PVD Steel Bracelet for SPB257 Black Series Willard?

Guys,

First post here and have a question about how to go about getting a Seiko PVD coated black steel diver's bracelet for my incoming Black Series Willard (SPB257).

I currently have a SPB151 Willard and really like the three-fold clasp with diver extension. It fits and rides on my wrist very well; however, the incoming Willard comes with straps...and I prefer the steel bracelet as I just do not like straps.

From my research it appears some good aftermarket 20mm lug PVD bracelets are available but my first choice is to keep it "all Seiko" with a genuine Seiko bracelet. Is there any way I could order one from a Seiko AD...heck, would it even be available at all?

Second choice would be to get a standard Willard three-clasp bracelet and have a specialty company PVD coat it.

Any thoughts how to move forward on this?

Thanks!

No idea but I love my 153. Keep us posted. Uncle seiko has a president style that is made for the new Willard, if you need something to get coated.

Will do!

Am running down a spare parts bracelet for the SLA061 which is exactly what I am looking for and should be a perfect "drop in".
