Where can one buy quality bracelets?

Hi, affordable waches come often with very cheap bracelets. I want to elevate my orient watches by combining them with quality bracelets but dont know where to buy. Does someone know shops who sell such bracelets? Thanks :)

What models are you looking for?

For example, Uncle Seiko and Strap code make excellent Omega and Seiko bracelets, with actual solid end links.

Long Island Watches does for Seiko and Orients.

A lot of the other affordable brands you will more than likely have to google straight end link bracelets. Which isn't a bad thing. A good straight end shark mesh always looks classy.

Thanks, like I said I am looking for Bracelets for my orients. Long Island watches ships from the u.s. what means import taxes. I will look into that thanks.

I looked on Long Island watches. first they only offer bracelets for orient divers. second I don't think 59 dollar is the kind of quality I mean. I don't believe 59 dollar is in any way better than the bracelet the watch comes with. What I want is a high quality bracelet, they dont need to be specifically for a brand. It just has to have the right lug width am I right?

I have bought 3 bracelets from Long Island Watches. I have found them to be of high quality and very comfortable.

These guys have several. I wear them on my Orient Ray-2 and Kamasu. Suggest getting the smaller buckles, though as the longer buckles sometimes don’t lay down as well as the could…IMHO. Really good quality bracelets though.

This bracelet is the “beads if rice.”

Ok Forster looks great so far and you pay the taxes by checkout. that's good. The finish on the Forster bracelets looks better.

"I don't believe 59 dollar is in any way better than the bracelet the watch comes with."

Be careful of getting sucked into the belief that more $$$ means more quality. Sometimes it does...and sometimes it doesn't.

I just look the pictures on the website and i dont see a difference to the bracelets i own. What i want to say is with more quality i dont mean a bracelet that doesnt fall off in pieces after a few times wearing. With more qualty i mean less flimsy, higher grade of finish and polish and a higher grade of metal quality. More solid metal less hollow. Think on a bracelet that comes with a 1000 dollar watch.
