I believe balzebub71 bro is ordering from strapcode a suitable straight end lug bracelet for his Monster Sardine.

I am using leather strap currently...

I believe balzebub71 will be able to advice further on the bracelet he is planning to order.

The bracelet can be ordered from thong sia for around $70 to $80.

The answer is NO. Metal shroud had a lower profile compared to the plastic shroud of the old sardine. Furthermore if you inspect closely there is a thin slot that the bezel go through the metal shroud whereas the old plastics sardine shroud did not had.

I was there yesterday. Saw one but he said reserved. I have been deciding between this (SRP641) and the Kinectic GMT (SUN023), not sure which to get. I like the gold accent in the SRP641 but it seems overpriced for a 4r36 movement. The SUN023 has great depth and detail on the dial with Sapphire. I am however not sure about the reliability of Kinectic movement and also the bang for bud ratio. Anyone care to comment? Currently owner, how is the black coating holding up?

I saw quite a few 639 in ppc, also quite a number selling online.
I've got mine from another collector too.

the upcoming Sardines look ok for me but I wish Seiko use normal bezel like those of the 007s. May be Yobokies can come up with 1 again.
