Bracelet looks like a z199 with modified endlinks. Good bracelet bro, I recommend you don't trash it if it is a z199
Watch looks v awesome. Worth the wait!

I thought it was a "normal" Seiko juniper bracelet with modded endlinks.

Is the Z199 rare ? Is there a marking on the bracelet identifying it as a Z199.

Thanks in advance.

The z199 is higher quality than the normal jubilee ones. The back of the endlinks should have the words 'z199'. But since yours has been modified to fit the 6309, I'm not sure if it would have been sawed off or something. The midlinks are not polished like the normal skx jubilee and are solid, not hollow. The clasp should also be stamped 'SQ'. Think you'll be able to tell the difference once you get it as the z199 just feels tighter and less flimsy. Image
