MiLTAT 20mm Watch Band for Seiko SKX013, Super-O 316L Stainless Steel Screw-Link

I got my Squale Y1545 submariner homage second hand, and it was missing original links. The bracelet was just a smidge too small so I went looking for an alternative.This bracelet was perfect. The quality was almost as good as the original (it feels slightly lighter and cheaper, but it may feel better once some of the sharp edges wear in), and the included solid end links fit well enough out of the box. However, it was similar enough that I could use my original end links for a perfect fit. I am very pleased with this fit, quality, and appearance. It was almost as if it was made specifically for my watch.

Put this on the Seiko SKX013 to replace the Jubilee band that came on the watch. This solid link SS band makes the watch pop. Love the clasp with deployment latch. The links remove with a screw rather than a friction pin. Much easier to work with and makes the band more secure on linking together. Band is comfortable to wear even when sleeping.

These are obviously very high quality bracelets. The fit and finish is excellent. With one exception.When I went to install this on my SKX013, the end pieces didn't fit between the lugs of my watch. They were just too wide, end to end. The flat ends of the pieces looked as though they had not been finished. A little rough.I'm not sure if anyone else has experienced this problem or not.Luckily for me I have some experience in metal working and so was used to procedures involving "dressing" precision metal parts. I had to dress the ends of the end pieces using a piece of 600 grit wet or dry SC sand paper laid on a piece of plate glass. A somewhat tricky operation as it is very easy to change the contours of a flat, or roll over the edges. If I hadn't been well-versed in this sort of thing, which I imagine most folks are not, this bracelet would have had to be returned. As it is, things turned out OK, and the bracelet now fits perfectly.*A brief edit. If the folks at Strapcode read this: The Seiko Dive watches SKX007 and 013, are designed to take the fat Seiko spring bars. The Seiko OEM fat spring bars are thicker, 2.5 mm, and have a wider tip, 1.1 mm as I remember, to fit in the slightly larger holes in the lugs of the SKX watches. If the bore through the solid end pieces on these fine bracelets was a bit wider, they would accept the stock OEM fat spring bars found on these watches. But the fat Seiko spring bars won't fit. If they did, it would provide a much more solid connection between the watch case and the end pieces. And more secure too. As it is, the end pieces move around a bit using the supplied spring bars.

Let me start by saying that I've purchased from Strapcode before, through Amazon. The prior purchase (Jubilee-style bracelet for SKX013) was excellent; good quality and without flaws, as expected.Purchased another watch and wanted to replace with a Super-O style bracelet. Purchased from Strapcode via Amazon again. Item arrived, but I did not have time to install, as I was busy caring for a sick relative. Installed item, and it felt and sounded cheap and 'tinny', no better than the generic bracelet that was already on my preowned watch. Looked at it and realized that end links WERE NOT SOLID, as shown in the item listing. See my picture.Contacted Strapcode who insisted that I contact Amazon, as they fulfilled the order for them. They claim Amazon shipped wrong item. I can't be sure whether this was simply an error, or if Strapcode is sending inferior products now.Amazon refused to accept return as I was outside the return window (30 days), which is true. Since Strapcode won't make good, the only way I have to know is to order from them again, which hardly seems right.Just be careful with what you receive from these people.

I've been wearing this on an skx013 for 2 months almost daily and I love it. A note, the screws in the end links closest to the watch are just ever so slightly longer than the others. You have to leave the end links closest to the watch in place because they're different than the ones closest to the clasp. Learned this the hard way but otherwise pleased. My only knock against it is that it comes with literally no instructions mentioning this, but I ultimately figured it out after some trial and error. Definitely a solid built product and a dramatic improvement over the band my watch came with. Worth the money.

It's good, really good, I love it. Makes my skx looks more simple, because I don't like jubilee bracelet looks too busy with small busy 013 dial wow make all looks complicated. The strap is comfortable and easy to adjust. The end links is solid steel. But the screws for the chains is too delicate, easy to get chipped. I suggest you to prepare a proper screwdriver before you do the adjustment.

Purchased for my 1995 seiko sports 50 watch. This band is extremely high quality and fit finish is excellent. However it won't fit my watch case. My error in ordering this model. I will have to return this and order a different style/model.

I am only giving it 4 stars because the screws on each watch link are impossible to remove and I had to go to a watch shop to remove them. That said it looks amazing now on my skx. My GF which think my skx is hideous even asked if I got a new watch Haha. That said, this bracelet is a huge upgrade and makes it look so much better. It is feels much more sturdy and the oyster style fits the watches personality much better than the jubilee style. All in all I am very happy with this product just wish it was easier to adjust the screws but it probably would be less sturdy if it was so I'm not sure I should be complaining.
