The bracelet on my watch is not very good so I was wondering about replacing it with a better one. I know you can buy bracelets but what I want to know is if you can get them with the curved bit that covers the spring bars at the end and matches up with the curve of the watch (I've highlighted the bit I'm talking about below)? If yes, any recommendations of where to get a bracelet that looks just like that but better quality and with a better clasp?

You'd be better off fitting her to a Bond Nato strap imo.

Thanks, but I want a bracelet. Do you know about them?

Thanks, no results for my watch though.

I see now that you can buy bracelets with the curved ends, but they don't seem to specify that they're for any particular case size. Are they universal fit or do I need a particular type or size to fit flush against the case of my watch?

Cheers. The lug width is 18mm, so if I get an 18mm bracelet with curved ends, will those end pieces fit flush to my watch or are there lots of different shapes of 18mm end pieces?

Re. buying a different watch, if you know of any that look similar for about the same price but with a better bracelet and clasp, I'd be interested.

Typically Seiko tend to save money on the bracelets with their cheaper auto watches.

The watches are great, but the bracelets are a bit of a let down IME.

The one on my Monster is ok, but wouldn't fit that watch.
