Thing is they don’t make many of these and getting rare to get one and it’s the best bracelet Iv seen and used on my Alpinist, it looks amazing and makes the watch pop even more and makes it look even more of a expensive watch in my eyes.
I got the Strapcode Asteroid for my SPDC089, which is the Alpinist with the cream dial. It really transformed the look of the watch, it looks so great. I have a 7.5" wrist, so I needed to remove 2 links, one on each side of the clasp, which was very easy to do. It was a toss up between the Asteroid or the Uncle Seiko Beads of Rice. I think both are beautiful.
I have watched out for this bracelet and didn’t like it very much on its own. But specially with this Alpinist and that color of dial it is stunning!!! Good job mate👌👌
After watching this video a few weeks ago I've came to the realization that this is the closest I will come to that watch. I can't find it anywhere. Beautiful watch ❤
Im debating between jubilee or asteroid. I got a great deal on white dial alpinist ghost, the stock leather band is trash, i need to change it immediately.
It's crazy how Seiko has army of loyal fans,every used Seiko will have pound to pound better resale price than any other brand including Rolex.I sold last year originally priced 180€ Skx for 600€. Btw: beautiful watch-that bezel and glass reminds me of GS ❄️.
I love their bracelets. I agree the gold and stainless for the SARB017 is to thick and the clasp is quite large wish it was slimmer but it doesn’t stop me from wearing mine. That blue dial one is on my list for sure.
That's a nice bracelet, however that clasp has no business being that big. It is both too thick and too long. The endlinks should have been inverted too. I think the best aftermarket bracelet for these are still the uncle straps jubilee and the uncle straps beads of rice.
Unfortunatly it is not possinle to change the clasp on the SPB197j1 as it os secured with a aditional bar. So for anyone who the regular seiko clasp does not fit perfectly to change the whole bracelet is the only option. The asteroide bracelet looks good as for the strapcode o boyer that is similari find the original seiko bracelet much better made, with smaler tolerances. But not fitting so ...
Seiko make no effort to integrate bracelet and watch. They just have a box of random bracelets that they reach into and whatever comes out goes on the watch.

OMG the watch looks much better! Love the brecelet. Cant wait for you sugess tona V3 video😉👍🏻
Its already been released, it was reviewed when it was unboxed
@@TheWatcherReviews but you say in this video that a review will follow? Love this V3 version
Now that's a beauty! 😍
Great shout with that strap, looks fantastic
Those Alpinist are BEAUTIFUL ❤. Do you have a video on them, the green and blue. If not can you make one please.
That's a lot of wrist candy! Definitely looks better on the strapcode bracelet. UncleSeiko's looks nice too.
One thing to bear in mind is the female endlinks on the UncleSeiko options, it has always made a big difference in fit in my case.

Seems top notch quality but im too much in love with oysters bracelets ;) Ill have look at their oysters ones. Thank you for your video as always !
I'm getting the asteroid bracelet for my alpinist, but I wonder if this will fit my Hamilton murph 38mm?

I've got the asteroid on my SRPE mod, big old clasp though, replaced mine with a smaller milled one.
What is the smaller clasp
Damn this is going to be my next seiko amazing colour
I have the same watch and I highly recommend sticking it on a James Bomd NATO . Subscribed.
I'll give it a go!
Beautiful blue dial
I’m trying to get this watch but I can’t find it anywhere except one but the price is too high. Do you know anywhere else I could look for this watch?
Nice bracelet. Any idea if that bracelet would fit the Seiko Solar Prospex SBDN069?
Doubt it Tim
The website tells you what straps fit what watches
Добрый день! После Вашего обзора, тоже приобрёл такой браслет. Но пока не установил. Спасибо за информацию. Удачи!
👍👍👍 Very good looking!
I think I prefer leather straps on the alpinist
Yeah leather has its own appeal

Wow, that’s looks beautiful, love that blue.
Will you be willing to sell the stock bracelet?
Sorry man, using it on a black face alpinist that i bought only on a strap
@@TheWatcherReviews thanks. I will order a strapcode bracelet
does it fit on the newer alpinists and the alpinist 017?
I believe so
yeah should also fit the newer SPB121 etc. ones with the 6R35. I'm about to order one for my SPB123
👍
Does the continental fit the alpinist?
No the alpinist and sarb models have a slight different on the lug ends so they don't fit
Seiko make no effort to integrate bracelet and watch. They just have a box of random bracelets that they reach into and whatever comes out goes on the watch.
I bought a strapcode jubilee for my orient kamasu. Totally changed the look for the better. Superior quality bracelet.
Alpinist is very underated. 😞
No it’s not
