Hodinkee's $75 Gem Gets an Upgrade

Looks great Marc, thanks for keeping these Seiko alive!

A quality bracelet does wonders for a watch...

I'm excited to see the SNZG bracelet. Marc is awesome.

SARB033 wannabes :)

👍 Lunar Pilot 96B251 Bracelet?

Looks great. And since it's from LIW you know it's a quality piece at a fair price. 👍

“J” style bracelets are so much class.
I wear my SNXS81 stainless gold dial on an SKX013 jubilee.

Very nice. Would it be available the same for the snxs series too ? :)

Lunar pilot bracelet sounds interesting. Can't wait.

I'd love to see a bracelet for the seiko SUR311 or any of the SUR line

Oh ya. I’ve got a snorkel-23

Boom, with this bracelet that watch becomes an absolute classic.

I paused the video to look at the Hodinkee screngrab again. They lit the shot such that the watch head / indices / hands all have a light gold hue. Looks great with that brown strap, perhaps a little too good?

Marc if that bracelet is surely like your others it'll be popular. They're nice! Got one to upgrade my ISL-something.

Will the bracelet also fit other of these old gen Seiko 5's ie. SNK393?

Please, Please Please, a SNXS7xxx three link bracelet next.
These "poorman's day-dates are my absolute favorite. It is of the same Seiko 5 generation as this one here.
In addition to its stock 19mm bracelet having folded links, the matte finish doesn't match the case. I still love wearing them though.

- Благодарю! 👍🤝👋

Ah! I also have a 2006 16610, my favorite watch.

Well done!

Amazing work 👏

Beautiful bracelet.. good job Marc!

Marc is a legend!

Amazing! I was waiting since 3 years ago when I've got mine😀 Now I only need one good bracelet for my SNKC51J1 that has a kinda of integrated one that seems impossible to replace with standard ones.

Super excited to hear about the lunar P bracelets. It’s not like the bracelet it comes with is terrible. So, I’m super excited to see what Mark has up his sleeve.

I'd love it if you make bracelets with solid end links for SNXS79 (7s26-4080) and SNK357 (7S26-01V0). SNXS79 does have third party bracelets which come with it's own end links but they're always the hollow ones. And SNK357? Don't even think about a bracelet. I wish somebody would make them with SOLID END LINKS.

these bracelets complementing everyone's timeless watches are brilliant. Way to go Marc. I really like smart "watch dealers" who know exactly what the watch community want. Salute.

Hi Marc!
Does this work with the smaler Seiko 5 speedracer? The SNK371K

The bracelet that shall not be named, Joldemort! 🫨

Mark pleaseeeee make one of these bracelets for the 01V0 Seiko 5 case

this was my first watch back in 2018 and i still have it, don't wear much anymore but its the watch that started my obsession to this hobby

Hodinks eat the big one! - the time teller

Another fine video from LIW. Question: Are there any Seiko 5's in 39 or 40mm case diameter?

You know, if you’re really trying to capture an untapped market adapt a San Martin type OTF clasp to be universal like those clasps you use which are basically a Seiko dive clasp without the dive extension.

definitely the watch looks way higher quality 👌

Hey Mark glad to inform you that you CAN say the word Jubilee this word is from Bible times it is a 50th anniversary that was celebrated by the Jews in ancient times!

Did you say bracelet even sandblasted that will work for my meteorite edition Lunar Pilot?! 🤩

Finally, a bracelet with fitted end links for one of my favorite watches! Thank you!

Holy hell Marc, you're making blasted lunar pilot bracelets for the 45mm?!

I feel like I remember hearing that the springbar locations are in different places on the bracelet version, vs the leather/nato/velcro ones. Are your bracelets going to work for all variations of the lunar pilot? If your bracelets fit the blasted 45mm lunar pilot that came with the leather/velcro, I'll be buying one damn near as soon as your release them!

Wil it fit the SNKL19J?

I see no reason to why it shouldn’t?

Any chance you'll be making brackets for snxs models?

He does a great job of emphasizing both. Thank you, Marc!

Would you or will you make a bracelet for the Old SNXS series watches? 😬

Fantastic! I've been hoping you would make a bracelet for this watch. A great watch just got better.

My 18mm 5's case code is a 7S26-O1VO 😞

WHOAAA... Marc never wears his sub!

great idea, that bracelet!

I will be purchasing the seiko bracelet and look forward to purchasing th one for the lunar pilot bulova. Thank you for this, Marc!
