Link or suitable bracelet for Seiko V657-0A10


Recommended Posts

Hello!

I have unfortunately put on weight as a result of illness and I can no longer wear my beloved Seiko V657-0A10 as it's one link too small.

Seiko UK don't have either a link or bracelet for this model.

Would somebody be kind enough to offer to sell me one, or a compatible link/bracelet please?

Many thanks

Paul

Don't get miffed but if you want help with the bracelet then photos of the watch aren't much of a clue!

Um, did you not see the V657-0A10 right before the photos??
How else do you think I found the link I posted for him??

Hi again, no joy with a search for alternative models :unsure:
However, have a look at The third shot in this link it seems it's possible to fit a different clasp to the bracelet (or maybe an extender?).
If anyone feels capable of doing a competent job with this could you pm me please?
Many thanks
Paul


Don't think an extender can be fitted to that clasp.

Hi there, don't you get miffed either!
Yes I know I can find plenty of images on the web but my point is that the poster has given us some vey nice shots of the face and case and almost nothing of the bracelet.
I have solved a number of bracelet problems by changing or altering the clasp when links are hard to find.
Since I can't see the clasp i don't know if this is an option.

Thanks guys - the simple reason I have been unable to post bracelet shots as yet is because the watch is at Seiko UK, awaiting return, unable to replace link or bracelet.

As soon as I have it back I will post a couple of shots of it.

One other thing - a couple of professionals strap makers have also said it's definitely possible to do, but because of the nature of the join, there isn't a lot of leather at the joint with the watch head, and so will not be a long lasting solution.

    • Nice file  Just got old pocket watch in and tools,  can I get it back together or should I give up.  we'll see  thanks for the info
    • @HectorLooi Yes, I would say that Mumbai has the highest liquidity in terms used watches. How was your experience with these used watches and what watch brands did you buy used? I have always found the vintage luxury watch segment in India a bit shady. Quite a few are genuine watches with genuine matching parts but just not from the same one.
    • Interesting interpretation of "traditional". I would say that Loctite is definitely the up-to-date and appropriate stuff to use, however, it is a relatively modern solution. Before the advent of such esoteric solutions I believe that the "traditional" thread locker of choice may well have been a sugar solution. Once applied the water would evaporate and the sugar would crystalise, locking the threads tight.
    • @steve1811uk close but no cigar 🙂 I don't smoke anyway. I checked in my stock of parts and that's the closest I got to your dimensions. Good luck in your search. @RichardHarris123 I have an accumulation of all sorts of odds and ends that I acquired as a result of buying up the tail ends of old watchmakers estates. Usually after all of the great stuff has been stripped out, which means that the sweepings off of the workshop floor can be had for peanuts, but if you have the patience, can often be found to contain gold (both literally and figuratively 🙂 ). These came to me through on of those purchases. I doubt that I will personally be able to make use of even 10% of my accumulated stock, but having it, and knowing what I have, means that I can at least pass bits on to those who can use it whenever possible.
    • Hi and thank-you for your suggestions, as per Mark's instructions I checked my browser "Safari" and spell check and grammar was not ticked. So all sorted. Thanks CJ
