Uncle Seiko NTTD Titanium bracelet thoughts.

Bought this on a whim last week from a UK AD that stocks them. I bought the NTTD on the stock NATO as the mesh bracelet was too thick at the clasp. It was the original long version at the time but I never revisited the mesh. Found this US online from a UK dealer. Received within two days of ordering and very impressed.
Watch is still very light compared to the SS 300MC Seamaster with the US 1460 I wear that on at times. The bracelet looks identical to the watch case and the solid endlinks are perfectly aligned.
I thought I'd share this as a possible option for NTTD owners. I have kept mine on a non OEM rubber strap but this elevates the watch to a new level for me at least. The NATO has not been used at all to be honest but I wouldn't mind using it on such a lightweight watch. I just don't like the aesthetics.
Paid slightly higher for the ti bracelet than from the US direct but received really quickly and with a nice watch pouch included. Brand new from Uncle Seiko with all protective coverings. I feel I've got a new watch in
some respects. G

I'm very pleased with my Ti Uncle Seiko. I went for the Jubilee style for my NTTD. So much more comfortable than the factory mesh bracelet.

Imressions:

The bracelet is light...coming in at 44.6 grams with the solid end links.

The clasp appears to be fully machined, and locks with confidence. Five adjustment holes ensure perfect sizing.

Fitment was very good. Installation and sizing was uneventful.

For the price ($258 CAD + $40 Fedex Fees), it's a pretty good value. Of course it's not nearly as good as an OEM bracelet, however for the price I can't complain.

The color and texture matches the NTTD nicely. Plus it's much more comfortable than the OEM mesh style bracelet.

I give it a score of 7/10.

Considered the Jubilee but went for the Presidential 1460 type. Not tried the OEM mesh outside of a very quick Boutique fitting prior to opting for the NATO. Wasn't a fan of the fit or the taper. I always thought the gap between the bracelet and the watch case looked out of place. Glad I've got options now and the watch will get more wrist time than before. G

Does anyone know if the US bracelets will fit a speedmaster? I think some of his Ti bracelets would look amazing on the Apollo 11 45th.

They offer bracelets specificaly for Speedmasters, there is no need to mix them. The ti bracelet is for NTTD, IMO I doubt it would fit. And even if yes, are you sure you want to mix a silvery steel case with a brownish titanium? Not sure how it would look together.

The 45th anniversary Apollo 11 is also made from titanium. That's why I'm asking. Other than the bulky X33 bracelet there's no option for a bracelet for the 45th.
