“This bracelet is beautiful, but a little finicky to attach with the supplied spring bars.
Initially, I wasn’t able to get one side to fit in the watch lugs with positive spring bar engagement. The other side wouldn’t fit at all. I’m not experienced with bracelet fitment at all so I reached out to LIW and they suggested using thinner spring bars, which they sent out to me right away.
Problem solved! Overall, it’s a beautiful piece and very well made. I’m hoping the clasp becomes a little easier to close as it breaks in. Right now it’s a little stiff.
Even though the bracelet only gets 4 stars, Marc and his team are a 5 star organization all the way. Their customer service is top notch and I’m confident that they will do what ever it takes to make things right if needed.”
“Fit my SBDC055 perfectly. Aligns + locks onto the notches in the case with no play or gaps. Buckle is very secure. Screw pins are a huge improvement over the pin-and-collar that Seiko uses. Clearances are very tight, so spring bars had to be eased into the lug holes. Very high quality, probably on par with the bracelet on my Grand Seiko SBGH201.”
“While the build quality of the bracelet was good and I love the milled clasp, I am a little perturbed that in order to snap shut the clasp, I have to, with my thumb and forefinger, depress both catches on either side of the clasp at the same time, then press the clasp down onto the bracelet before releasing the catches to secure the clasp. I cannot, with just my thumb, press down the clasp onto the bracelet to snap it shut before engaging the foldover piece. It won't go down. Is this normal for milled clasps? Please advise.”
