First Impressions: Strapcode Super-O Boyer Bracelet with Diver's Extension Clasp.
Package was just delivered, and the bracelet was just sized for my 5KX. I bought this at $100 CAD, it has since gone up in price. The clasp alone sells for $80 locally so I thought it was good value to get it on the bracelet I wanted.
The bracelet quality is very nice, the clasp could use some improvement.
Bracelet:
Very nice brushed finishing.
Screw pins were all secure, easy to size.
Tapers down nicely from 22 to 18mm.
Solid endlinks look very good.
Included spring bars are very high quality.
Nice weight, no more Jingle Jangle Seiko rattle.
Divers Extension Clasp:
Milled and decorated which is nice.
Divers Extension works very well. Pull back to lengthen, push in to shorten.
The actual clasp is not nice at all to open and close. You have to push each deployment button quite firm to open and close smoothly. I think some tolerances might be off on mine & I hope it gets smoother with more use.
It is very bulky & THICC.
I fear I may catch the end of this clasp on things.
(I also saw from another recent post that the screws came loose on this exact bracelet. I'm going to keep an eye on that or add some blue Lock-Tite.)
Altogether I am happy with this purchase and like the function of the extension clasp, I just wish it were executed nicer.
Dammit Jody & Erebus / Zelos!!! Sell me just the clasp please.
PS. Beware of this spring-bar tool from Strapcode. It broke right when removing my old bracelet. I am quite careful, it just snapped when pressed into the drilled lugs. Maybe a defective tool?
I will reach out to them and see how they want to proceed.
I like affordable & unique watches.
I use Strapcode bracelets on a lot of my watches. Like you I bought the diver clasp. I agree on all points, Now I use a Seiko Marinmaster ratchet diver clasp on most of my Strapcode bracelets. I Highly recommend the combo
