And I am not a fan of the GS bracelets either.
But a cheap jubilee on a SKX is surprisingly comfortable. And looks quite nice.
It is partly what drew me to trying out the SKX.. I also wanted to see if a jubilee will sit well with me as I'm more an oyster bracelet kinda guy.
If you read enough Seiko articles, you'd glean that it's kind of a "thing" with the SKX009 to have it on a bracelet. And you'll get what they're all saying once you have it on your wrist.
The only time i'd wear a bracelet on a Seiko is on my SKX and on my Atlas. All other times, I go with the flat rubber straps from Seiya.
Go try it, Tim. You might be pleasantly surprised.
Best, Echi
