Seiko SNKL23 with an Oyster Bracelet
Edited: See end of post…
I finally discovered an oyster-style bracelet that fits my SNKL23 long lug. It was difficult to find one since most of the Seiko 5 have a shorter lugs I believe, and you would noticeably see the gap between the end link and case.
I’m happy that it integrates with the watch without any noticeable gaps, although it's slightly shorter in height than the OEM curve end link. However, this minor difference is hardly noticeable unless closely examined.
I appreciate the brushed finish throughout the bracelet, instead being polish in the center, which reduces the likelihood of scratches and gives the watch a more understated look.
Overall, the bracelet feels premium considering its $27 price tag, with a satisfying weight to it. Also the polished of the sides and butterfly clasp add a touch of that premium. I particularly like that the links are connected by screws rather than pins. My only issue is with the clasp; it seems like it should have micro-adjustment capabilities, but I haven't found a way to adjust it yet.
For everyday wear, I prefer this bracelet over the jubilee-style ones that I have, as it feels a bit too dressy. Nonetheless, I still appreciate the jubilee design and may switch between the two occasionally.
Here is the link to bracelet. I bought it on eBay.
Edited: I found out how to adjust the bracelet and it really became a great value oyster bracelet on top of being hard to find one that fit this watch. The bracelet have a quick micro adjustment of half a link, where you can extend. Once extended, you can see the pin to adjust the bracelet for additional static micro adjustment up to 3 times.
Newbie, I got the watch bug xD …trying to be good and not trying to buy every affordable watch I like and save for a good one, like a grand Seiko, Omega, or Tudor…most likely a grand Seiko with spring...
Perfect pairing! 👏
Do you happen to have a link for this bracelet? I'm also looking to buy an oyster style for my SNK361 with the same case because the jubilee is too blingy for my taste. Thanks!
So weird, I'm seeing this post 5 minutes after thinking about doing the same for mine.

I don’t think it will fit the SNK361, lug seems to be shorter

If you need a link, let me know.

Yes please

I think you are correct. Although the case looks very similar, the lug to lug distance of the two models appears to be different so it might not be a good fit.
That's a bummer because I've been looking for a 18mm oyster-style bracelet like this with a Rolex-like clasp. 😢
Yes please

Yeah it does, do got that Rolex vibe to this. There actually a couple of oyster bracelet that would fit your watch. You can find it on Amazon, if you don’t like, easy return. Else you buy both, you would have the end link that fit your from Amazon and then you just use the bracelet from the other one :)
