Uncle Seiko BB58

I've seen a post or two about Uncle Seiko's 1/2 (or 3/4 rather) link for the OEM BB58 bracelet. But has anyone fitted a Jubilee or President bracelet to a BB58 yet?

I'm ordering a 1/2 link and both Jubilee + President bracelets this week. I'm leaning towards fully brushed links for the Jubilee but the PCLs might be a nice touch since the OEM and President bracelets are already brushed.

If anyone out there has either bracelet, especially on a blue BB58, please post!

Coincidentally, someone posted a video of the Jubilee on a BB58 today.

Just put on Uncle Seiko’s President bracelet on. The clasp leaves a lot to be desired, but I figured that would be a given at this price. It looks amazing, though!

Ordered the Jubilee (PCL) but the BB58 looks so darn good on the President. I’ll be ordering the Jubilee for my Tudor GMT soon.

I’ll be honest. It feels somewhat like a stretched bracelet from a 5 digit reference - a little rattle-y. If your expectations are that of a $129 bracelet, then I don’t think you’ll be disappointed. If you’re expecting Tudor quality, I’m afraid you’ll need to stick with the OEM bracelet.

So far, in practice - it hasn’t been an issue for me. It’s also only been a few hours. But it feels and looks like a completely new watch. I have a hard time not staring at my own wrist. Good thing I’m not in public right now!

My wife’s is wearing my BB58 now, and i finally found a use for the half link. She needed it and it fits perfect.

Update: been wearing the BB58 with the Uncle Seiko President bracelet for several days now. I have to say that I really love the BB58 all over again. The bracelet is a bit "tinny," but it makes the BB58 really wear like a 5 digit Rolex now.
