Mark you are the bracelet King. Great to see the two options up close. Both are equally comfortable and I would imagine not hair pullers. The importance is in the detail and the fact that the colour and brushings match, brilliant. Good job.
I bought the "O" style bracelet for my Promaster Eco-Drive a couple months ago and love it. The Promaster Eco-Drive is a great grab and go diver but I was struggling to find a strap I liked with it, this bracelet is perfect and really makes the watch wear better and look more expensive. Glad you are listening to your customers!
Already wearing my new islander bracelet on my Citizen NY0084! Thanks Marc for releasing what I think is the only aftermarket upgraded bracelet for these auto Promasters.
Thanks Mark!! Ordered two of the Citizen NY bracelets. I have been searching the whole internet for a good bracelet for this classic watch and then you come along and do it :)
Islander bracelets are outstanding quality. I bought the SKX one for my vintage SKX and it fits perfectly. I also have an ISL-116 Southold and the supplied bracelet is equal in quality. Comfortable, tough, and easy to size with the screw links. They even give you a screwdriver with a teeny-tiny Islander logo on it. The clasps are also well-machined and lock securely.
I got my Watch today and the bracelet a couple of days earlier. This is an amazing bracelet. I struggled to get it on the watch and was worried about scratching the lugs but once it was on this enhanced the look of my NY0040-17L blue dial considerably. This is one quality bracelet and with the micro adjustments on the clasp made it fit my wrist perfectly. Kudos to you Mark.
Marc, you rule dude. It takes a watch FANATIC to decide to manufacture bracelets for watches that aren’t his own brand, just because customers have asked about it? Incredible man.
Oh god at LAST!!!!!! Dude ,thanks SO much for this!!! Seriously people have been screaming out for.this for years!!! You just made one of the all time great dive watches perfect,you absolute hero!!!
Marc, I am THRILLED that you've built this bracelet for us. FINALLY a decent bracelet for one of my favorite watches! I have ordered the jubilee style bracelet for my NY0040 and I'm so excited to receive it. THANK YOU!
I recently purchased the J-Style bracelet for my Citizen NY0085. Excellent upgrade for the NY series! The J-Style bracelet flows well with the NY bezel.
I ordered both the day this video dropped. Been wearing the o-style non-stop for a month (my ny0040-09w lume dial). Its amazing for the price. Solid end links are nearly 100% perfect fit. Comes with a screwdriver for the sizing pins. Comes with big spring bars (I think bigger than oem!). Beautiful taper. Finishing matches the case perfectly brushed on the top and polished on the sides. Only possible thing to wish for would maybe be more micro adjusts but I got a perfect fit and like the small clasp that snaps in with confidence. If I had paid close to $100 for this bracelet I would not have been disappointed but it costs $60. Amazing job Mark.
I just took delivery of the "J" Style bracelet for my Citizen Promaster Ecodrive last week. I am very impressed with the fit and finish. It looks amazing and really makes the watch feel premium. Keep up the great work!
Talk about perfect timing! I just received my NY0040 from the U.K. yesterday and was disappointed with the jubilee options available out there. Thanks a lot Marc! 👌
How did I miss this video? Mark, I was one of the people who inquired about an ny00 bracelet (and couldn't believe how fast you responded). This is awesome! I will be ordering one for sure!
You’re the best Marc. I will be ordering one for my NY0086. Please, please, please make these bracelets for the Seiko 38.5mm Solar Divers (SNE573, SNE583, SNE585 etc.)
I would love to see a video where you focus on the engineering side, and methods used in the development of these bracelets, including manufacturing processes etc.
I just ordered the newly released orange-dialed version of the the BN0151, the BN0169-03X. When the watch finally comes, I look forward to buying your J-style bracelet for it. I have the black version and the blue version, but I wear each with NATOs and a marathon rubber strap, respectively.
Excellent quality yet again Sir a home run for sure are you considering a beads of rice bracelet like on your latest release that beautiful thin skindiver Amazing watch I'm hoping to own one or more of those awesome dial variants I wish you continued success with all of your endeavors Be Well my friend and Thanks for sharing as always 👍
@@islandwatch it would be nice. Citizen USA sells directly to consumers, often at a cheaper price than official distributors like Macy's. But I see so many nice Citizen Promasters on the German, Italian, Japanese, and European markets in general that are not available in the USA. Citizen seems to have endless fashion/mall watches on the American market, while nicer dive watches in Europe, where are also sold at a lower price. It would be nice if you could sell European/Japanese offerings that Citizen USA does not distribute, at European prices. I can not understand why in the EU they are cheaper, with 20-25% VAT/IVA tax included in the price, much higher than US sales tax.
Not long ago i received the jubilee bracelet for my Promaster NY0085. It looks simply stunning and makes the watch look more valuable (i sent Marc pictures of the watch). The only criticism I have of this bracelet is that the edges of the inner links are a little sharp. Still, it's a great piece and i would buy an islander bracelet again.
Just wanna say I got the bracelet in today, and fits my 44mm Fugu model perfectly! Couldn't find any clear answers out there if it's a perfect fit for the Fugu, so writing to let everyone know it works!
Nice to see those negative/female end links on those J-style bracelets. Any chance you'll make female end links for other J-style bracelets you've made, such as the Brookville?
I would have liked that you show the details of the bracelets more than the watches, habit I guess :) For the 5 pieces ones (jubilee) can you tell if the pieces 2 and 4 which are articulated on the spring bar are the same shape and length than the other ones on the bracelet ? They look longer to me but I'm not sure... (pictures on the site are not showing that part of the bracelet neither)
Hi Marc, great to see these. You mentioned somewhere you're making female end link Jubilee and Oyster straps for the Brookville. Any idea when they will hit the store?
Hi Marc! I've had my seiko srpe (dresskx) on one of your J style bracelets and it's amazing! Top quality! One thing I wish it had was female endlinks. Is there any plans to sell the female endlinks separately (conversion kit) for the srpe J style bracelets? If you do, I'll definitely have to get one
I've got the O style for the EcoDrive and like it. The only ask I have would be if you could sell an on the fly adjustable clasp similar to the stock Citizen bracelet. I've got one of those as well, and that's the only thing that makes me like that bracelet better. That's one of my favorite bracelets on any watch I own. Sell it as an add on to your regular. Or even an additional SKU, although that may be more costly. Just don't make the sum of the two SKU's as much as Citizen's $120+ for theirs.
Is the Jubilee more comfortable than the oyster or is it just a visual difference? I like the looks of both. Got the Oyster on my full lume NY00 but considering getting the NY0040-17L and throwing the jubilee on it
Hi Marc, I may have missed it, but what width does the bracelet taper down to at the clasp? I’ve bought one of your jubilee bracelets for the SRPE series and absolutely love how narrowly it tapers down. Is this the same as those bracelets? If so then I’ll buy both bracelets in a heartbeat
Nice looking bracelets, I’m glad someone is making good quality fitted bracelets for that eco drive citizen. I think that watch/bracelet combo should be on every beginner watch geeks radar as a possibility for a first diver……in your opinion, do you think on the fly, tool-less, adjustable clasps well permeate into the affordable watch segment? We’ve seen sapphire crystals on more affordable watches, as well as milled clasps and ceramic bezels. I’m just curious on your thoughts as to whether or not something like that is a possibility.
That clasp question is where I am as well. The stock Citizen BN015x bracelets are really nice mainly due to their adjustable clasp. I have one of Mark's and a stock one. The clasp on the stock one is so nice.
I think they will, eventually. But the problem with a tool-less clasp, is, at manufacture, the clasp is just as much as the bracelet. So affordability comes into play.
I just received the jubilee variant for my citizen and man, I have to say I feel like I’ve got a new watch! Thanks a bunch for making this! Greetings from Hannover, Germany
It's amazing how a good bracelet changes a watch. They look great!
Yes it does!
Mark you are the bracelet King. Great to see the two options up close. Both are equally comfortable and I would imagine not hair pullers. The importance is in the detail and the fact that the colour and brushings match, brilliant. Good job.

