This watch band is SO worth the money!!  It totally changes the look of my Seiko Men's SKX173 Automatic Dive Urethane Strap Watch from sporty to a much more refined look.  I also bought one of the watch tools so I could replace the old band with the new one and make the size adjustments and it was easy to do.  I did have to bring it to a jewelers and have them remove one link because I couldn't figure out how to do that and I didn't want to screw it up.  Now that the band is at the adjustment I need, I can switch between the black band and this one is just a few moments.  I love everything about this band and how it makes my watch look!
