- Unboxing, setup and review of the new Strapcode Super Jubilee bracelet for the new SEIKO 5 Sports SRPD-Series.
Even though the clasp isn't that impressive, I like this jubilee bracelet that tapers from 22mm to 18mm because it gives the watch a more refined look. What do you think?

Jubilee bracelets are much more stunning than the dull factory bracelet IMO. I'm actually planning to purchase this exact same setup with the green face also.
I've got this watch but it's a Pepsi! I'm thinking about a jubilee bracelet too...
I bought Seiko SRPD93 from Costco today for $179 and ordered this bracelet from Amazon. Thanks for your video.
The trick in the video really worked for me. My bracelet had horrendous play, but after taking normal straight thin spring bars and wrapping them in tape, the play is almost unnoticeable! Really saved the bracelet for me.
Thank you very much for your feedback!
that watch looks gorgeous and the open back case showing the movement is just fantastic
@john doe: You’re right. Even though you only see the case back while putting off or on the watch it’s always pleasant to look at it.
I think it's so high price for bracelet that cost almost 70$ But when already installation finished, it is beautiful.
Just get the seiko jubilee same shit half the price
@@andyl2726 you know maybe a website ? Couldn't find it and now jubilee costs 109$ plus shipping to europe plus taxes is about 185$ which is sick 🤣🤣🤣
@@andyl2726 it is literally not the same at all.
I think the new bracelet looks very smart indeed. It makes the watch look very stylish and expensive. Thank you so much. 👍
Thank you!
Just ordered and install. Using the straight spring bars (instead the curved spring ba ) come with the Strapcode bracelet will fix the end links issue, it perfectly secured.
SKX style with jubilee is a classic Seiko look. Gotta get something like this one day.
And it’s really comfortable on the wrist!
At least it’s milled out and not stamped ,, the stock stamped Seiko bracelets drive me crazy . The jubilee looks better on it man,, good job !
Thank you! Even though it’s not perfect, I like the look and feel of the jubilee a lot.
Eh.. eventually I took the plunge and ordered the Strapcode Jubilee for my new Sports5 watch. I am "quite" happy but do not consider Strapcode a very good company because they simply send an SKX bracelet (don't even bother to remove the useless FAT straight spring bars) and simply include a pair of curved spring bars (to fit the S5) which, being THIN, cause a noticeable play in the end links (to which I see no solution). A serious company would have redesigned the end links. Their sale page for the Seiko5 Jubilee is also misleading because they say 'This item includes one pair of "Special curved" FAT spring bar' which is not true, since they are not FAT. Also - like you - I got some play in the safety clip on the clasp and additionally, my clasp does not always close by simply pushing down, I need to press the two buttons to close it. Finally :) I am not satisfied about how secure is the watch now, since using curved spring bars on a watch with straight holes makes them go in at an angle, which is not 100% reliable.
@LP: you perfectly described the negative aspects of this bracelet! Thank you very much for the comment!
@@watchyouwant1617 Thank YOU for your video, at least I knew what to expect! Being quite finicky I have now removed the bracelet and the bars, wrapped a little electrician tape around and re-assembled it back. Now the play is almost unnoticeable and I am finally happy LOL.
@LP: a very creative solution 👍🏻
So the straight fat one does not fit ? Because I installed the curved one , and there is as well like yours ton of movement !
@@o.g.2027 You have to use the curved bars. To remove the play I wrapped them in a little sort of tube made of tin (from a beer can). Used a toothpick to make the tube. It's a bit hard to push them in, but now I have zero play and am happy.
Strapcode bracelets are the first purchase I make after purchasing a new Seiko. Despite the perceived sound of the locking clasp the clasp is one of the most secure you can ask for. The one recommendation I can make is to "lock-tite" or dab a bit of nail polish on the threads of the screws when you add/remove links. I've had a screw back out on one of my many bracelets.
