Bracelet clasps are a major major Seiko weak point on anything below GS level. Just like the Turtle, I don't think that case style ever really looks right on a bracelet anyway, but IMO they're really starting to push their luck at the price points these new 6R divers are reaching. You can kind of accept it at £300, not so much >£1k.

Out of interest, what is the go-to small diver at around £1k? Seems like a tough price point where punters expectations will be high a but a manufacturer will have very little room for margin or compromise.

Yeah agree with all that. The clasps are always way too bulky as well and really mess with the form and finishing.

The clasp in particular feels cheaply done. Quite agricultural.
