Re: Strapcode MM300
It is just a oyster bracelet with different endlinks. I wish it matched the looked of the MM case more.Seppia wrote:Wow
If they tried on purpose I think it would have been hard to come up with a worse end link
Edit: this said the actual bracelet looks 2729373829 times better than the stock one in terms of design.
Looks like the finishing doesn't match though

Re: Strapcode MM300
I guess shipping on the endlink blank was a bad idea. Should have stuck it on the CAD. I question the sanity of whoever thought that wasn't utter shit.
Re: Strapcode MM300
All they had to do was make the end links similar to a Sub. There are 10,000 "homage" watches that use these end links. Is it so hard? Hell, all they had to do was tweak their SKX SO endlinks. I'm almost as disappointed as I was to finally see the Damasko bracelet.toxicavenger wrote:It is just a oyster bracelet with different endlinks.

Re: Strapcode MM300
It's a hard call which is worse. Clearly these end links are shit, but having to send your watch back for the crappy damasko bracelet is pretty bad too.dnslater wrote:All they had to do was make the end links similar to a Sub.

Re: Strapcode MM300
Better end links than their first try...... How hard is it to just match the standard MM300 end links!
I would probably buy another MM300 if it had a decent aftermarket bracelet.
Yobokies Chisel bracelet has the nicest end links, but I would probably prefer a more standard Oyster design.
Supposedly some have just bought these end links from Harold and made a Strapcode Endmill bracelet for the Sumo work.

Re: Strapcode MM300
^^^That one does have the best endlinks. I just think the bracelet doesn't match the MM design/finish at all. Like the Halios Bluering, I loved the design of the watch but the bracelet looked like it was from a different watch.
The new jubilee from Strapcode looks like they put SKX endlinks on a MM and called it "good".

Re: Strapcode MM300
I think this watch belongs on a strap the more I wear it anyway.

Re: Strapcode MM300
I like it on the beefy bracelets. It matches the heft of the case. I actually liked it on the fake jubilee.
Re: Strapcode MM300
I've had mine on a Crafter Blue since I got it. Still, I think the OEM bracelet is far better than reports have it.
only accurate watches are interesting

Re: Strapcode MM300
I agree. I really liked the bracelet.
Re: Strapcode MM300
You sure as hell can't compare it to state of art offerings from IWC or GO and the like but if you can get a fit it's all right.

Re: Strapcode MM300
Still not a fan of the jubilee endlinks on the MM.
Now they have a Super Engineer bracelet

That's terrible. It looks like the generic hold end links that are made to fit a universal lug width.toxicavenger wrote:

Re: Strapcode MM300
That view the jubilee end link is pretty ugly. The MM300 looks great in that video. I want one, but I'm almost 100% sure it would be way too big for me. Has anyone owned one and a 42mm PO2500? How do those compare in size.

Re: Strapcode MM300
Honestly the back of the 2500 sat like the U1 on my wrist. The MM sat flat on my wrist.JP Chestnut wrote: ↑Fri Feb 17, 2017 9:39 amThat view the jubilee end link is pretty ugly.

Re: Strapcode MM300
I'm not scared of height (my EZM1 and SD both stand pretty proud) - it's the lug to lug. The 47.7mm lug to lug on the PO is pushing it for me.toxicavenger wrote: ↑Fri Feb 17, 2017 9:43 amHonestly the back of the 2500 sat like the U1 on my wrist.

Re: Strapcode MM300
I'm really surprised how much smaller it wears than I expected and I do prefer smaller sized watches. Not once have I ever thought it felt too large for my wrist.

Re: Strapcode MM300
It's not a size preference for me. Here's a direct shot of my wrist with my GMT2:
My wrist is around 6.25 these days. I suspect that the MM300 would look like the corduroy pants guy's watch on me.
