New Watch Alert
This SRPE53 arrived today. The Seiko bracelet immediately came off and the Strapcode jubilee went on.
Next week, the double-domed sapphire crystal and the signed crown should arrive from namokimods to complete this mod.
I have to say that I am very pleased with this watch. Even with all the upgrades (i.e., bracelet, double-domed sapphire and signed crown, it still comes in well under $350.
And it has a blue dial… 🤪😀

Thanks. The Strapcode bracelet definitely takes it up a notch (or two 😀).
Congrats! Haha was just talking about Seiko bracelets and how bad they are. So I am not alone and that makes me feel so much better. Enjoy your new new watch. Nice one there!👍👍

Not only are you not alone, but you may be in the majority. Although I have changed the Seiko bracelet on this watch, as well as the Speedtimer and the King Turtle, I was pleased with the Seiko jubilee bracelet on the GMT SSK003 and the metal bracelet on a Seiko Recraft, only changing the stamped clasp to a milled clasp on the last two watches.
But the Strapcode bracelets, imo, are a better bracelet than most of the Seiko bracelets.
Nice! Just bought a 57 and will probably change the crystal to a domed sapphire as well. Please post once completed!
