, bezel and insert, crystal, hands and dial- everything but the case, and doing so with the intention of keeping everything in mint condition. I want to be able to sell this watch for more than I paid some day, whether that’s in its modified state or by reverting everything to its original, stock, state, with every still mint.For modding parts I wanted the best available, and for bracelets that seems either to be this, Super-J or the Angus-J. I wasn’t sure if the Angus-J was really worth the extra 40 bucks or if the Super-J is the highest quality bracelet out there. After wearing the watch with both now, I have to say that the Super-J, at 38% the cost of the Angus-J, is definitely the better bracelet if you like the original but want the best version of it. The Angus-J, while looking similar, is almost a different bracelet altogether. It's far heavier and bulky than what I want in a Jubilee-style bracelet, or any bracelet, really. This band is heavily made but not so heavy as to be ridiculous, it's solid and sturdy but not overweight. The polished center links are very well polished, though the brushed outer links are not as strongly brushed as the original or perhaps my original is just old, it's hard to say looking at it actually. The clasp is crisp and holds well, no risk of it popping apart unexpectedly. It feels very well made. I do prefer the Seiko branding on the original but this one is still attractive enough.I would highly recommend this to anyone looking for a very high quality stainless steel bracelet for any watch, but it definitely looks like it was made for the SKX007 /009

Great quality and great fit.
I compared this to the uncle straps jubilee bracelet for a Hamilton khaki watch and for the money this is hands down better than the uncle and it isn't marked with the U. I will stick with Miltat. Good quality for a good price.

Looks great on my SKX011J
This thing fits my SXK011J (orange dial) perfectly! It fits so perfect that it is just slightly harder to put in place, but once I fiddled with it for a few min, it was golden. It's got a pretty good weight that matches the robustness of the original watch, as well. I can't recommend this band enough; it truly looks like it came with the watch.

so far so good. I placed this band on my Seiko SKX007 ...
After a month, so far so good. I placed this band on my Seiko SKX007 and have been very happy with the fit and finish. The watch is great and the band fits the watch as good as any other. The clasp locks down with dual deployant buttons with fold over safety clasp. The band links are secured with screws which makes sizing very fast and easy. Some edges are a little sharp, but I have not noticed any snagginging of clothes or cutting of skin. It is comfortable for everyday wear. As compaired to my Rolex Submariner, I would have to say the Rolex wins but the for the price point the Seiko/Strap Code combination makes a great watch for adventuring in and out of the office. I would recommend this band for the Seiko 007 and probably any other similar style watch. It is so nice I may end up with the Strap Code Oyster for another Seiko I have. Strongly recommend over other straps I have seen and I own Seikos, Citizens, Luminox, Reactor....etc. take a look.

Looks fantastic! (For 11 months and then broke).
I've bought a few aftermarket bracelets for my watches and have always been disappointed. This one for my SKX was fantastic! It looks great! Solid links, screwed in links makes for easy adjustment. I would only recommend to check to make sure the screws are secure because a month or so after putting the bracelet on, the screw link nearest the watch had come loose. I read that others had the same issue. Not that big of a deal, but I would tighten up the links every now and again, just to make sure.(Update): The clip that covers the clasp broke in the 11th month of ownership, and I don't wear the watch often. Communication form StrapCo was quick, but there is no fix apart from buying a new bracelet. Bummed that there is no warranty for the bracelet if purchased from Amazon (buying it from StrapCo gets you a 6-month warranty, so that wouldn't have helped me either). The bracelet is still wearable, so it's not totally a deal breaker, but disappointed with the lack of a warranty. Reducing my rating to 3 stars.

You'll need the right watch tools to remove links if required. But a great bracelet.
Beautiful! Very good quality for the money.

Great looking bracelet, insallation tricky
First of all, this is a really good quality watch bracelet. It looks great, has solid end links, and screw in segments. I had someone comment to me that it looked like a Rolex watch only by looking at the bracelet.Putting all of that aside, this watch band is not designed for the Seiko 5 Series, it's for the SKX series of watches. IF you want to use this for your Seiko 5 (I have an SRPD51) you need to either bend the spring bars yourself or get some curved spring bars so that they will 'click' into place. Installing these was a bit tricky in getting the spring bar oriented in the correct direction so they would click into place. Also, I recommend removing the end-links to get them installed so you don't have to deal with the bracelet during installation. I got one side installed with the bracelet attached, but the second side was problematic for me until I removed the end-link and installed only that, THEN reattached the end link to the bracelet.
