MiLTAT 20mm Watch Band for Seiko Alpinist SARB017, Super-O Screw-Link

My first Amazon purchase. Very satisfied. My green Seiko Alpinist got a new, better look.

This is about as good as it gets when it comes to fitting the Sarb 017. The quality is there for sure with screw links, solid links and perfectly fitting end links as well as a milled clasp make this a winner. Only one major flaw. This bracelet is far too heavy and thick for the somewhat dainty, 39mm Alpinist. The clasp is also a humongous diver style clasp. It’s not comfortable. It’s like they took a massive dive bracelet and added end links custom for the Alpinist without any considerations or the design and weight of the Alpinist. For the price, it should fit well and feel good too. Also, the end links are male links at the case so it adds to the lug to lug substantially. Add that all up and this bracelet makes the Alpinist wear like a 43mm Seiko SKX while shrinking the dial size visually. It’s weird. Some may prefer that. I did not. Too bad. I wanted to like it.

The quality of this bracelet is excellent - in terms of both fit and finish. I placed it on my Seiko 'Baby Alpinist' (SPB159). I read a review indicating the clasp was rather large or not proportional to a 38mm size watch (Seiko Alpinist). This maybe true, but it's also a subjective preference. As for me, the clasp has a robust presence. Very satisfied with this purchase.

Bracelet is robust - I expected it and I like it. You can detach or add bracelet pieces using screw-driver - much better system then Seiko. Shipping fast, compatibility with Seiko green Alpinist SARB017 is perfect.

The title says it all. Takes the SARB017 and makes it a lot sportier. It is a bit costly, but quality is exceptional.
