My GS bracelet prayers have been answered!
After hoping and dreaming for a more faceted, angular, and different bracelet option for the modern Grand Seiko 44GS Spring Drive I own - mostly through various photoshop studies of what would look better than the OEM bracelet - I discovered that Strapcode started making their Hexad bracelet for this watch, and what a great match it is!
Since it seems this model is a fairly new offering, I didn't see any reviews circulating on the internet, so I just took the chance and bought it. After receiving, installing, and sizing it, I'm happy to report that I am ecstatic about this bracelet and highly recommend it to anyone with this case on their Grand Seiko.
My next project is getting a new bracelet for my BlackBay 58 since the comfort of the folding clasp leaves a little more to be desired. For that one I ordered the President bracelet from Uncle Seiko. Stay tuned...

whoa, that is very cool. it looks similar in shape to the Prospex LX bracelet.
Awesome GS! Looking forward to your impressions of the Uncle Seiko bracelet for your BB58.

It was modeled after that design ethos. I think they adapted it from another offering they had for Samurai cases. So happy it works for this case as well.
Whoa!
I wonder if that's the only grand Seiko it would fit. Would be interesting if it fit the snowflake case given this also has quite long lugs.
That watch and bracelet is FFFFIIIIYYYYAAAA 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Congratulation! That feeling of finding the just-right bracelet!
Love it. Adds so much heft. Looks like it has a lot of Mirco adjustment too.
What size lug width did you have on your GS? I'm hoping they cater for the dreaded 19mm that most of the GS I like have.
That is a great look. How is the fit? It could just be the lighting, but it looks like there is a gap where the endlink meets the case.

This one has end links specific to the 44GS case. I think it’s the only aftermarket GS bracelet they make… for now.

It’s 19mm 🙌

No gap, that’s just the darkness of the Zaratsu polished case.
Great look and fit. I’ll need to check out if this will fit my GS GMT, micro-adjustments are a draw. Thanks!

Just posted my thoughts on the Uncle Seiko President bracelet for my Black Bay 58.
