Link or suitable bracelet for Seiko V657-0A10

[MarathonZephead]

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

According to one Seiko site, the bracelet has been discontinued. 

Do you have the bracelet extended as far as possible?

Been there, done that I'm afraid. Was wondering if there's a Seiko band expert out there can offer a compatible watch model number with the same links...

These are the watches Seiko says uses the same bracelet.

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

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

Why don't you put it on a leather strap, these can be made custum to your needs?

[MarathonZephead]

Yes I've looked into that but it's a crude fit due to the shape of the end link.

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

Not so difficult.

I'm in the middle of customising a Seiko strap to fit my Pulsar. Bought it ages ago but never got started.

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.
