Great, honest, earnest, humble, informative, well spoken, ego-free narration. Attention to details without all the hype, flash, and fluff. Well done sir! I also like "...I have the smallest wrist in the watch community." Good stuff, man :) All true, these are great straps. I received my first as an add in on a previously owned watch. I have since purchased at least 6 sets for other watches. All of them look, fit and feel so Awesome and comfortable now.

I own a Seiko SPB053 (SBDC053) which is almost the same watch except for the colour of the bezel, dial, and hands. That Barton Elite Silicone Band is one of the most beautiful straps I have ever seen and I believe it would look good on my watch. I'm just wondering if would it be possible to replace those spring bars with Seiko 2.5mm "Fat" Spring Bars?

I like the Barton Elite but those thin springbars are a deal breaker because 2.5mm springbars don't fit in to the strap and specially when you have the divecore HP option which is designed to have 2.5mm fat bars. www.divecorestore.com/product/divecore-high-performance-strap

@@watchroll3310 I finally called Barton and asked them, if it would be possible to install a Seiko Fat Spring Bars in Barton Elite Silicone Band. I told them that I liked the unique colour of their silicone band and I believed it would be a perfect match for my Seiko SPB053 but I don't want to make any unnecessary wear or damage to my watch. A day or two later I got an email from them reassuring me that it was possible to install thicker Seiko Spring Bars with the help of a drop of dishwasher soap. I think it is worth trying so I ordered the same silicone band plus their Navy Blue Elite Fkm Rubber Watch Band. I only wish they would offer a rubber band in the same colour.

If you dont change out the spring bars on a seiko watch it will wallow out the holes and ruin your expensive watch...
