Do you have a picture from the other side of the clasp and anchor (the sides which connect to each other)?
Also a photo from the side of the bracelet to see the link finishing on the side would be great.
At this point I can say it reminds me of a bracelet I have on a digital Seiko, but the end links definetly seem to be installed afterwards (no number, fit isn't quite right to my eye and the finish doesn't seem to be too good).
With the additional photos, I could compare it better to what I have. Clasp and it's anchor on mine are exactly like what you have there and mine is 100% original.
Mine is btw one of the finest Seiko bracelets I have ever handeled (weight, feel, looks, finish are all just superb). I'll post a photo later.

I think it's authentic...many end-links didn't have numbers. Someone found it cleaning out their basement. I was trying it out, but it doesn't fit to this watch in an acceptable way. |

Looks like it belongs to an LCD quartz watch.

Looks like it belongs to an LCD quartz watch. Thanks, you might be right. Did the quartz watches also have 19 mm lugs generally? |

This is awfully late and you obivously knew that yours was a Seiko bracelet but here is mine. My experience on Bracelets and Seiko bracelets is limited, but I know thing or two about materials and handicrafts. This here is the best braclet I have personally ever held in my hands. Also from a crafting point of view it is nothing short of amazing. It feels literally like living snake made out of silk cloth when you hold it in your hands. Yet it is as heavy, solid and edgy as a rhino. I often take the watch off just so I can keep and feel the bracelet in my hands (yeah, it feels that good) Sides of the links are smooth, thin sections between the links are seamless and the only seams which can be seen on the links are perfectly executed. This really reminds me some of those Japanese metal works from late 19th and early 20th centuries which have moving parts and look like real animals. The finishing on yours (under side and link tapering) looked in some ways similar to mine and sure enough Ouroboros said it probably came out from a digital Seiko (like this one).     |
