Hi WS team, Can anyone tell me who has the best aftermarket Seiko 6138-0040 fishbone bracelet currently. I've had no luck with finding an original.  Thanks for looking Michael. |

I’ve only had experience of one - East Tech. Couldn’t fault it, but then I’ve never had an original to compare it against.

Thanks leffemonster appreciate your reply.
The only downside to the East Tech is it is symmetrical, where the original/aftermarket is asymmertrial.

The EastTech bracelet is nice and solid, and fits well on both the 6139-7100 and 6138-0040, though it isn’t asymmetrical like the original Bullhead one.

UncleSeiko was doing a bracelet like the Oyster bracelet that you see on JDM bullheads for the Kakume. I suggested he do an asymmetric one with straight ends to suit the bulkhead. Could be worth following up if you like that bracelet.

I think the ROI Tristan would be not worth it with such a small market, but fingers crossed for the future.
I like the aesthetics of the fishbone so will stay faithful to its unique design.
Thanks Michael

Sorry to hijack anyone have a link to this East Tech bracelet?
I have a 6139-7100 that’s taken me 8 months to complete the restoration but the bracelet eludes me. The ones I see on eBay are for the bullhead and have one end wider than the other.
Thanks

Tom SeikoPsycho has now run out of them as far as I'm aware, so no luck. Sorry to hijack anyone have a link to this East Tech bracelet?
