GS bracelet mod

Post by toxicavenger » Fri Jan 27, 2017 4:10 pm

The endlinks on the BOR isn't exactly tall enough to fit the GS case perfectly but I got it pretty close.

It looks great, T.
Based on Seiko's own design for Sumo I think you got it perfectly.

Good call. Marinemaster bracelet fits in similar fashion too.

Thanks guys. I am going to tweak it a little bit more but it looks great in person. The stock GS bracelet is awesome, but it doesn't have the BOR flexibility. Also the GS stock bracelet is heavier.

I love it!

I never wore a BOR until recently and I am a big fan now.

Terry you gotta check out the bracelet that comes on the SBGE001 sometime. Each link articulates in 3 spots. It's insane.

Looks great T. Are they snug enough that the links won't wear the case?

I have owned that one briefly. You are correct about the bracelet, it is one of the best bracelet's to come out of Seiko imo.

Yep, the curve of the SXK endlinks actually match the case perfectly. I just had to raise the height of the endlinks to fit the curve of the case. And I had to mod the curve of the spring bar holders on the endlinks.
