I totally get what you are saying. In all honesty if Uncle Seiko didn't have such great service and continually strive to make better/improved editions of every product he sells I would probably not buy from anyone. But so far the Uncle Seiko products have been great.Selym wrote: ↑Mon Feb 18, 2019 10:26 amI've bought a few of these China-sourced solid-link bracelets made for Seiko cases from various vendors (e.g. Will Jean, Strapcode). In almost every case, there's been a small problem, such as a stiff link, stripped threads, or an end link that needs to be filed slightly in order to fit properly.toxicavenger wrote: ↑Mon Feb 18, 2019 10:17 amHonestly since Uncle Seiko came around I stopped dealing with Strapcode unless I have too.
I was ok with this when they were going for $50-60. Not so much now that they're approaching $100.
Also, I can't put my finger on exactly why, but they all look a little "cheap".
Turdle bracelets and clasps.

Re: Turdle bracelets and clasps.
To be clear, I've always had good results with Uncle Seiko products. It's the other vendors that I've had minor issues with.toxicavenger wrote: ↑Mon Feb 18, 2019 10:32 amI totally get what you are saying.
