Got mine last week and it's a great strap, and have had it on since Friday. Both shorter and softer than the OEM Z22 flat vent. I like the fact the keeper is thinner also. He's even releasing a shorter version in January which would be a positive for me on watches with longer lug to lugs.

Great strap by Larry. Works well on my 6306. Super comfy and well executed.

Great straps for sure. For some reason though, I just can't get past the "Uncle" branding stamped on them.

He makes great stuff. I just ordered the Z199 bracelet this weekend and was very tempted to get this as well. Have his tropic, waffle, and Hershey bar straps already.

What’s the difference between this one and the JDM DAL1BP Flat Vent?

I don't know I don't have one to compare it too :shrug: . I do have a stock flat vent on my SKX173 and this one feels a whole lot softer.

I’m DEf getting one of these. I love my BC but I’m a big fan of uncles products.


Prob with the older Seiko rubber straps is that they come stiff as Hoppy at a Vegas male review.

His Z199 bracelet is one of my favorite bracelets- ever. Great vintage feel but feels quality.

I haven't tried the UncleSeiko strap but it is nice to know that you can still buy a factory Seiko flat vent that is softer than the "normal" flat vent. I wore the DAL1BP for years and it was the most comfortable Seiko strap I owned.

Maybe mine is an actual Seiko then? It came with one of my watches bought used so I dont know. But it does have a vanilla smell so prob BC.

Seiko doesn't have that smell. So I think it is a BC strap
