Looking for Seiko Speedtimer QUICK RELEASE Bracelet

Thanks Jesse. But it does not seem to have a quick release. 🤔 or can I order a pair of quick release spring bars somewhere?

It's the only one I know of with the correct end links for the SSC. Anything with QR pins will be a straight end bracelet. If the QR's are that important any bracelet with them will work. Just find one you like.

Thanks for that. Strapcode has a variety of bracelets with the correct ending for a speedtimer, Unfortunately none of them are quickly release. And I don’t know if they would work just by swaping the spring bars 🤷🏾‍♂️.

Spring bars are spring bars, nothing fancy about them. As long as they are the correct size they will work with any strap or bracelet.

I just noticed that the gap in a QR bracelet (as shown in the 2nd picture above -In order for the little knob to move back-and-forth- ) It’s a little longer than the one in the link you sent me. Do you really think I can just put a pair of QR spring bars in that beautiful rice bracelet?

No, I'm sorry I missed understood. A strap or bracelet needs to have been made with the QR spring bars. You can't add them to any old bracelet.

That’s what I was afraid of thanks for your help and time anyways

Can't go wrong with Strap code. I have had good experience with their bracelets

Yeah but unfortunately, none of their speedtimer bracelets have integrated quick release spring bars😕

Put it on a beads of rice bracelet.

Unfortunately no quick release there

Given the strap monster this watch is, I would stick to the OEM bracelet, get a bracelet removal tool for less than $10 in Amazon (https://a.co/d/5lNnXVQ), then spend the rest in a couple of nice leather bands. If the OEM bracelet doesn't allow for a good fit, Uncle Seiko sells half links for it too.

This one is my favorite strap btw, for $19: Ritche Quick Release Leather Strap 20mm https://a.co/d/5Pox2WI

I replaced my Speedtimer bracelet with an Uncle Straps Jubilee style because the factory bracelet lacked half links OR micro adjust in the clasp which is a big 👎🏼 for me, very happy with the replacement which is much easier to size the links and has multiple micro adjust points

There's a tutorial on YouTube where you can use old straps and install individual QR spring bars. It's pretty easy and cool.

That's cool. Thanks for sharing.

I bought a stainless steel spring bar pliers in AliExpress for $4.95 CDN. Within 10 seconds you can change up your bracelet/straps.

All the quick release bracelets will have that gap and won’t have that flushed look that traditional bracelets have. Strapsco have quick release bracelets though

That’s exactly what I’m looking for. Do you have hold of that link?

Yes they do but just standard straight endlinks what I’m wishing for are Speedtimer end links with QRs spring bars. 🤓