@Sal Matos Jr: Thanks a lot for this useful information! I’ll put some of the “lock-tite” that came with my Sinn bracelet on the screws.
Have you ever though of changing the clasp to the origin Seiko one?
The New Seiko 5KX Strapcode Bracelets use fat bars, And they fit perfectly 👌 Super solid too! No play 👍
I like the look of the Strapcode well enough but 1) I actually prefer the OEM mesh that comes with some other 5KX models, 2) the cost of the bracelet is too high, IMO, relative to the very low cost of the watch, and 3) Strapcode is overhyped. Quality is only so-so IME based on twp bracelets purchased for Sieko Turtles.
I paid extra for the factory solid chain mesh bracelet for this watch, only to get dicked by a flimsy clasp that doesn't stay closed. Will be ordering this thanks man
Loved the video man. Recently picked up this beauty and love it. Only apprehension is I might mod the bracelet. I saw your jubilee bracelet and it really classed up the watch. The green is beautiful
Thanks man! Appreciate it!
Great review I have this new seiko 5 on order but what you did by changing the bracelet it looks amazing thank you.
I just bought the sieko 5 champagne face mesh bracelet. Thinkinin about getting this jubilee for it
Strapcode bracelets make Seiko 5's feel like a $1000+ watch.
I wish they would do this in two tone. That would look great on this watch, and I want to put a gold bezel on it too
@Matt H: they actually do!
@@watchyouwant1617 but the endlinks don't fit perfectly I thought? Isn't that why they give you curved springbars? I thought they were working on a new endlink made for the Seiko 5 so you don't need to use a curved bar
@Matt H: I was surprised as well. I thought, that this was especially made for the new Seiko 5. At least this is how they advertise it. Haven’t tried to put the bracelet on the SKX007 though.
@@watchyouwant1617 yeah I think this is still for the 007 and their quick fix to get it fitting properly was curved springbars. But I feel using curved springbars in the endlink would put a lot of pressure on its central point
@Matt H: you‘re right! It’s definitely not the best solution to attach the bracelet to the watch case.
You're Very Talented In Removing & Installing The Bracelets On This Great Watch!!! Both Bracelets Looks Great On Your Awesome Arm & Long Sleeve Shirt!!! 😎👍😉👍🙂👍
BROTHER I LIKED THE POLITE WAY YOU SPOKE ON THE VIDEO-SIMPLE,SOBER,PROFESSIONAL.I LOVE DIVERS WATCH & THANKS TO YOU I BOUGHT THIS ONE-THOUGH IT IS NOT A DIVER'S CERTIFIED-M NOT A PROFESSIONAL DIVER.HEHE
Thank you for your comment! I appreciate it. I wish you a lot of fun with the watch!
Well done. You do a good job of thoroughly explaining your experience with ordering and especially the qualities AND negatives in the details. Looks too small for my wrists (22.3cm, about 8.75")
Thanks for your comment!
Lucky you 😆, the skx footprint is as big I can go.
Thanks for the review! I bought the bracelet before buying the watch😂 I just can’t decide for which color to get
Thanks for watching! I can totally relate: there are way too many colorways out there
Your watch and the bracelet look perfect
Beautiful I just bought the same bracelet for my new Seiko 5 looks awesome on yours cant wait until mine comes. I find myself wearing my old skx all the time because of the Jubilee bracelet but the new Seiko 5 is way better than the old skx so I had to get a jubilee for it I predict I'll be wearing it more than the old skx
Totally transforms that watch.
i am gonna buy this one
very soon !!
i ordered mine after watching this vid.thank you
I just bought this watch. It’s great
I like that this one is a solid end link but I don't like that it extends the lug to lug. The uncle Seiko one has a flush lug but it is hollow end link. For me I can't win with either for the price these cost
Looks really stunning
Almost hit the checkout button. But Im glad I saw this video, so I won’t go buy one. Thx.
