BRAND NEW - Seiko SUPER OYSTER 22mm BRACELET ( TYPE
IIa ) with custom SOLID END LINKS (SEL) for SEIKO
200m diver – SKX007 / 7S26 modern diver variant (see listing below to see
if this bracelet fits your watch)
Key Highlights
·
SOLID END LINKS (SEL) – the two curved end
links which attaches the bracelet to the watch head is made of one piece molded
SOLID 316L stainless steel to fit the SKX007 Seiko watch
o Inferior bracelets and even the original OEM bracelet had folded end links. SOLID END LINKS are found on mid and high end
watches (i.e. Newer Rolex Submariners). Example
- the other dive watch I have with SEL is my 300m SEIKO Marinemaster (which
retails for approx $2,700). Super Oyster Type lla Bracelet adds an instant
level of sophistication to your SEIKO divers watch !
·
BRACELET fits the Seiko OEM fat spring bars. These are heavy duty spring bars
made for serious 200m diving. The
bracelet was design and built to take the bars for professional divers (will
hold up to desk diving as well !!!)
·
MATERIAL & WEIGHT – 316L Stainless Steel
construction and weighs approx. 93 grams
(not a cheapo lightweight bracelet).
Great quality, construction, weight and well balanced
·
BRACELET LINKS – SOLID with SCREW links
o inferior bracelets have folded links and feel ‘tinny’ / light or cheap
o inferior bracelets have pin to hold links together. TYPE II has SCREWS for easy adjustment. Simply use a small flathead screwdriver. This design is also found in the Rolex
Submariner
·
SPORT CLASP – includes FREE upgrade to the SPORT CLASP ($49 VALUE !) – with 4-microadjustment holes, flip lock and side push buttons security
buttons.
**********************************************************************************************
*** SPECIAL NOTE - this auction INCLUDES SEL bracelet with 3-hole SPORT CLASP upgrade and tapers from 22mm to 18mm at CLASP
For longer 4 hole clasp, add $15
**********************************************************************************************
o Inferior bracelets and even the OEM bracelet does not have the side push
buttons which are often found on mid and high level watches
·
SIZE – fits upto 8.5 inch wrists. Extra bracelet links to lengthen bracelet also
available ($5 / link (with screw). Note:
SMALL bracelet sizes also available (please specify when ordering)
·
DESIGN / FINISH – brushed finish (top and bottom) with
polished sides which matches the finish of the watchhead. Bracelet blends and flows with the design of
the watch and looks original to the watch (see pictures).
Note: this auction (TYPE llc) includes the 18mm
SPORT CLASP (i.e. bracelet tapers from 22mm at ends to 18mm at the centre
(CLASP area)).
-
The TYPE IIa is similar to above, EXCEPT 22mm
to 20mm tapering at clasp (or 20mm CLASP see my other auction item)):
-
Both versions (20mm vs. 18mm clasp) are
equally popular, just a matter of personal preference. I have a small wrist and can wear both
versions comfortably !
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
This bracelet
was developed by SEIKO enthusiasts - to build a better watch bracelet similar
to mid and high end watches !
Previously only available on the internet watch forums for SEIKO
enthusiasts, now finally available here on ebay for all to enjoy !!!
“…best bracelet available for you SEIKO 200m divers
(i.e. SKX007…) period !”
*** EXCLUSIVE OFFERING – not available anywhere
else !!! ( LIMITED QUANTITIES), There
are inferior bracelets, this is the original !!! ***
· Upgrade your classic Seiko 200m diver with a NEW solid quality
316L stainless steel oyster bracelet
· Replace your old / used Z-22 / GL-831 rubber strap / leather / metal band
· Add a sophisticated look to your Seiko diver (for a fraction
of the price of a new watch !). I get more comments on my SEIKO divers
watches with bracelets then my Rolex Submariner !!!
· Accessorize your watch (and yourself) - rubber strap is
for weekends, bracelet is for the office / social events
BONUS - includes TWO SEIKO fat / heavy duty spring bars ($8 VALUE FREE !!!) - (spring bar size: 24mm x 2.50mm x 1.1mm) to fit
your 22mm professional divers watch
TIP – check and replace your spring bars every few years as even SEIKO OEM stainless steel spring bars are known to show wear and rust with time and use. Salt and water causes the spring bars to rust and seize and makes it difficult for maintenance / strap removal !!!
Spring bar and screwdriver also available here:

