Gilden Unisex Non-Expansion 18-26mm Extra-Long Stainless Steel Watch Band 1542

Good reasonably priced band. It's long, but can be adjusted, and spring beam links taken out if needed. You can find videos on how to remove links....

Good thing about this bracelet is the finish on it. Nice high polish all around and looks beautiful like a jubilee bracelet should look. Bad thing is that the bracelet feels cheap and flimsy when you grab it. In the end however, other people aren't going to be grabbing your watch to feel how cheap it feels. For this reason, it is a great buy for a jubilee bracelet at this price.

Feels good but it doesn’t really fit my watch anything Over 19mm will look funny/freakish. Will move around and not look right. If you are looking for something to do a 21mm watch just spend the extra cash from the website you bought your watch from. If your like me looking for something for your bambino just leave the leather strap on your watch or just buy another one from orient and just save all the frustration and time. Not worth it 3 hours fitting it then figuring out it looks weird because of the band not really fitting and moves around a lot from the lugs just buy a 20mm band and put the same bars through it and it will look more natural then this band.

It is cheaply made and was cheap to purchase. If you are looking for a heavier, quality feel, please skip this. Using it as a hold over until I can acquire a better quality bracelet that isn’t $70 plus. The dynamic lug was nice but it was struggle to resize without feeling you were going to break a tool or the band.

The two-tone brushed outside and polished inner finish was well done. Overall, the mechanics were solid. I had to remove 4 links so it would fit my small wrist. That meant removing four link pins and replacing two of them. Removing the pins was not as easy as depicted in the video but eventually I got it done. A locking lever keeps the band from inadvertently opening and that lever is pretty stiff for the first few times but soon loosens up. If you are short on patience or mechanical ability, you can have your jeweler fit it for you.

The bracelet pins were super tight and took me about 1-2 hours to adjust to the right length, and the clasp is wayy to tight to unclip without a pry tool of some sort. The bracelet is realtivly comfortable and looks alright for the money. But just too hard to wear without having a way to tool or something to pry it off with.

I liked the style of the band, however it was to small at it's largest opening.

For the price it's pretty good, but the extra-long size of the bracelet means I have to take out every single spare link to make it fit my 6.5" wrist — and that's after mounting it on a watch that's only 38mm. If you have small wrists I wouldn't recommend this bracelet. The clasp also feels pretty chintzy, but I guess the important thing is that it's functional and it looks nice enough, which for under $20 this definitely does. Of course you're getting hollow center links and folded end links, but what do you expect for $16? At arm's length, it all looks plenty fine and wears comfortably. On the basis of value/price I'd say go for it; there are better options in the $20-30 range that I plan to purchase (fitting said bracelet to a watch that's under $200, don't want to spend TOO much) but THIS bracelet always seems to be available... so here we are.

Great bracelet for the price

The clasp was obviously low quality and very stiff, and overall, the bracelet felt light and flimsy. It looked like what I should have for the price point. I discarded it after a few days.

Bought this for a vintage Seiko 7006-7090 and it fits the watch quite well in my opinion. For the money it is a decent bracelet with a some caveats: * As others mentioned adjusting is not that easy. This is mainly because it does not have the more common type of pins that can be pushed out using a standard link adjustment tool. Instead one has to push out from the inside/middle of the band positioning the tool at an angle against the link which is a bit tricky - but can be done. It took me about 20min to take out some links from both sides. Please check the photo posted by another buyer showing a link with the pin pushed out. * The pin holding the clasp fold protector is a tad longer hence wiggles a bit (less than 1mm though). * Since the side extensions covering the lugs are spring-loaded the bracelet will move from side to side - more or less depending on the watch lug width. In my case that is not a problem given the 19mm lug width, however for wider ones this may be annoying - if one cares about that of course. All in all this is a very good bracelet for the money and personally I also like the way it looks.

Very cheap quality

Decent jubilee bracelet for the price. It helps keep that retro look I was looking for. The clasp was difficult to open out of the box so I had to file down the connecting pieces to make them less pronounced. The bracelet also has folded links which are a pain to size and can pull hairs but that is what you sign up for with a folded links bracelet.
