Has anybody found any good alternatives to the OEM bracelet on the 38mm hamilton khaki mechanical models, where the end links are a solid fit? Looking to source from the UK, but the only one i have found so far is from Uncle Straps based in the US. Also heard that the seiko SRPG bracelets may fit.. anyone have experience?
The problem is that even if you find a bracelet with endlinks that fit it most likely won't fit as the finish or color. It's difficult to match the tone of the stainless steel with a blasted finish that's why you rarely see a sandblasted watch with a sandblasted bracelet.
Yeah its a good point. Currently have it on a bracelet from a cheaper Seiko 5 SRPG as the bracelet lugs line up, but the end links aren't the right curve and the finish is brushed rather than sandblasted as you say.. looks like I may have to continue the search for a second hand OEM bracelet. Cheers
When in doubt go with a NATO…
