Davesjourney 27 Posted October 13, 2017 So - managed to grab myself one of these beauties today and was wondering what you lovely folk have done for replacement straps? I'd love one of the Angus Jubilee ones from Strapcode.com but they're all sold out and looks like no longer an option. Have read these: https://strapcode.wordpress.com/2017/07/20/share-the-curved-endlink-bracelet-between-two-watches/ http://forum.tz-uk.com/showthread.php?305081-Seiko-SARB017-Alpinist-bracelet-options Any more ideas for some sort of really nice SS bracelet? Cheers all! Dave Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Khronos 1,339 Posted October 16, 2017 @Davesjourney I haven't actually mounted any of these on my Alpinist, because I'm not sure if I'll keep the watch and didn't want to scratch the lugs ( I haven't even tried it on my wrist, not once, bloody OCD...). But it gives you an idea of what different colors of leather look like on it. MDK straps Morellato strap Hirsch Camel grain Hirsch Earth Darlena strap Strapcode Jubilee will be available very soon, I talked to them and they confirmed it.

Khronos 1,339 Posted October 17, 2017 13 hours ago, Davesjourney said: Really!? That's fab news!! Yeah. I contacted them and they are actually very friendly and they really put a lot of effort in answering questions. They even agreed to lower the value of the parcel, so I don't get stung by customs fees and VAT ( 22% VAT plus 16€ flat for their "services"). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Khronos 1,339 Posted October 17, 2017 Oh, I couldn't figure out the difference between the chamfer and the V-clasp and the nice lady replied that the chamfer version is more substantial. So I think the V-clasp is the way to go. Not a cheap bracelet, but I think it looks and feels way better than the OEM Seiko bracelet, which is not available for less than a hundred $.

Davesjourney 27 Posted October 17, 2017 Top work, my friend!! I'll check the page daily now!! Thanks for the responses Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Khronos 1,339 Posted October 17, 2017 You're welcome, glad I could help This watch really got me excited and very busy lately, I've read the entire thread on WUS, tried many many straps, contacted Strapcode about the bracelet, ordered extra straps, but haven't even worn it once I like to look at the damn thing, but simply don't see myself wearing a 38mm green dialled watch with gold indices..I can't convince myself to sell it either, so I think I have to order a 100$ bracelet first and THEN sell it with a substantial loss. Business as usual.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Foxindebox 462 Posted November 2, 2017 I have just ordered an Angus Jubilee as well. I love the brushed/polished contrast, suits the watch perfectly! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Davesjourney 27 Posted November 7, 2017 The Angus Jubilee has literally just arrived from Strapcode - and what a gorgeous strap for the Aplinist it is!! Built like a tank with, in my eyes, quality engineering and finish. It's straight onto the Sarb017 and is now my #1 watch!! Kronos - they were super helpful and did exactly what you describe to the package. Yummy. Super happy with this! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
