It’s a great bracelet but I prefer the Z199 on my new and older Turtles

I have a z199 on an SKX009. Comfy, looks good.

Looks like a hair trap, is it?

My thought too

It looks cool though ... OP?

Not a hair trap at all. And I have a hairy wrist, as you will note in the top picture.
It is also super light weight. The only proviso is that I took it to a jewelry store to have links removed and I think it was a challenge for the experienced technician. There is a YouTube video on how to adjust it.

What I’d like to know is what tool do you fellas use to switch your bracelets and straps;
I’ve looked around for a “spring bar tool” but I’m told that they’re only really available through amazon.
Is there a tool specific to Seiko?

I have spring bar tools. I got them from Amazon. Others sell them like (Long) Island Watch. I am sure it is not rocket science and I should learn how to change straps and bracelets, but I confess that I take it to a jewelry store. The technicians have told me some of them (including this razor wire) were a bear to size.

It actually is not, surprisingly. It is a very comfortable to wear, despite how it’s look might suggest otherwise. I would recommend it. I just like how the tapered Z199 bracelets wear. I got tired of switch between watches that I just bought another.

For drilled lugged watches I use a push ping. For regular lugs i use a spring bar tool.

There is no specific tool for Seiko's.

Thank you! I’ll be checking Amazon shortly.

Thank you!
I have a handy jeweller near by , who has changed my bracelet to a strap, but I’d like to be able to interchange them at will; so it’s off to Amazon I go.

Ha! My thoughts exactly! I usually either go NATO or Jubilee/Z199.
