Put an oyster on my Pogue....

[earthphase]

I needed a modern bracelet for my Pogue - I couldn't do the tingy vintage hollow stuff.  Went with a straight end piece, solid link oyster.

Feels good.

As long as you like it, that's a winner.

I like it.

Your subject line is quite funny if taken out of the vintage Seiko context. "Put an oyster on my Pogue!"

Best modification of a modern oyster I have found is to mate Jonathan's end links to a 20mm oyster, either a Hadley-Roma or any of a number of 20/18 "Super" oysters (as long as they are setup for standard spring bars not 2.5mm).  As the centers are 9mm you need to make spacers.  I use the ink tube from a ball point pen.  Slicing a perfect .5mm spacer can be tedious (and none of mine "perfect") but once mounted you won't even notice.

The concave area between the lugs means, to me, that these watches don't take to leather strap or straight-end bracelets very well.

I always found the big, odd gap to be quite unsightly.  The Pogue almost needs endpieces.  But hey, if it makes the watch feel better!

I honestly think Oyster Bracelets are the best at overcoming the lack of an original bracelet in 85% of cases.

That looks superb

In this case, I actually kinda like the space between the end link and the case.  For now it is my best option.
