Most of us would call this a five row which would not be correct for the 167.005 & 168.005 which would use a true seven row bracelet. Only count the center links.
Btw, I just realized they have a date and no date bracelet option. Is there any real difference in the case?
I picked up an uncle seiko BOR for my alpanist a while back. Don’t have it on hand unfortunately but it was nice looking I’m sure construction similar to the Connie one. They look good I think the uncle seikos are a step below strapcode they feel a little light but it didn’t stop my from getting additional bracelets from them.
The light is what I like about US- and the classic 16mm flip clasp. I have a strap code on my Seiko and it’s a hunk-o-steel and very nicely finished, but that suits a chunkster like my mini-turtle.
On a vintage watch you want slim, light, tapered to 16mm and flip clasp. Those specs are hard to find from many makers today. I actually wish someone would bring back the JBC ratcheted clasp. I haven’t found a diver clasp on any modern watch that is as slim and comfortable as the JBC.
