Back to the still very new to me SBGN003 today - only now on it's steel bracelet for the first time. It's always amazing to me what a transformation end links have on a watch head. I hadn't bothered with the bracelet yet, previously choosing an Erica's Original as my go-to, which, would still be my preference were I to take this along on travels as my "one watch". I find the Marine National straps super comfortable for everything from swimming to sleeping and beyond ... but yeah, this bracelet really does transform the watch - and I think shows it's true 39mm sizing on-wrist in a way that straps don't. So much so I'm wondering if anyone makes custom straps made in different materials: nylon, rubber, leather, etc. that utilize solid end links? I know Uncle Straps (formerly Uncle Seiko doesn't) but damn .... it would be cool, IMHO.
Stumble your post in my search. Also looking for an aftermarket strap. Ideally something with more tapering. (19-16mm)
Any luck?
