Recommendations for BOR bracelets for the Retrograph
I've been looking to purchase a beads of rice bracelet for my Brew Oxford Retrograpgh. I was about to pull the trigger on the Zulu Diver BOR from Watch Gecko but before doing so I wanted to dig a little deeper and compare BOR bracelets from other sites. I've checked out Watch Gecko, Strapcode, and Uncle Seiko so far. I then had the idea that I should also check in with my fellow watch zealots to see what their thoughts were.
Does anyone have any strong recommendations on what they think is a good quality BOR bracelet and where it should be purchased?
FYI, the photo above comes from a reviewer's site about the Oxford Retrograph and he just happened to post a pic of the watch on a BOR from Watch Gecko.
Welcome to my WatchCrunch profile.
I have an Uncle Seiko beads of rice and it is ok for my Hamilton khaki field, but it is kind of cheap. I also have several Strapcode bracelets and they are much higher quality. They have a straight end link BOR that I suggest you check out. For that watch, I’d go there before Uncle Seiko.

Thanks for the insight @SeahawkOG. I just recently found out about uncle seiko. I guess my choices are back to gecko or strapcode!
First off, sharp watch! Very 👌🏻.
Forstner? Don't know if they have a straight end beads of rice but with that classy dial the Komfit or Military thin as a dime would go pretty well.
Where's the Retrograde in the Brew pictured above?

@solidyetti excellent suggestion, I’ll check it out. Thanks!
I bought this off eBay and it’s the exact same bracelet as the uncle Seiko

@deathonthestairs wow, that’s a great deal. How’s the quality of the bracelet?

I find no difference between this and the strap code. That’s what I meant to say. Not uncle seiko. But I believe it’s the exact same as the strap code
First off, great looking watch. 👍
The BOR really takes it up a notch too.
I have the BoR from Strapcode and I’m quite pleased with the finish as well as the milled-clasp with 6 micro adjustments.

Thanks @Johnniegold! The BoR looks fantastic on your seiko.
Sorry for the late reply. I was just at the Brew website. 🤪😀
Cool watch, I would wear this. What’s the model?
