Day 2! Would love any bracelet suggestions. I am watching ebay for OEM bracelets but it hard to find the right on.

That bracelet looks fine to me. What's the problem with it?

It looks fine from above. It’s not from Seiko, but from a cheap third party, so the quality is not exactly good, and it rattles quite alot. Also, it has bad adjustment options, so the clasp is more to the outside of my wrist which is just not comfortable!
So yes, it looks fine, but I want it to feel fine too.

Silly question but... have you asked Seiko? theseikoguy.com says the bracelet ref. is 44G3JB. Same as SKX025. An AD or parts supplier might be able to source one. It probably won't be cheap though.
My local watchmaker reshaped the end links on a 19mm Seiko bracelet for me. Now the bracelet fits my 38mm quartz diver perfectly. It looks nothing like the original, but I don't care. It's comfortable and it looks good. It depends how much of a purist you are I suppose.

No, I haven’t! I will do som searching and ask my AD. Thank you! That thought really went right over my head.
Try Namoki Mods. They carry most the the mods you could need for a Seiko.
