More than likely, if you are watching my channel, you own this watch. . . the Seiko SNK809 military watch. Considered by many to be the gateway watch into the hobby. The biggest issue is there was never a good bracelet – until now!
This bracelet is the perfect reason to fall in love with your mighty SNK809K2 again!

Marc, that’s not only my first Seiko, but I’m wearing it right now! Blue dial. I have it on brown leather right now, but it’s just not right. The bracelet makes much more sense.
Shame more field style watches don't have sand blasted finishing.
I have two Citizen promasters. Brushed, its okay but that sand blasted look is so great on a tool watch.
Ya know don’t need this but damn it’s beautiful! Love my Snk809 (thanks Urban Gentry!) on a NATO but this Really elevates it.
I’m seeing the Snk800 series on Amazon from $175-$219 depending on the color. Amazing. Original MSRP was $185 and I got mine from Mark for $115 a few years ago. Just wild how scarcity breeds value.
🔥🔥🔥
Fantastic matching job! Please do an oyster for the Squale 1521 blasted!
I like the logo placement. I also think it would be cool if the logo or name was on a part of the clasp that gets hidden when you close the clasp.
Wish i didn't polish my watch. Otherwise, i would get this bracelet
When Marc says Trust me, I buy buy buy 😂😂😂😂
I have all 4 colors. Yes, they were my first dive into nice watches. I will be getting one of these bracelets.
Whats the chance you would do that same bracelet for the Seiko SNZG15j1? That would be awesome!!!
Looks bad ass. Getting that match on the bead blast is impressive.
LOVE IT
YES!!!
Will this bracelet fit the Ranger collab with your buddy?
snk385?
Got to add my vote for the Republic with the 9075.
Yeah, good luck getting that watch for $65 anymore.
Marc – please do one for SNZG15 – the other real classic man's size Seiko 🙂 –
I really know few people who put as much passion into what they do as you do.
Thank you so much Mark
I ❤ LIW
Don’t own the watch but I love that you’re supporting and helping the watch community bring their older collector pieces to a new level. Awesome.
nkuwan is best watch factory!!!
Yoooo!!! Another banger from Long Island Watch.
Just take my money Marc.
Appreciation. Precised match🤌
Fantastic match
Hi Mark. I love your channel. I’m curious if you can recommend a watch that looks like Blancpain 50 fathoms with 200m water resistance. Quartz probably as I don’t want to spend more than $100. I like a NATO band not bracelet. Every dive watch I see seems to look like Rolex sub or a Tudor black bay. Thanks
That’s a beautiful bracelet.
Yeah, the seiko is 150-250 euros. Im done whit these totally false titles.
Great bracelet.
But this video is a proper demonstration that the age old method of fitting metal bracelets with spring bars simply makes no sense. Even a pro like Marc struggles a bit not to scratch the case.
I would happily trader unlimited strap/bracelet options for a simple and reliable mechanism to secure bracelets to my watches (think Vacheron Constantin Overseas)
Marc, you've improved that watch 1000%.
Great job 👍.
Wait WHATT!!!? Islander Republic with 9075 did you say? That is the greatest news 👏
Mine is a K1, this looks to be a significant improvement, it's now with Double domed sapphire and wearing a milanese looking great. I've got an 803 and an 805 so one of these could serve on all three.
I’ve got 5 of these – can’t wait to add a bracelet (or two) to the collection. I’ve been looking for this for a long time…
Perosnally, it wouldn’ve been a better bracelet if the clasp is same as the original OEM one as I don’t like the generic double fold over clasp we see everywhere
That is so much better!!!
Excellent match!
