Picking Between Uncle Seiko Straps for Seamaster - Holzer vs US1171?

Noob question thanks in advance - Looking to replace my 2223.80's original bracelet with one of these.

What would you choose? Is one style better, more comfortable than the other, or is it just all about aesthetics?

What's wrong with the original? Omega's quality will exceed that of US. You could also fit an Omega 1612/932 bracelet which is used on other midsized Seamasters, for example:

The Holzer is cool and I'm thinking of getting one for my newer Seamaster but the 1171 is a solid classic. It's what I would choose if I was looking for at getting one.

Fwiw...
I recently added the "beads of rice" bracelet for my "everyday" watch. Same price $79, however a different seller. Looks identical. The weight/quality is quite nice - perhaps not Omega quality, but certainly an upgrade from a stainless Speidel.

I particularly liked the combination of brushed and polished stainless. My watch has satin and polished finishes.
