    Any recommendations on where to buy a metal bracelet strap for a Seiko diver or would a boardsie have one to sell? 22 mm I think.
    Thanks.

    Strapcode are quite popular for Seiko. Their prices have went up quite a bit recently though.

    Funny fecker ain't ya :D

    I would have to go with the Strapcode recommendation also but they are getting fairly expensive now especially if they have the ratchet clasp. Emo72 got most of mine before I left.

    Depending on the model Seiko has improved the quality of the stock bracelets, let me know what watch it's for and I will keep an eye out. The only spare I have at the moment is a stock Sumo bracelet but if I decide to sell it already has a home waiting in Ireland, emo claimed it before I left the country.

    Bought two Strap code bracelets in the last month. Both arrived within a week of ordering.

    You can get them from Amazon UK

    https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?k=seiko+turtle+bracelet

    Alternatively just wait until someone sells their stock bracelet on watchuseek or tz-uk

    Don't know what these are like but for £20 might be worth a try.

    If the seat's wet, sit on yer hat, a cool head is better than a wet ar5e.

    Did you happen to order one with the ratchet divers extension on the clasp?

    Another update. Got a lovely invoice from FedEx for 32 euro for customs etc.
    Thank god the watch is a keeper as I probably should have went with ànother brand of strap other than strapcode.

    Lesson learned

    I ordered from the US using addresspal.. cost 15.99 to use addresspal but package was so small obviously slipped by customs..took two weeks though but it was over Xmas and new year
