Question: Extending Bracelet/Clasp
I was recently gifted a Seiko Astron SBXB099! Unfortunately I have large wrists and it barely fits. Since it’s not the most popular model and made from titanium I’m having a hard time finding a solution. Any suggestions?

First, congrats on the huge wrists. Very jealous. Assuming you’ve already maxed out your micro adjustments too, then all you’re left with is aftermarket.
Ask an AD to order you another bracelet and use it to extend yours… it might cost you perhaps 300-400 maybe…
Find a longer replacement clasp?
You can check with a Seiko AD if they can order you extra links to fit your wrist.
You can get a steel strap that matches the dimension's and pin type to use one link of it to put on so it is hidden by the clasp as it folds over and covers that one. That or they cost over 300 bucks if you're lucky enough to find one.
The service centre may have some links, they used to be pretty good at helping out in the past. May be worth an email.
Have you looked in strapcode?
Such good tips 💪 There is always straps if all else fails 😊
Wow thanks for all the suggestions! I emailed strapcode and a few other aftermarket places with no luck. I’ll try the service center though! I did find a longer generic titanium clasp. Suspiciously it was only $15… I just ordered it so guess we’ll see lol
You can also try calling the Seiko service center in Mahwah, New Jersey. You will need the numbers off the back of your watch, they can look up the parts and supply them to you.

I'd put it on a good quality Nato, and be comfortable.
