Real men...

What matt meant to say was that real seikos don't belong on mesh. Or anything swiss.

Nah,its just something started by the 'hairy arm brigade' who dont like admitting they cant wear mesh because it hurts

[toxicavenger]

so you traded a Debaufre for this???? is Mark drinking again???

Probably drinking quite well...


with the money I added to the trade,

My favorite has always been Cheezy's orange wave vent strap

That was fast!

I like the Sumo bracelet on the MM300 clasp. Clean.

It looks great. I wish I was able to get the Sumo to fit me right on the MM clasp. For some reason the standard diver clasp fit my wrist better, so I ended up selling the clasp. I hope I can get the right fit when I finally order an MM300.

Looks good. Get that mounted ASAP.

French and mesh go together
Both are gay.

[toxicavenger]

That was fast!

what is your impression of it?

[mattcantwin]

The initial impressions are good.

The beads of rice are polished and the outer side links are brushed.
Seeing as how the Sumo has a combination of brushed and polished finishes, it complements the watch nicely.

Plenty long, I removed 4 links to size the bracelet and the pins came out and went back in without any difficulty.

The end links mirror the lug angles, fit snug to the lugs width-wise and are a bit recessed below the top edges.

Nice job by Harold designing this.


I will try to post some daylight pictures to show the bracelet better.

Here are a few quick shots for now.










I opted to go with the 22mm width.

The bracelet is wider below the lugs, but does not appear "wrong".

One of the issues I had with the Sumo OEM bracelet was the look of the watch with a 20mm bracelet, the 22mm width seems a better fit.

[toxicavenger]

that looks great!

[CGSshorty]

The 22mm bracelet with 20mm end links was the right choice Matt.

[kfalk]

Like this quite a bit. Good choice!

[smalls]

Perfection . 22 was the right call. Sumo should be like that from the factory.

Does he make a tapering bracelet?

[mattcantwin]

Does he make a tapering bracelet?

I don't think so.

I had the Anvil for a previous Sumo and that did not have a taper either.


However, I'll ask him and let you know.

[marchone]

That'll be a bitch to clean. Buy a WaterPik or an cheapo ultrasonic cleaner on eBay.

[mattcantwin]

Some daylight shots.

In the pictures, the gap between the bracelet and fitted end-link is exaggerated and is less noticeable on the wrist.

Although not significant, the brushed side "links" of the fitted end link appear a bit different than those on the bracelet.






I paid a few dollars more for the Seiko clasp; it has 4 adjustment positions a fold over lock and push button release.

[four20]

judging by the shape of some of the links in the WUS post, it looks as if there's a tapered one (which is what i'd opt for)


that BoR looks so much better than the Anvil on the Sumo. great choice, Matt

[mattcantwin]

Does he make a tapering bracelet?

Harold got back to me and said he offers the 22mm bracelet tapered down to the 20mm clasp.


I wrote back to ask if this is only true for the BoR bracelet, and he responded:

You can use the 22mm version Hammer, Anvil, BoR and Super Oyster Evo on the Sumo with a 20mm clasp.


(now I find this out )

[toxicavenger]

Does he make a tapering bracelet?

like Matt said Harold also told me 22mm down to 20mm is the choice's on tapered.

[CesarG]

Nice.

[JDC222]

Looks excellent!
