Someone sent me an SKX with a Seiko Jubilee knock off bracelet, my question is what do these bands sell for retail? This is the first one I ever saw/held in my hand. It looks exactly like Seiko’s proprietary Jubilee diver bracelet yet the links have no pins so you can’t subtract or add links, all adjustments are left to the clasp & FWIW, there are plenty of holes to make the band tighter.