Why
Fool
I have also a strapcode for my sarb and agree with you the clasp is not as it should be for the price....same issue as yours, I expected a higher quality on that part. Bracelet is fine and beautiful.
@Alain Reyers: Thanks for your comment!
Watch looks way better with the new bracelet.
@Gustavo Polanco: totally agree!
Yesterday I bought mine seiko 5 pepsi it's fantastic.
@Nikhil Lokwani: have fun with it!
Bought one today and man it's a stunning watch.
Does Seiko make an original one themselves that fits, I king of like having their logo rather than the blank generic looking one
Looks very nice. The only downside is the price imo.
@Eduard Laurentiu Baltatu: it certainly is!
You say its srpd36k1, I think its srpd63k1 0:45
yes sir please I want to purchase one sports Seiko 5 wrist watch Jubilee bracelet
You are lucky the safety lock closes and remains closed. Mine bought for skx from Strapcode opens by itself when on wrist. Let alone the most annoying sharp edges.
I saw like 12 models yesterday and i have to say i really liked the new 5ks, but the still have misaligned chapter rings and insert bezels.
I bought this same 3D super jubilee for my SKX009. The one i bought has the smaller buckle with 3 hole adjustment it has the oem look. I dont like the v buckle. Its the same buckle on the angus jubilee because the angus links are too think. The super J is closer to the oem version and doesnt overpower the watch.
Good objective review. I subscribed.
@Fit OutPost: Thank you very much!
the long lugs of the endlinks are horrible
Wrong. They look beautiful
Did they just take a strap code SKX jubilee bracelet and add curved spring bars to make the end links fit??? If so, that’s a genius (and kind of evil) way to make people buy the same bracelet twice.
great vid thanks just grabbed another fivekx
Thank you very much for your comment! BTW: Your channel is excellent!
I prefer the Angus J- Louis for this watch, mostly because it has a female end link design that fits smaller wrists better and looks more premium. If I were to fault Strapcode or suggest where they can best improve it would be the endlinks and making sure their brushing matches the cases their straps are made for. Good product but def room for improvement or a 2 tier business model entry level and premium.
Thank you very much for sharing your opinion with us. I just ordered the OEM-Skx/stock Seiko bracelet and must say it’s a bit flimsy but even more comfortable than the Strapcode and comes with female end links.
Chapter ring oh chapter ring why dont you line up with the bezel?
... to prove that’s a real Seiko😂
@@watchyouwant1617 indeed!
Thanks for sharing !
You‘re welcome!
Love these AliExpress bracelets
I need a new bracelet for my Seiko 5 Pepsi!
The center links when you rub your fingers side to side are kinda sharp.thats my only flaw.
Helpful video great job
Thank you very much! That’s good to hear!
Helpful review since I have the same watch and want to buy the same bracelet. However at Strapcode's checkout I didn't proceed because: strap $69.99 + shipping $25 (no mail available, only Fedex) plus a mysterious $25 "tax" (WTF?) , total $118 (!!). On top of that - since I too live in EU - I might be looking at additional VAT + duties, making the total cost close to the price of the watch itself, which is ludicrous. I would be very interested to know how long it took from HK to Germany and if Fedex charged any extra for customs? Thanks!
Thank you for your comment!
With „tax“ they probably address the import duties, since I didn’t have to pay any additional duties (as a result I didn’t have to pay anything to FedEx). The shipping with FedEx was fast as lightning and only took 5 or 6 days. Even though the price is quite high with all the added costs, I was quiet happy with the buying experience.
Maybe try watchgecko.Com instead?
Good review my friend, subbed 👍🇬🇧
@Peter Stone: Thank you for your feedback and for subscribing!
Was my bait watch at the club and the strippers thought it was a green hulk from a distance-got some good action that night.
The „Green Money Seiko“😎👍🏻
Douche, lol 😂
I here all you need is new curved pins and you can swop the old one on. Can you do a video on that?
