Uncle Seiko 41 1/2 Link

Just received my 1/2 links from Uncle Seiko for my Tudor GMT. It came with four screw pins but none of them are threading into the US links. I made sure not to try the OEM pin in the US links or vice versa. Anyone else have the same issue? Emailed Uncle and just waiting for his response. Wondering if he packaged the wrong screw pins…

No issues with my US 1/2 links for my BB58. Those fit like they should.

Got the screws to work after all. Just needed a little elbow grease per Uncle Seiko. Not my experience with his 1/2 link for my BB58, but all is well now!

Wish they made this half link in non Rivet as well for the ETA variants. But I guess it’s not a big deal since most of it is obscured by the clasp

You could probably have it shaved off TBH.

I’ll see how it fits when it arrives. If the rivets cause an issue, the belt sander will rectify it

You'll never notice it in "real life." But you'll always know it's there. Whether that bothers you or not...

Glad to hear it's resolved. Just got mine in and am going to do a little re-adjusting this morning.

It worked really well. Replaced a full link with the half and moved the adjustment in the clasp out one notch. Fits much better.

However, I did end up using the screws that came with the watch, not the ones provided by US. I don't know if it was my clumsiness or what, but the provided screws did not feel right.

So I'm not the only one. Good to know the OEM screws fit. I thought I read somewhere that they had a different pitch.
