Seiko Monster Bracelet
Discussion
Just purchased the OEM steel bracelet for my red monster but it seems a little off.
The build quality is terrible, it weighs practically nothing and doesn't have solid links.
Essentially it is nothing like the great monster bracelet I have heard tales of with quality to match a Rolex bracelet etc.
Is there any way I can prove this before ranting at the seller?

I guess you won't be able to tell much from the picture. I'll try and find the original seller (Amazon) link.

The 20mm Watchadoo brushed bracelet is perfect for the Monster, make sure you get the fat springboard model.
They come from Australia, you can find them on ebay. Not the cheapest things, but you can use them as a towbar if your car breaks down, they're that tough.
I think the Anvil bracelets Yobokies sells are the same thing, not too sure though.
They're bloody heavy, bringing the whole weight of the watch to over 200g. All solid, no hollow money savings going on.

Tricky to tell by the photos but it does look like a Monster bracelet. You say that it has hollow links; that shouldn't be the case, every link should be solid single pieces of metal from what I remember, and they should be joined using a pin and collar system. Any chance of getting a few photos up of what you've received?

Thanks for all the input so far.
I've been doing a little reading and have discovered that the bracelet was updated a couple of years ago.
Old: 49X8 G-C
Current: 49X8 C-G Z
Initial reports from new Monster owners are indeed that it is lighter.
I guess the only thing I can do is look for the earlier model.
