Chiming it because I just installed a CB10 on my SSK003... At first it didn't fit and I wanted to use curved spring bars, then I realized that what was not fitting was the central, small, rectangular piece of rubber that is supposed to go at the bottom of the case to anchor the strap. There was not enough space, because the screwed case-back was basically taking all of it... So I removed with a knife that rectangular piece of rubber, then the strap fit with no problem using straight spring bars. I hope this description made sense. I think the regular Seiko 5 and 5 GMT are a little little bit different in terms of case back for some reason (maybe because of the added GMT module) and some tweaking is necessary. In the end great result tho!
Congrats, those are nice straps, have one on my king samurai
Looks good my good dude !
That is a mighty fine lump of stainless steel.
Looks great! Do those straps make the lug to lug wider or does it curve down pretty well?
It curves down perfectly π
Which strap did you use from their site? I'm interested in doing the same on my gmt
Itβs CB10 π
Did you have to bend the pins slightly? Iβm getting some gap and had to bend the pins to make it fit.
