    Question Are there any websites that show all the different kinds of watch bands?

    I am trying to figure out a watch band I own. Thanks.
    My daily five watches.

    G-Shock MTG930DA-8V, G-Shock GW-5600J-1, Citizen Eco-Drive BM8180-03E, G-Shock Riseman GW9200-1, and a Vostok Amphibia with a Russian Navy missile ship and a Russian Tank on a stainless steel oyster watch band.

    There are so many band styles, brands, custom strap makers, and online retailers that sell bands that are similar to branded bands, that unless it's a super unique looking band, it maybe difficult to figure out which band you have.

    You might have better luck posting a pic of your band and seeing if anyone on the forums here can tell you which band you have. Or is it you're looking to replace the band you have with an identical one, which is a completely different question all together.

    Thanks, but it is just a Seiko 5 watch band. Nothing special. I just wanted to know what it was called. As I was looking around, I saw watchmeworry's signature and they have the watch band I was trying to figure out. What is ironic, is I have my watch band on a military watch too.

    Ah, IC. Well, post a pic and we can probably give you "the name of the style" of the watchband you have. I

    Also,f you like WMW's band on his speedbird, you should just PM him...GREAT guy and has been on WUS for a very long time. I believe though that his Precista Speedbird you pointed out came with that bracelet. Funny, because I PMed him last week about his Speedbird. Such a killer looking watch :)

    If you have a Seiko 5, most likely (without knowing which model you have) it has 22mm lug width. So any strap or bracelet with a 22mm lugwidth will fit. But, keep in mind, after market braclets can be tricky to get the right look you're trying to achieve. Most times watches that come with bracelets come with custom end links that are an exact match to the watch's case.

    I learned this after buying a couple watches without bracelets and then wanted bracelets for the after I had purchased.

    The best strategy is to always buy the watch you're after on bracelet first. Because it's easy to purchase aftermarket leather and/or rubber straps, and almost impossible to buy the stock bracelet later on. And if you do manage to track down where to purchase a stock bracelet, it's usually more expensive than if you just had purchasd the bracelet model from the beginning.
