Seiko 22mm Jubilee Watch Band - Stainless Steel- for Models Diver SKX007, SKX009, SKX171, SKX173, SKX175, SKX175 Cal.7S26

I purchased my watch new at the base exchange in 1982. It's a great watch. I've had to replace the band 3 times over the years. After a while, the clasps wear and can come loose easily. This Seiko jubilee style band is an exact fit and looks great on the watch. It's heavy, smooth and has a finish that matches the watch. It comes with 2 new spring bars. My wrist measures 7.25 inches around. I had to remove one link and it took about 10 minutes using my watch band tools. The band is still a little loose, but not so much that the watch can spin around on my wrist. I don't think I could remove a second link without it being too snug. When you remove a link, make sure that you are pushing the pins in the direction indicated on the link. The nice thing about this band is that it doesn't pull your hair out and it is very comfortable on the wrist. I may purchase a second one just to have a spare when the time comes.

I bought a seiko skx007 shortly after finding out that they are becoming discontinued. The particular watch I bought came on the stock rubber band, which is AWESOME in its own right, but soon after I wanted the jubilee. This fits my watch like it was made for it!!! Guess why? It WAS made for it. The end links line up seamlessly and fit the radius of the case perfectly. I mean just perfectly. Some complain about the bracelet rattle or that it has hollow end links and folded center links blah blah blah. Rolex made their bracelets the same way for almost 40 years. The hollow end links and center links keep the weight down which is a big plus when your watch has 22mm lugs. Your watch is probably 42mm plus and after wearing my Seiko on the stock rubber, several NATO straps and this Jubilee, I can easily say the jubilee is the most comfortable. Also this bracelet is around $35. I'm not saying dirt cheap, but certainly in the world of watches this is a wonderful deal especially to be a name brand Seiko product. I wear mine daily to work. I work metal fabrication so this bracelet has seen a lot of heavy welding, grinding and installation. The combination of brushed outer and polished center links really hide scratches well and overall I struggle to say anything negative about the jubilee. Some are familar with the "jubilee stretch". This bracelet looks a little stretched when you first get it but that's how it was made. Just try it out as it is surprisingly comfortable and the "stretch" allows the bracelet to better follow your arms movement. I attached some photos after months of use.

I've owned a Seiko SKX divers watch over a decade now, and had replaced the original rubber band with a somewhat sporty looking leather band. Well, a couple days ago I received this 22mm stainless steel band. The link ends are hollow, so you get some rattling when moving your wrist. But, I expected this with a metal band in this price range. The form and fit is great. It's a very good quality (for the price) metal band and really complements the watch. Another thing I like about the band is that it's very flexible. I can hold the watch and band all bundled up in my fist, or the watch can be laid down on the bathroom sink with the band all folder underneath it. Yet another plus. Some other metal bands I've used, have links so tight, that they snag the hair on one's wrist. A painful and annoying shortcoming. There's none of that with this great watch band. The band will just elegantly lay across your wrist while keeping the watch in place; it really is a bracelet. It has an understated luster to it as well. I've always liked my Seiko SKX, but now that it's been mated with this band, I absolutely love it! It's a different watch with this band. Buy it. You won't regret it. As I write this, I'm looking at the watch and band. They look great together!

Bought this band to replace a leather one on my Seiko SKA791 Kinetic Fashion with round case and 22mm band width. This is not an "A class" Seiko band but it is a substantial stainless steel band with a good clasp system and very good band quality. It matches well with the SKA791. Adjusting the size (removed 2 links) was relatively easy, as long as you follow the direction markers when pushing out the pins. Installing it on the watch was a minor challenge; the provided band pins were too big to fit in the holes so I used the leather band pins that came with the watch and had no problems. The header pieces fit snugly against the watch case and a very finished & integrated look. I'm very happy with this band and highly recommend it to anyone who wants a metal band for a Seiko round case watch.

I was somewhat hesitant to buy this bracelet due to the various negative reviews. Everyone is entitled to their opinion...but for those who trash this bracelet and give it 1 star, they are wrong! If someone wants to say there are better 3rd party bracelets, that may be true but you will pay over twice what this bracelet costs. Some complain about the jangly build but that is a jubilee bracelet. What they overlook is the bracelet is extremely comfortable..it just wraps around your wrist and you forget it is there. Build qualilty is very good. It is a combination of solid and folded links. Yes, the clasp is stamped metal but it is a thick heavy guage that does not feel cheap or flimsy. Fit and finish are excellent. Let me underscore the "fit" aspect. The end pieces will fit your SKX007/009/A35/173 (etc.) perfectly, giving a finished classic look. The only crticism I have is that the clasp does not have a spring release. When new, you have to pry it with your thumbnail carefully until it loosens/wears in a little. I looked and looked at all the options and have come to the conclusion that at $30 or so, this is the deal. There is nothing better. In fact, after buying one, I liked it so much that I bought two more...one for another SKX and the other for a customization project. One final consideration, the bracelet was made for the SKX, giving it the final classic Seiko diver watch look that easily walks the line between sport, dress and tool watch. This is a winner!
