High Quality and Excellent Value
I last purchased a Strapcode bracelet some years back for a Seiko Alpinist. This time I was seeking a bracelet for my Christopher Ward C65 Sandhurst, so I had to go with the straight endlink Boyer O model. The quality remains very high, and Strapcode value is unsurpassed. Fitted end links are nice, but are not available for every watch. I think the straight endlinks provide a nice vintage look to this watch, and the price is unbeatable.Some fitting hints with these bracelets: a) use a good properly sized jeweler's screwdriver, b) leave the protective plastic on or use tape to mask the steel when removing and installing screws to size to avoid scratches, c) once sized add a tiny drop of blue (removable) loctite to the screw threads holding each link.My last Strapcode bracelet lasted for years; I expect this one to do the same.

Better Than Expected
I purchased this watch band for a 38 mm Seiko dive watch which came with a black cloth watch band (which I thought made the watch somewhat "formal" looking and not a "work watch" like I wanted). I was concerned that this new watch band had (1) no curved end links to mate up with my new watch and (2) did not have a tapered band strap. Neither ended up being an issue for me. Even with the straight end links, the band fits nicely to the watch - actually makes it more rugged looking to me. And the non-taper of the band also seems to make it more rugged looking. The band adjusted easily with the screw-type pins - I removed two links to fit my 7" wrist. The brushed finish matches the watch perfectly and should help to hide scratches in the future. Overall I am very pleased with this purchase.

Nice bracelet.
Nice quality bracelet. Not the best I've owned, but a good option for my Precista PRS-82 Royal Navy.Very easy to size, with quality screws that go in and out with ease. The brushed finish is even and silky fine. The claps is opens and closes with authority and succeeds in form and function. I wish it was a tad thicker, but perhaps that's asking for too much for this price. Recommended.

Good quality
Quality watch band that looks good. Much sturdier than most others. It's a little heavier than most bands but it's an acceptable tradeoff for strength. I like that it is designed for and comes with the larger Seiko style connecting pins (so many others use wimpy pins) . Easily changed bands and adjusted links without any special watch tools, all I needed was one of the tiny screw drivers. I would buy it again.

Great watch band worth every penny!
This is the best watch band. Previously the local jeweler I bought my Hamilton Intra-matic automatic watch from replaced the leather band the watch came with and put a Hadley-Roma band on it. That band was so cheap-looking and it fell off within an hour of when I got home. I was so disappointed. I ordered this watch band after a lot of comparison shopping and even though it is not gold like the watch is, you could not find a better band unless you bought a thousand dollar watch along with it. I bought the loc-tite in stick form as recommended by other reviewers and used it when I sized the band - which was very easy to do - and a $5 tool to remove and re-attach the pins, unscrew and size it. I am very happy with this watch band and I highly recommend it. It will make any watch look expensive and classy.

Nice aftermarket bracelet.
This is a nice, solid bracelet to replace the stock bracelet. I lost the collars for the pins used in the original bracelet and replaced it with this much easier to adjust bracelet. This one is well-finished and heavier than the stock bracelet. Not as nice as a Rolex oyster bracelet, nor should it be for the very reasonable price. I have not had any trouble with the screws coming loose, as have some other reviewers. Need a small jewelers screw driver and a small pin or mechanical pencil with a longer tip to work with the spring bars. These tools are cheap and useful for many other uses and should be in any persons tool kit. Saves you time and money by not needing to have somebody else adjust the band for you.

The clasp fell apart after 1 month of normal wear
The clasp fell apart after 1 month of normal wear. Very disappointed, especially since the return window just closed. Felt very high quality, but I guess not
