Help finding straight edge end links for Glycine Combat Sub

I have 2 Combat Subs, one came on a rubber strap and the other on a NATO. I found a Glycine Combat Sub bracelet on eBay. Have you tried there? BTW, I love both of my combat subs...great watch!

I also have read negative comments about the original Glycine bracelet, so was hoping for some other option..

I should have added that the Glycine bracelet was pretty poor quality, and I ended up tossing it. Hope you can find a decent one.

Either my Google-Fu is better than yours, or you are very picky, because a search of “22mm Oyster Straight End” found dozens of websites selling exactly what you are asking for.

I am partial to Watch Gecko bracelets and almost all of them come in 22mm with straight end bars.

Well, might be a bit of both.

This one: the end links are too narrow (looks like fitment of strap, far from watch case... not very attractive) https://www.strapcode.com/products/metal-ss-bcl03-b010s

Uncle Seiko also has a flat end for the tuna, but very narrow end links as above

Watch gecko has one as well. Looks like a nice bracelet, but again the end links are very narrow and would leave a big gap to the case.

It is possible that no nice fitting end links exist for the Glycine and the good quality bracelets, I'm hoping maybe someone on this lovely forum has found one. If not, I'll continue with straps or have to buy some straps and experiment.

Now I understand. Finding an end piece that will fill the gap and match the Glycine case is likely going to be impossible unless you go for the Glycine-made bracelet. That just is not a common case shape.

I have one end link somewhere your more than welcome to have it and it helps you find a bracelet with the correct fit

My turn to resurrect this thread:

I recently got a Combat 42 with factory bracelet.

It’s a nice watch albeit wears a touch large for my taste. But it’s incredibly slim for a diver and comfortable on the wrist.
The size is only exacerbated by the massive chunk of steel they provide as a bracelet- 22/20 taper and probably about 4mm thick- it’s like a cuff. It is actually nicely made and the ratcheted clasp is a nice touch (perhaps this is revised over the older ones as this is light years better than what Seiko provides with watches at a similar price point), but it’s massive size is a deal breaker for me. I am hoping that a slimmer more tapered bracelet (22/18 or 22/16 ideally) may help make the watch wear smaller.
I am a bracelet guy if I can help it and I don’t do strait generic endlinks- fitted or bust!

I see that Uncle Seiko does 22mm fitted endlinks for several Seiko models and the lug shape and cut-out are similar (kind of strait but with a slight inverse curve). I am used to vintage bracelets which are light and not great fitting to the case, but close enough (can’t be too anal retentive with vintage bracelets).

The factory Glycine fitted endlinks have the same cut-out for the center link as a Rolex oyster, but when I tried a generic 20mm oyster, the center link was about .5-1mm too short to align with the holes for the spring bars (it was sooo close and would have been awesome).

Has anyone experimented with these US or other bracelets on a Glycine sub yet?
