Uncle Seiko Beads of Rice Bracelet for Turtles

more_vert
Here’s a few thoughts and pics on the Uncle Seiko Beads of Rice Bracelet (BOR) for the SRP ‘Turtle’ and others:

Right off the bat, I'll admit that I'm not partial to aftermarket equipment. I tend to always prefer the way stock equipment looks, fits, and intrinsically feels (I am a devotee to the SKX007/9 jubilee).
The stock silicone diver’s strap is awesome and I’ll come back to it in warmer weather, but in the meantime, I had the perfect winter strap to find. I first had it on a NATO-style strap in sage (read: pale green grey), but I didn’t like how tall it made the Turtle wear with two layers of nylon under the case.

The cushion case of the Turtle is so well fitting, despite it’s dimensions, that I find it most comfortable when the caseback lays directly against the wrist. I also knew I wanted something to act as counter balance to the thick and weighty Turtle watch head.

The BOR bracelet speaks for itself in pictures. There is so much to love about it, just look at it.

A personal critique is that I don’t usually prefer bracelets this thick (it tapers down to 20mm from 22mm end links), but it does balance the watch nicely. The link edges and flip-lock clasp are also a little rough to the touch, though I imagine that they will file and smooth with use.

Very minor on a very major bracelet option for the Turtles.

That's a good looking bracelet. Design is nice and I like the way it fits between the lugs and the watch case. No gap like with the Nato strap. Thanks for sharing

Fairdinkum2Thanks! the fit of the (hollow) end links isn't perfect but it works well visually and is a breeze to install.
Thanks for sharing (and the tag on previous thread)!
I'm going to have to get one. I also found a black/PVD bracelet via Strapcode for the Darth Turtle, but I think the Uncle Seiko is in order for the SRP775 first to see how I like the turtle on a bracelet.

Vintage1982BenzI was between this and the U.S. Z199 bracelet and no regrets now. Despite the tinny clasp, it's comfort and looks are killer!
c0rneliusAgreed, the clasp feels chintzy on my Razorwire, too, but it has yet to fail me.