Giving the customer what they want? What a novel idea. Here's to your ongoing success.
You did listen! Thanks Mark, we needed this. The bracelet that came with my NY0085 is the worst.
Great, thank you!

Got mine in the mail today for my promaster automatic. Thank you mark.
I'd previously bought both the J and O models for my Promaster Quartz Diver. The fit and finish is really nice. Well worth the price.

Glad you like them!
It looks stunning!
Exactly what I’ve been looking for - thanks guys 👍👍

a long dream came true for me , thank you so much for the Citizen NY bracelet, it s amazing ❤, i love my one…strapcode did not listen😅
How about one for the Casio Duro
haha, working on that now.
I hope you get citizen on board Marc. Eco drives are excellent but some are just monsters in terms of size and weight.
thank you
Will these bracelets fit a Citizen NY0151 Fugu? I love the bracelets style and construction.
Wondering the same

Nice!
Also, do you have any plans to come out with small version of the skx diver? Like the mini turtle Seiko with LTL of 43ish mm?
I have an Islander bracelet for my Kamasu. I really like it.
thanks.
The Penn looks really cool. Any chance of seeing these female end-links on the J style bracelet for the 38mm SKX013 style cases?
perhaps, working on some ideas.

hello Mark , the jubilee bracelet wil it fit NY0140-80EE? do you ship to Romania ( Europe) ?
When are you going to make a Willard?
Do you have a bracelet with negative end links to fit the Seiko Alpinists?
no, sorry
Will it be more citizen promaster automatic bracelet #BRAC-70?
I’m gonna start this train if it hasn’t been started already😂
Will we see a Citizen Fugu bracelet sometime soon??
That could be a while as the watch needs to permeate "watch society" first to make it worthwhile.
We need this for the SKX!
Do these bracelets fit the smaller wrists?
How many links can you remove on the oyster ny0040?
Will this fit the more recent Fugu as well?
Any chance you'll add citizen to your shop?
7:00 Is it just light, or do the bracelets appear way shinier than the cases of those two Citizens?
Hi Mark, any chance to get bracelets for classic seiko 5, snk809, snkl45?
Do you have extra links available for these?
Will this fit a Seiko King Turtle ? If not do you have any other bracelets that do?
I would love to put a "j-style" bracelet on my Citizen Fugu. Will this also fit or does the Fugu has a different endlink?
Will this fit the fugu series?
Is it ok tacking it to sea? 😊
