How much higher do you rate the strapcode over the oem bracelet?
I really like the strapcode. I believe the clasp feels more solid, the end links look nicer and more defined, I love the screws instead of pin and collar, and I think the style of the hexad fits the Samurai much better than the Seiko bracelet. On the negative side, I did have to sacrifice the diver extension, but I never used it anyway.
Overall, I think it was worth the money and I am very pleased with my purchase. I would recommend their products.