@YouYouYou**Marathon Series** : I’ve sold the bracelet version of the SKX (long story) and only have it on the rubber strap so I‘m unfortunately unable to try the Seiko Jubilee on the SRPD. But I‘ll try to put on the new Strapcode on the SKX. Then we‘ll see.
&GaryGuevara: Thanks! I’ll try it!
great video, could I have the product link please
Thanks
I've got a SRPD Seiko Sports aka 5KX, with a silcone band. No problem switching to stainless steel? I know StrapCode has compatible bands for the "5KX". Not a "modder" by any means but I do like the idea of switching bands, in this case going steel.
The stainless steel (that fits) is a good addition to the watch
Gutes Video. Danke.
Do you still have a play in the end link? Curious how you manage it
I don’t understand. What kind of bracelet fit on SEIKO 5. I bought this bracelet for SRPD, but it doesn’t fit on my SEIKO 5. Why?
hello,
first of all the watch looks great, i will be purchasing one soon.
Just a couple of questions, i am looking at the same strapcode bracelet but in two tone (which is for the SKX007) however, strapcode say with the addition of the curved spring bars which can be purchased separately it will fit the new Seiko 5 series. How come one of your end links has next to no play but the other has some play? is this because of a slight difference in the curved spring bars you installed?
Also, how does it feel to wear with the play in the end link? i imagine you cant tell when the watch it fitted properly to your wrist?
Thanks.
@Joe Lloyd: I used the curved spring bars delivered by Strapcode. After a little bit of wear they settled in nicely and the gap isn’t there anymore. The bracelet is really comfortable and as far as I know the two-tone should fit to the watch:
www.strapcode.com/collections/replacement-band-for-seiko-5-sports-5s-srpb
(pictures of the new Seiko 5 series with the two tone can be seen here).
Hope this helps a little. Thank you very much for your question!
@@watchyouwant1617 Cheers for the reply, this really helps. Great review by the way!
Hi, thank you very much for this video, very helpful and informative :) I got the same watch, and thinking to buy Jubilee bracelet. I've listened what you said and read the comments sections from other people and thinking is there any better option than the strapcode ? or for now strapcode provides the best quality ? (not thinking from the price perspective) I would really appreciate if you will reply.
Honestly right now I would buy the stock SKX jubilee if it fits on the Seiko 5. It‘s cheap and the most comfortable bracelet i’ve worn so far (also compared to Rolex and Omega, Tudor etc.). Thank you very much for your comment!
@@watchyouwant1617 Thanks for the response ✊ how do you think are the bracelets made for SKX going to fit seiko srpd63K1 ?
@@nurbolatzhumadilda1070 Unfortunately I don’t have the Seiko 5 anymore so I can’t try it myself but I guess that it should fit
@Nurbolat Did the stock SKX jubilee fit in your SRPD? I just ordered the strapcode one because i read comments about bending (on Amazon) the stock one to fit in the new SRPD watches
Great videos just ordered this for my pepsi. Did you use straight or bent spring bars for the best fit? Thanks
I‘ve used the standard ones that came with the watch respectively the bracelet
@@watchyouwant1617 brilliant thanks for your reply
Did you try other bars first to settle on using the stock ones or ?
@@soundscaperecordings1111 no, at that point I didn’t know that maybe slightly curved springbars are available
jubilee on 5kx ❤
Is this jubelee better then the original seiko jubilee? An did it weight more?
At first sight quality wise, yes. Just because it feels more substantial. But in the end I would always recommend the original Seiko jubilee because it’s lighter, more comfortable and - believe it or not - the less substantial feel seems to fit just better to the watch that isn’t that heavy or big. Especially the thin side profile of the Seiko jubilee simply works better for me. In short: I would always buy the Seiko jubilee again
@@watchyouwant1617 thanks
I will never trust strapcode straps again, for the money you pay, you expect premium bracelets. I have an skx013 bracelet from them, the endlink is too long for the lugs and protrudes out. They did not get a prototype made to test it seems and just went to production from a cad model.
