Description

This bracelet is not produced by Seiko, it is made by Miltat and is also sold on www.strapcode.com and taikonaut-time.com. The name there is Super-O Boyer.

The Super Solid Oyster bracelet is one of the most popular bracelets. It has solid links and comes standard with a neutral double-lock clasp that is very strong and solid. It is one of the most used after market bracelets for the SKX007. This bracelet is made for the SEiko-Sports with the SKX007 shaped case and 20mm lugs, 40mm wide.

The (recently improved, “3D”) end pieces are massive pieces of steel, attached with thick push pins (with collars for removal, not really needed because of the drilled lugs) to the watch case. Lug width is 20mm, and because of that they are solid steel, only suitable for the Seiko Sports -SKX-shape, fixed bezel- case with 20mm lugs (4R36-08L0 on the case back).

AFTER SOME TESTING: I can say this bracelet also fits on the small SRPK-SKX-Sports! SRPK29, 31, 33 and 35!

 

The links are also made of solid steel, attached with small screws, a small 14mm screwdriver is perfect for these screws. I advice to use some loc tite or something similar to keep the screws from unscrewing while you are wearing the watch.

Some models of the SRPE-Sports already have a solid Oyster. A very nice bracelet, with a few differences:

Seiko Miltat
Links Solid with split pens solid with screws
Thickness 3.3mm 3mm
clasp 18mm wide, 2 adjustment holes 18mm, options possible
Taper 20mm at the lugs, 18mm at the clasp 20mm at the lugs, 18mm at the clasp
End piece folded steel, standard push pin massive steel, thick push pin
Middle 11mm wide section 9mm wide section
Attached to case middle section goes into end-piece middle section sticks out of end-piece

The pictures show a matt middle row on the original bracelet, this is because I did not see the protective plastic on it.
Because the bracelet is attached to the middle section that sticks out of the end-piece, the lug-to-lug distance is a little bit more. But since they point a bit downwards, it is not a big thing.

Install tip:
First remove the push pins and press the end piece through the lugs a few times.
This removes some possible left over steel from drilling the holes in the lugs.

 

You can choose between a few types of clasps:
