Which Bracelet For The Willard? z199 or Lincoln?
I have it down to two bracelets from Uncle Seiko. I like the quirky z199, but I think the pressure clasp would be a sticking (pun intended) point. I could spend another $40 to get a push button clasp but that doesn't sit too well. Because of this I am edging towards the Lincoln. What do you think?
Which one do you think works best, does anyone have experience with either?

I'd have to vote for Lincoln! 😎
I know this isn’t a bracelet but I would put a waffle strap on it to mimic the original 6105 and give it that vintage look 👍🏻. That’s what I plan to do with mine 😁
But bracelet wise, I think you should go with Lincoln 👍🏻

Hi Liam, I was looking at that also. The issue for me is I am not generally a fan of rubber straps as they tend to stick and irritate me after a while. The one on my Willard is very comfortable, the main issue is the hardware sticks out slightly and can catch, sometimes the end of the strap comes out the keeper if taking of a coat. I love the look of it and getting more used to it, but I think the bracelet is inevitable or a suitable Erika's. Yours looks great! I am liking it so much I am even considering one of the ice Willards 😜

Thanks 👍🏻. Yes, of course, if the strap is irritable or uncomfortable it would be wise to avoid the rubber strap and go with a bracelet. Good luck finding a suitable strap/bracelet 👍🏻😁
Bonklip!!
Both are great quality bracelets. Personally, I am a fan of the Z199 and have never had a problem with the pressure clasp
in the 3 year I have had it. I appreciate the taper and comfort plus it looks good on all my Divers.

Wow thank you! You have reignited my interest in the z199, looks amazing in your pics! Waiting for the rubber waffle, but maybe should have pulled the trigger on the z199. The pressure clasp was my only concern with it.
