Bought the Uncle waffle strap in black since you guys where so enthousiastic about the brand. Regretting it to be honest. I have a Zulu Diver waffle in blue and when you put them side by side the Zulu is MUCH nicer. The rubber is thicker, yet supple, and it looks ‘healthier’ for lack of a better word. The Uncle looks dried out and cheap. The buckle on the Uncle is also a sad sight when put next to the Zulu.

I just got a couple of the straps from uncle Seiko. the ones used on the old seikos. Mine is a 7002 skx 173 from 1994. Gl something. I think is a nice band. Good rubber. However i can not get around the fact that it is very thin compared to the original. I even asked on the website if people mentioned this or it was a non issue. I was told that ordering the on sale model was recemented. I like the band except for what it is, but i don’t think i could ever wear it because its blatantly wrong. I don’t know why with all that went into it, the thickness went away. Its a nice try but falls short, although i was bummed out when i got a hip replacement because i was no longer factory correct.

I wouldn’t call yobokies a “heavyweight” by any stretch of the imagination. His stuff, and his customer service, are garbage. Personal experience.

In reply to Henry Margenau. I bought one for my 6105 and it's a pain in the ass once putting in to take it back.

In reply to Joe Montecino. I agree. I'm happy with my Uncle Seiko pieces, also. Well made stuff!

In reply to Andrei. Hi, Andrei. Thanks for reading! The endlinks seemed to have a good fit to my eye. Out of what I reviewed, I think the z199 bracelet takes the cake. It's comfortable and well-constructed with no visible gaps. The endlinks are hollow like most Seiko bracelets but, overall, I really like this one.

I have at least 6 various straps and bracelets from uncle Seiko and they all fit perfect up to the cases and feel extremely comfortable on the wrist. Definitely worth the money

How well do those stamped endlinks fit up to the cases? Any gaps, or feeling loose?

Probably the only thing that’s kept me away from US bracelets so far, based on how cheap regular Seiko stamped endlinks feel.
