22mm Metal Band by MiLTAT22mm Super Engineer II Watch Bracelet, 316L Stainless Steel Straight End

Have ordered strap code Bracelets for years. I always ordered the Jubilee's and EndMills for my turtles. Because of the iconic look of the 6309. But finally pulled the trigger on this bracelet. "Glad i did" The other bracelets taper to18 mm and this is the only one That's 22 all the way down which gives the turtle a more manly look. And does suit the watch Better. But the jubilee is the best look. But as far as comparing case to the band this one looks the best. This band holds the turtle a lot better than the 18mm tapered. Great quality, very comfortable bracelet, highly recommended. On fitted end strap code bracelets always use the pins that come with it. With this Bracelet I found the pins were loose and the band wobbled. I switched them with seiko fat boys and holds tight and fits Perfect, so switch the pins to fat boys. Nice comfortable good looking bracelet pull the trigger !!

Bracelet was originally purchased for a Glycine Airman SST 12 Automatic but after talking with the seller I realized that it wouldn't fit with the supplied 2.5 mm spring bars. I purchased one of these before for my Seiko SARB017 Alpinist and it really dressed up the watch. I ended up using this bracelet on a 22 mm lug space Glycine Combat Sub GL0091. It fit like a charm. Really makes the watch feel substantial. The 2.5 mm supplied spring-bars fit perfectly with this watch. The faceted 316L stainless links are milled from solid steel and with the satin finish, really complement the watch. I especially like the use of stainless steel screws instead of the usual pin and collar you find when sizing a watch. These screws make sizing (and resizing) a snap.The use of screw pins also allows you to fit an alternative buckle if you want something different and know what you are doing...you will just have to contact Strapcode and ask for suggestions and the right part. The fold-over clasp and push-button release buckle that come with this bracelet give you a real sense of security when wearing the watch and like the rest of the bracelet, milled (not pressed) solid stainless steel is used in the components with a real nice finish. When sizing bracelet, the 2.5 mm spring-bars that come with the product will challenge you if the lug-spacing on your watch is too snug so you may want to check with the seller before buying. I was told that you can use a thinner 1.8 mm spring-bar but you may have to buy those separately if you decide to or are compelled to go in that direction. This solution will work and it shouldn't compromise the fit. I have purchased from Strapcode before, they are knowledgeable, offer a competitively priced high-quality product and provide excellent customer support.

This watch band looks and feels, in person, every bit as substantial as you might think it would from looking at the picture. Build quality is SUPERB. It is VERY easy to adjust size, you can adjust it a small amount just by moving a pin in the clasp, but if you need to remove links the pins in the removable links are screw-down and are really nice quality - I wish every adjustable metal band was this easy to deal with. You need a small / jewelers screwdriver (similar to what you would use to work on a pair of eyeglasses) to unscrew the link pin a few turns, and then you just grab it and pull it out. Then remove the link, slide pin back in, and screw it down a few turns. Finish on the band is gorgeous. Clasp is quality and very secure. I just can't say enough how happy I am with this watch band. Keep in mind though, this band is solid stainless steel, thick links, so its a bit on the heavy side. Nothing crazy but if you have never worn a band like this before it will feel different. But its very comfy, does not pinch hairs on your arm or anything. Comes with a very solid set of spring bars, nice quality, which is another positive. 22mm sizing is exact fit no gap. Switched this as a new band for my Seiko diver watch and I love the new look and feel. It is very secure, will be bullet proof in fresh or salt water because it is stainless, and will last forever. I do think you need to match this band with a substantial / bigger watch, putting it on a smaller / thin dress watch it would look silly. Perfect to match with a diver watch, in my opinion.

This is a real nice looking watch bracelet with a heavy solid feel, no rough edges and a smooth operating latching system. It was delivered on the day promised and it was well packaged and the threaded link pins made it easy to size it. The only reason I did not give it 5 stars was because even though it was advertised to fit most 22mm sport watches the oversized spring bars that came with it caused an impossible fit between the end of the bracelet and the body of my Ball Engineer II Aviator watch. I ended up using normal size spring bars because their smaller OD created a little more space between these two parts. While everything now works as it should I am a little concerned that over the long haul the smaller spring bars may not be strong enough for the combined weight of the watch and bracelet..In the larger picture I am surprised that the manufacturer of this kind of quality aftermarket bracelet did not take into account the variety of watches it might have to fit and allow a little more tolerance for the tit between the straight end of the bracelet and the body of a watch, especially when it clearly intended that the tight fitting large OD spring bars be part of the assembly.
