Can never understand why some people think this looks good.

In my opinion that watch should be on a nice leather Raly strap. Metal bracelets should have end links that fit the case shape.

I’m a huge fan of curved end links on a curved lug.

Of course I have an exception. To my eyes, it’s ok, to others it might not be.
I couldn’t find a decent fitting curved bracelet that I liked in these, so I tried this out. Saw it like $5.50 on Aliexpress and tried it on the Kurono. I think I can live with it, so I ordered a few more for others I had trouble finding a curved link bracelet for.

The HMT Stellar is 42mm and a little heavy. This bracelet lightens it up.

A curved link to match is perfect and when I find one for these I will switch to it, but for now I can live with it.

Considering the style of the bracelet that doesn't look bad at all. Not like the picture I posted.

The length of lug is much shorter which leaves much less open space and improves the look.

Would this work?
I got a couple of these, 20mm and 18mm. Merkur wanted like 25 a piece, but I found this for so much cheaper. They aren’t bad, no hang down tail like the old ones, this one slides over and locks on itself.

I think so. Shorter logs on the watch and the style of bracelet seems more in line

some seikos like the turtle and tuna are quite forgiving with straight end bracelets because the lug space is rectangualr and the case side isnt circular. But then seikos have enough following to have good amount of endlinks for them.

Watch companies who dont produce proper endlinks for their bracelets are just lazy.
