I grabbed one and it came today. It's a perfect fit on the 6309-7290 that I got it for. Took three links out and ther is the perfect amoutn of adjustment with the three micro holes in the clasp. I may grab another one for the -7040. I would try to reshape the end links before I drop the price of the bracelet on end links embarrassed-smiley-face Peter, you can reshape end links all day long but they won't look right. The only way to get end links from slim case to fit a -704x is by removing material to completely reshape the profile. It works but in the end it looks like s#@t. Jonathan's end links are the best folded end links out there for the -704x case and well worth the money. My only caveat is if the opening is large enough to accommodate a bracelet link that supports 2.5mm spring bars. You can measure and ask Jonathan.

Without bothering the man; what do his end links go for?

The photos on ebay just arent good. Clasp, link edges, pins, etc. Could you please post some photos??? Are the Pins the Seiko fat pins or skinny? Im trying to decide between this one and the one posted above with the pushbutton clasp for $26.

There is a seller on the Bay (yourbandstand) who is offering an Oyster w/end links for $24.95, anyone have any intel on these? I can't imagine they are fantastic, but the price is good. wondering if you guys are still happy with this bracelet? I happened to find this thread while looking for some reviews. wondering how the clasp is holding up and if the edges of the bracelet links are sharp. I've had a few cheap ones that were sharp enough to actually draw blood.

I got mine Four days ago from this seller and it is a ...... ( 24m ) for my Aqualand but It has to be touched up a little but it will fit good once done. ( By touched up I mean the end links just a little tight, on the Aqualand, but slight file,(polish) will do it.) 6309-7040/49's mine fit real good too. Can not loose with this guy, but some arranging can be done to fit, no problem with that. :imok: I can deal with what needs to be done and still be satisfied too. :winner:

It is a s good as the ones that came on the original Alpha subs(the newer ones are crap by comparison).

I think I'll give this one a try. not entirely happy with the options with solid end links. very expensive and the profiles don't look right. I actually don't mind the folded end links. I don't know why so many people complain. in my experiences if anything rattles its the clasp.

this bracelet arrived today. admittedly I had very low expectations and I have to say I am pleased. end links fit well. finish is good. clasp is actually very good...better than some of the stock seiko clasps I've had. comes with fat spring bars with flanges. the only miss that I can see is that some of the links are not pressed completely together. by this I'm referring to the connection of the center link with the two links on the side. by not being pressed together, there's just a sliver of space present and you can see the pin connecting them.
If you're looking for something inexpensive just to have around to put on then this is a great option. I think I may get another.

I anticipate the seller is about to be inundated and/ :haha:or sold out

Same here I took some advice and tried one , great and they fit good. He also has different thinkness ones if inquired off. I got one and it about the size of Jonathan's one's , and another that's thicker for my 7049 and they are great. I got it in 4 1/2 days here in Hawaii from China. Getting more thicker ones soon. Worth the price and more.

That's what I did to for mine just a little touch up and it looks good. He said good to know about it and they will do some adjustments so they will fit. He was very nice about it too when I explained what was wrong with them. I told him what I did and he said he will look into all that. NOTE: I got a 24mm for my C023 , man it is looking good now. Worth the money, hope he is still round yet, not sold out always. ___________________________________________________________ I found this other one called ........ ( 1988show (15153 ), also from China and great bracelets also. ( Might be the same company too )