Seiko Super Oyster Bracelet Review (By Ross On September 4, 2011
Intro
Are you looking for a
high quality oyster bracelet for your favorite Seiko diver? You have come to
the right place. This review covers William Jean’s super oyster bracelet.
This bracelet is clearly marketed to a Seiko audience, but can be ordered with
a straight end piece and then would fit most other watches.
Size
The pictured bracelet is
22mm at the ends, tapering to 20mm at the clasp. William Jean also offers this
bracelet is 20mm with no taper, and 18mm. He also offers a 22mm size that
tapers to 18mm. I highly recommend either the 22mm tapering to 20mm or the 20mm
no taper versions. The links are 3.30mm thick.
Fit and Finish
The materials are clearly
superior to other after-market bracelets of this type. The bracelet is brushed
everywhere except the sides. It uses screws to secure the removable links. The
screws are very smooth and none were stripped and they held up very well to
resizing and stress. The clasp is a Seiko clasp copy that feels as smooth if
not smoother than the OEM Seiko clasp. William Jean offers the clasp in 2 or 4
hole micro-adjust version. This version is the 4 hole microadjust version and
is very easy to adjust. There is no diver’s extension. The clasp is a fold over
push button with safety lock. The end links are solid, but cut so they fit the
Seiko divers’ cases. William Jean can provide end links for most, if not all,
of the Seiko divers.
Comfort
Wow, this guy is
comfortable! The micro adjust allows for a very precise fit. The links are
standard oyster style, being a bit longer makes them less flexible overall, but
this shouldn’t be an issue for most and is simply a style preference than a
comfort concern. I highly recommend this bracelet. It is designed for comfort
and quality and performs both perfectly.

*** EXCLUSIVE OFFERING with LIMITED QUANTITIES !!!
***
*** Super Oyster bracelet
(Type II) also available in 22mm STRAIGHT END configuration (which takes
SEIKO fat / heavy spring bars). Great for your SEIKO PROSPEX tunas !!! –
see other auction items
*** Warning - there are cheapo & inferior DIVERS bracelet options
available for your SKX007, but buyer beware – do your research and don’t get
stuck with a cheapo version and the nightmare of cheapo / inferior bracelets,
bent spring bars, broken bracelets and dropped watches. Don’t put your classic
SEIKO 200m cushion on a cheapo bracelet – do your homework ***
Research and Development - NEW improved Super
Oyster ( Type II ) was researched and developed (R&D) by Watch savants
(WIS) / Seiko watch fans & enthusiasts from all over the world. We all
wanted a quality bracelet option for our classic SEIKO 200m divers and the
SEIKO Super Oyster (Type II) is the combination of R&D and feedback from many
SEIKO enthusiasts around the world.
Note: SEIKO company
finally took notice of the demand for a stainless steel bracelet option for
their divers. They released its new SEIKO Tuna Prospex diver (SBBN015) in 2009
for the first time (+30 years) with a metal stainless steel bracelet. Seiko
enthusiasts have been enjoying this look of Tuna with stainless steel bracelet
for years.
New SEIKO Tuna bracelets

Customer Comments
…I just got the bracelet
and installed it on my watch: beautiful! Thanks! MS
…the bracelet received
today and I already fixed on the watch, all perfect, thanks for all. Best
regards TM
…I can't thank you
enough! Your bracelet has turned my old Seiko diver into a wearable ADULT
watch... finally, no more rubber straps. Wow, it fits so snugly on the case.
I'm so glad I didn't end up buying the jubilee bracelet available from another
seller on eBay; those solid links look so good with that case. What a great
deal! It's been a pleasure doing business with you, and 5-Star Positive Feedback
has been left. Thank you very much, B
...Got it! And I love it!
