Mini review of aftermarket (yourbandstand) bracelet
It looks nice. Solid links with folded endlinks.
The folded endlinks.
The endlinks sits flush with the case. Brushing pattern is not the same with top of the case.
Clasp is nothing to write home about. Like, if you buy silicone strap with deployant clasp from ebay for $3, it's the same clasp. Usable.
You ask why there are drill bits in the first photo eh? That's the major problem with this bracelet.
The bracelet ships with a pair of VERY FAT springbars (fatter than seiko I think). OK, I think I wont be using the supplied springbars then. I'll use the stock springbars...
Alas... The stock springbars also does not fit through the holes! I mean WTH?! Thinking that return is not the best options economically, I went out to the hardware store. Get myself a few small drill bits in different sizes (luckily they're cheap).
3/32 is the sweet spot in term of size of the drill bit that drilled through it and made it large enough for the stock citizen springbars to slide through...
Sorry, no picture of the drilling process as it was done in an angry mode. No jig whatsoever. Freehand, and hope that it won't damage the holes... (It didn't)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Edit: It's the small mistake by the seller by mailing me the FAT springbar (size equivalent to seiko fat springbars) I should have told the seller about this and he will mail me the correct sized (1.5mm) springbars. The bracelet will accept 1.5mm springbars no problem.
Note to future buyers - The bracelet will accept 1.5mm springbars all right. No need to drill to enlarge the holes.
