 Brice, forgive Seiko for the bracelet. It's the head that really matters. That Sumo will be a keeper.....believe me.


thankyou.gif Jeff! I gotta say (and it's (I'm) weird I know)subtlelaugh.gif... but as much as the Black Sumo had not clicked at all for me, don't know why, and I flipped it right away at the time....this one is just the opposite... I love it.. the head anyway and will be keeping it.. I think as of now!subtlelaugh.gif What the heck was Seiko thinking with the bracelet... Not only I am not fond of the style but it could work well with the Sumo style if built better... but it is too thin I think for one which I could forgive :), but the lugs are too narrow, should be 22mm IMHO... mostly the problems are 

1- that the end links just DO NOT go with the lugs, do not fit well AT ALL... like they never thought of the bracelet in the design process and just picked whatever they had in the parts bin and slapped it on.. The end link is not thick enough and does not fill in the lug so itis flush at the top but it also does not match the lug angles/shape.

2- The clasp is almost INvicta cheap...whichone.gif

 Oh well I still love it but will be looking for a new bracelet for it, it'll be funThumbsUp02.gif