Thanks for sharing your experiences!
Looks more luxury
KEHAK NASI: absolutely!
Is the original size bracelet fit to Seiko 5 watch?
guys anybody knows where to get the bracelet cheaper for this watch ? especially in eu, but all propositions will be appreciated
Meinst du die Uhr passt auf einen 19cm Armumfang?
Kaizer Beelzebub nein. du musst etwas abnehmen oder Fett absaugen.
Hello,
Can we use super jubilee bracelet for Seiko 5 sports suite watch SRPD73
Please reply..
Thank you
@Sumit Mahadik: with the curved spring bars (that are necessary) it should fit on the SRPD73 like it fits on all SRPD Seiko 5s.
So the bracelet is for an skx but it will fit the srpd using the curved pins?
I don’t have the watch anymore but as far as I remember it fitted with the also supplied straight spring bars.
Please give the link to order jubilee
Can u provide link to where or what site you bought the bracelet pls. Thanks
@Yhonez Jorsie: I’ve bought it directly from Strapcode’s website
Christoph Waltz?!
@latuman: No, I‘m sorry for disappointing you😂
Does the bracelet taper @ the clasp ?
did you find it hard to fit the endlinks on? i got one from miltat with the same model but the endlinks are impossible to fit in the lugs
Yes, it was really hard.
Excuse me if i missed the information in the video, but may i know what size wrist you are? :)
Just little under 7 inches
@@watchyouwant1617 Thank you for the fast asnwer!
The end links looks horrible.. Do they also offer a jubilee without that ugly endlink??
None, as far as I know
So did the endlink fits perfectly on the lug?
Yes, it did
Does seiko 44G1JZ jubilee fit ?
Is it possible to use that strap in other brands with 22mm size??
Probably not. It depends on the design of the lugs. As mentioned it can be used with the SKX007.
Where is available this jubilee bracelet in India
Go to strapcode‘s website
Hi is the super jubilee 3d bracelet compatible with all new 5 sport models? Thnaks
@Francesco B: haven’t tried it personally but this is what they say on the Strapcode website. And I think that all SRPD-series cases have the same dimensions, so I’m pretty confident that it should fit to all new SRPD-series Seiko 5s. Best regards
@@watchyouwant1617 thanks bro
Braclet is better quality then the watch )) Clasp looks super long .
hi, can you send many pictures of this watch, I will take this bracelet but there are not so many pictures and videos on the internet :(
especially I want to see photos from the front
I recommend my other video, where you’ll see more viewing angles:
czcams.com/video/HJ40zZnZ_cQ/video.html
How do you swap this bracelet out? Can anyone point me to a video guide or something haha. Trying to remove the original bracelet. Because i have this exact model watch but i dont see anything at the bracelet ends to even grip onto with my tool. (watch noob here)
You have to make sure, that you‘ll grab the „sleeve“ of the spring bar with your tool and push it away from the lug in order to get it out. You’ll have to use a good amount of force to do so
Personal opinion - original stock looked better.
$70 dollars for a bracelet and it has that much play! I'd be raging! Not acceptable!
Jubilee bracelets are pretty known for that.
@@sole__doubt Yep, I thought that's pretty much why you even get a jubilee.
uhhh thats the whole point of a jubilee bruh
You’d be raging over a watch bracelet? Maybe they need to increase your medication?
U got big hands or small? I'm thinking to buy this.
@MR. Car Thick: my hands are medium sized but rather small than big.
So we cant use the same strap from skx007 ?
As long as you have/use curved spring bars
Please
Can I use this Strap for SKX 007 ?
&Captain America: yes, you can😊. Just check my other video: czcams.com/video/HJ40zZnZ_cQ/video.html
I think this bracelet would be more fine with pepsi dial
Prefer original bracelet.
Doesn’t taper to 18mm??😳🙁😩
Sorry, maybe I confused the facts here. It does taper to 18mm.
Like bro.
