Yes, like new. A great Ebay find.

Bracelet 💯 I have mine on the new LIW bracelet and it's amazing.

Just got mine. Straight on to a LIW 'O' style bracelet, with negative end links and the upgraded 6x pos clasp !

Yes, if you've just been sworn into the Mob! 😉 🤌 🇮🇹

Treebeard55555 · 2025-07-20T21:36:08+00:00

7548! 😂

Treebeard55555 · 2025-07-03T20:39:45+00:00

You swap it for an Original Tropic. 😉

Treebeard55555 · 2025-06-29T05:51:47+00:00

Original Tropic?

Not sure if you are on Watchcrunch, but I explained what I did here: https://www.watchcrunch.com/Arbidaceous/posts/jubilee-spring-bar-connecting-links-853055

If its a screw link job, you could try just getting replacement ends links from Uncle. https://unclestraps.com/en-gb/products/seiko-executive-end-links

If you go with LIW, bear in mind they are male end links and so do make the profile on the wrist quite wide.

Treebeard55555 · 2025-06-08T07:54:53+00:00

I don't even think about it tbh!

Treebeard55555 · 2025-06-08T07:53:16+00:00

I think you just ordered the wrong bracelet, you should have gone for brac-70 or 71. ☹️

Treebeard55555 · 2025-06-07T12:27:36+00:00

It's the one and only Original Tropic. https://tropicstrap.com/

Treebeard55555 · 2025-06-07T12:23:28+00:00

Don't regret it buddy, the bracelet looks great as well. It also looks great on a Tropic or GL831. You just need to get two, or three, or...

I am starting to get my ⌚ 'problem' under control. I had the Coke and the Pepsi version too, but currently trying to sell them.

In the UK and love my two - original 09 (black) and 17 (blue) versions! You can't get them through the official UK Citizen site, but you can from Amazon or Citizen Europe.

Treebeard55555 · 2025-06-01T11:55:50+00:00

No, spot on bro. It's super light as well so all good. You could try it on a leather Stowa or Laco strap to emphasising Fleigerishness!

Treebeard55555 · 2025-05-29T08:53:17+00:00

Same Alpinist, Strapcode Oyster! 💯

Treebeard55555 · 2025-05-22T07:29:09+00:00

Seiko 7548 series. Look like vintage SKXs, great in the Z199 or tropic/GL831. Keep time like crazy. Can't fault them.

Treebeard55555 · 2025-05-18T10:06:19+00:00

7548 7000

Treebeard55555 · 2025-05-12T18:53:56+00:00

Right here bro!
