Need help on alternative bracelet

Hey there, i believe those folks can help me there!

I'm looking for a bracelet (not strait end!) that will fit properly to my SPB245J1. The new alpinist reinterpration series. Original fitting one is this:

Seiko Bracelet for New Alpinist 19mm - Ref. M11A111J0

But as you can see it is pretty expensive. 

It is compatible with all the watches in the serie

SPB241J1, SPB243J1, SPB259J1, SPB249J1, SPB289J1 and including my SPB245J1 (I'm 100% sure about it don't worry since i had one of them previously as well and was using that one's bracelet)

Unfotunately i couldn't find anything except this original one and unclueseiko doesn't have any option for this awesome watch, what a shame!

Any ideas? Currently i'm using a strapcode jub ii bracelet but it doesn't look how i like, strait end is not fitting great on this watch.

So please help :)

I totally understand the straight end links. I like my bracelets fitted to the case. All I can suggest is this one site. Check it out and see what you can find. Good luck!

Cheers!

I guess there is no such thing for this one, it is pretty short and curved. An old seiko 5 19mm didn't fit anyhow for example.

I have leather straps but for swimming etc. they are not suitable :) And I don't really like nato and rubber straps at all :) I'm so addictive to 316L bracelets :)

I've grabbed it from the text file but unfortunately no option I can use here :(

May i find sth related with the 111 text on the back of the end links? is it a code that tells that can fit to these watches?

I would go top of the line leather Brown nato with that watch, but i live in the mountains.

Actually it would be the best option for this one and I'm strongly thinking to buy one. However I love to wear my watches almost for all cases, and still feel like I desperately need a fitting bracelet too. But for now i'll postpone it at least till summer :)

How goes your search?

I haven't been able to find anything either , best i could do was a clasp from Uncle Seiko so I could get 3 micro adjust out of the clasp , that's about it , if anyone finds anything please let me know .

unfortunately no progress, i keep looking all around, only thing i've found is sth from ebay which might be authentic but cheaper than retailer prices. The original bracelet i mean.
