I recommend you wait on getting a Sinn bracelet. I found out about Sinn's new quick adjust clasp and I would imagine they will release the same clasp for the 556 soon enough. IMO the original bracelet is worth it. (unless we're talking seiko... then it's a hard NO haha)

and the uncle bracelet you have pictured looks great!
Funny story, I had been waiting for a blue BB58 and when I got the call, I asked to see this black one, just to see them side by side before I made my final decision... and to this day I have no regrets! But one can't go wrong either way IMO
Have it and love it - not worth $1500 IMO but at $1k I think it'd be an awesome pick up.
The clasp is classic Seiko, aka disappointing.
I have swapped out the clasp for a generic 18mm clasp and enjoy it a lot more - but again, $1500 watch with a cheap unsigned clasp replacement is not what I thought I'd end up with.
For you gmt diver owners, I'm curious if you agree with me on this: the way Seiko designed the lugs on this watch, it looks weird on anything other than the original bracelet - it looks weird with a leather strap...
Own and love the Ranger also, and I also recommend getting it with the bracelet. I would go as far as saying it is silly not to get it on bracelet. Even if you hated it, you could sell it to bb58 folks for a premium.
