New Uncle Seiko 1450 President

Looks great. Eagerly anticipating mine. Did you have any trouble sizing? Also, are there enough micro adjustment holes on the clasp to get a good fit? I drives me crazy that there are only 2 micro adjustment positions on the clasp of my current OEM bracelet and I can never quite get the right fit.

Sweet!

Mine came yesterday and its excellent Thank You Uncle Seiko

How is the clasp on yours? Mine took a bit of adjusting to get a secure, "Snap".

Me too

I just tried to post a new thread with pictures showing the difference. The pics would not upload and I am not sure why. Will try again in a bit.

My clasp is pretty tight, I'm going to switch the US clasp cover for a vintage Omega clasp cover. Hope I dont get in trouble!
LOL

I wont tell if you wont tell

The eBay clasp that was discussed in another thread previously used on the US1171 fits perfectly. I just got my 1450 a bit ago and did the swap. Loving this new release, along with the US Flat Link and US1171!

Looks great on my 3576! I got the sizing tool and accidentally popped the pin out the wrong way on the first try. I didn't realize they have to go out and come in a certain way. So for those sizing, make sure you push the pin out in the direction of the arrows on the underside of the bracelet.

The strap looks wonderful - well proportioned and clean. The sides are polished (not the side links, the literal sides) which is a nice touch. The end links fit my 311.30.42.30.01.006 perfectly. They're definitely solid, the same weight as the end links from my Forstner flat-link, but with tabs that help the alignment quite a bit. One of the spring bars seated perfectly instantly; the other I had to massage a bit but with a minute or two of fiddling it seated properly and looks great. The top of the end link sits flush with the watch case - no need to worry about the sharp edges there.

When shaking the strap, the jingle is slightly higher pitched than my Uncle Seiko 1171 - more of a metallic jingle bell tone. The new clasp is subtle, but I like it - there's more of a tactile feel and sound when opening and closing it. The amount of force required is only slightly more, but the overall feel is much more refined. The logo is also embossed more deeply, which is wonderful.

This isn't an enormous strap - out of the box it was loose but wearable on my 7.5" wrist. I removed 3 links and got a perfect fit. By default, the fine adjustment pins in the clasp are at their widest setting. In general I recommend leaving them there - moving to the center pin changed the feel of the clasp. It wasn't less secure or less comfortable, but the solid feel of the opening and closing I mentioned earlier was reduced, probably due to leverage and positioning of the pivot or something.

The weight is very comfortable - nowhere near as heavy as the stock bracelet but a touch more than the 1171 (probably mostly in the end links). Light enough to not be aware that the watch is there, but enough presence that if you feel for it you'll find it.

Craftsmanship is excellent across the board. There are no sharp edges to be found - the bracelet feels smooth and comfortable inside and out. Although I've only had this bracelet for an hour, my first thought is that this will be the primary way I wear this watch from now on. Amazing work!

Looks great! So far mine is wearing well after a couple of days. I had the same issue with one of my end links. Took a bit of finesse to get the spring bar to seat properly. Overall I'm happy

Mine came in today. Love the way this fits. Clasp is tight but starting to loosen up a bit as it breaks in. Overall, very pleased!
