SS Oyster Solid Link 18mm Curved Ends Watch Band

This bracelet is the best bracelet under $20 I've owned.Pros:1. Solid link. This is not cheap folded-metal bracelet that feel gimmicky. There are screws and the links feel very solid and sturdy.2. Great design. It looks a lot like the Rolex Oyster and has a nice brushed finish3. Value. I don't think I'll find a better bracelet at even $30.Cons:1. The end pieces don't fit my watch well. Unless you get the OEM bracelet or get lucky, you'll have some space between the curved end piece and the actual watch. Again, this is a $20 bracelet. If I'm spending $50 or more it would be a major issue, but this is just a minor issue. I have a 39mm timex watch, and the curvature on the curved piece is too much. There is a little crescent-shaped gap between the strap and the watch.2. I had to use a plier to make the end pieces fit my watch better. Before, i couldnt' even put the spring bars in place because they were so tight, but if you have a plier, then the pieces are pretty bendable (and I don't even lift, bro).3. The clasp was a bit cheap. One of the rods holding it together fell out. Fortunately I was in the house, so I found it, but I replaced it with a 16mm spring bar I had from a previous watch. Such a letdown given the solid links.All in all, I couldn't expect more from a $20 bracelet. Of the under-$35 bracelet i've had (around 3-5), this is the best I've had.5/5

The media could not be loaded.  Just received it earlier today, and here are my two cents on the product.Pros:1. Brushed finish on the bracelet is very nice.2. Bracelet does not feel cheap and does not rattle compared to another similar product I bought.3. Clasp feels secure.Cons:1. Bars in the links are screw-in, not push out. Had an issue with one bar just rotating in its position when I tried to unscrew, and the 2 bars on either side of the clasp were very hard to unscrew.2. When I was putting the links back together, one of the screws couldn’t go past a certain length in the link. I took 2 pictures of that for your reference. One is the screw protruding out as I was unable to fully screw it in, while the other picture shows that the screw can’t get into the hole at the other end.3. The link connected to the clasp is held together by a spring bar. I realised that one side of the spring bar fit the hole with an audible click and it didn’t budge, but the other side had no such sound to indicate that it was snugly in the hole. Refer to the video attached for a demo of the link coming off.Also, for those who are going to buy: this bracelet has curved ends, but it doesn’t fully reach the case of my invicta as it isn’t ‘tall’ enough. I measured it, the invicta diver requires approx. 100mm, while this is approx. 70mm.

Good solid-link band for $20. Easy to remove links by taking out screws. Not for Seiko 5 model SNKL23 because the hollow ends are about 2.5mm too short to reach the case. This would almost be acceptable if it didn't move around.I suggest you measure the length of your lugs. If they are about 7.0mm then buy. If they are 9.5mm, then do NOT buy.Single click closure might not be secure enough for some. If the band would have fit, I'd be happy with it.Good luck,-Chris

For the price it is a good deal. Well made, with a solid feel. It comes with 2 pins. I found the curved ends a bit snug to connect to my Croton watch, but with some effort it went together and feels secure. I have limited faith in the clasp. I feel over time it may wear, and not snap well. But time will tell. Overall I am pleased.

This is a piece of junk! Save yourself the time, heartbreak, and headache and spend those few extra bucks on something more durable.I recently purchased an Invicta that resembles the Rolex submariner. As many of you are aware, the bracelets on the Invictas are not durable either so I figured I would use this band to replace it. Keep in mind I have the 8932ob Quartz which is smaller and requires a 18mm band which is what I ordered.When the blissful day came, I saw it did not fit! I checked the packaging and it was labeled 18mm but still did not fit. My mistake in this endeavor is that I attempted to "modify" the band as opposed to going through the hassle of sending it back.The reviews of how the pins pop out etc. are true as I experienced the same hassle. The band being light, flimsy, etc are true to form.In summation, you get what you pay for.

I purchased a used and working Seiko 5 automatic, but the wrist band was the original cheap pressed steel junk which was also worn, sloppy, and damaged. I used a caliper to measure the correct width and found this one. It looks awesome, has a quality feel and weight, and it fits perfectly. it is very adjustable with both removable links and a press-pin butterfly clasp. All at a price that out-competes the cheaper quality bands at the local mart store. A great deal!

Unlike most $20 bands this one has solid links. If you've never seen the others, they are composed of flat metal bent into a shape that resembles a sold round link.... some of them are even open in the back (toward your wrist). Not only do they look flimsy, they are very light weight.This one is solid and weighty and complements a nice watch.

Fits great on my Timex round watch. The band is made well with solid links. Easy open-close.Remove the links with a very small driver but don't lose them. Easy to remove and put back in. I am very happy with my new watch band
