This is my fifth Strapcode bracelet (1 Super Oyster, 1 Super Engineer, 2 mesh, and now this one), and, as always, I am content with my purchase.

The bracelet has overall good fit and finish, although I will point out that this is the first which does have some out-of-place machining marks here and there.  The brushed finish on one of the links appears a bit off, like it was lazily done.  And there is a notch mark - not an actual divot, but a blemish - on one end.  I had to observe the bracelet closely to reveal these issues, but they are not insubstantial.  Honestly, you're buying a $55 bracelet from China so you get what you pay for, but it's near OEM quality and definitely worth the savings.  You'd have to be very anally retentive for this to be a deal breaker, but I wouldn't blame you, either.

The clasp, as always, is cheap.  I tried to replace it with a genuine Seiko clasp but was despondent when I discovered that it is not compatible (one end of the Seiko clasp is affixed to the original bracelet with a pin rather than a spring bar - why does Seiko do annoying things like this?).  The clasp has three micro adjustments which allow you to get a good fit - the bracelet is very comfortable with three links removed and no micro adjustment on my 7" wrist, and the clasp is well-balanced on the bottom of my wrist.

The bracelet comes with fat spring bars, which is nice.  But be sure that the diameter of the fat spring bar ends will fit your watch lugs - they most likely will.  Unfortunately, my Seiko Premier makes use of strange spring bars that are skinny but have large diameter ends; thus, the fat spring bars included with the Strapcode bracelet are not compatible because they can work their way out of the slots they fit into.  The Strapcode bracelet ends are meant to work with fat spring bars, so anything smaller will cause the bracelet to wiggle around which is not ideal.  I will look for different spring bars from a local jeweler.  Most standard watches should have no problem, however, and this is Seiko's fault, not Strapcode's.

This time around, I had no problems removing the screw pins to resize the bracelet (I had issues with the Super Oyster and Super Engineer).  Refitting it was a breeze and, aside from the time I lost fiddling around with the clasp to no avail, I was done in a few minutes.
