Uncle's notes

Before the beloved SARB03x series was released, there was a precursor sold only in Japan. These JDM (Japanese Domestic Market) models were labeled as SCVS001 and SCVS003, and they came with a very unique bracelet that never appeared on any of the later iterations. Since I didn't know what to call it, I posed the question on Instagram and ask my Nephews to vote. The most popular submission was "The Continental."

This is undoubtedly the nicest SARB bracelet I have produced to date. Not only is it unique looking, but it's sturdy and weighty, in all the best ways possible. If you only plan to buy one aftermarket bracelet for your SARB, this should be the one. 

The Continental comes with solid end-links and a milled clasp. I am also including an additional clasp with 3 micro-adjustments (not pictured) so as to not repeat Seiko's mistake and create a bunch of unhappy fans who can't seem the get the right fit. This will cover all your bases and make sure you truly enjoy wearing it.

Processing, Tracking & Insurance

Please allow 1-2 days for processing time.  All of our shipping options include tracking and insurance. First Class International may have limited tracking options depending on destination. 

PLEASE NOTE: If you are an international customer and you chose USPS as the carrier, it is common for the package to sit for 2-3 weeks at a distribution center in Los Angeles. Nothing is wrong and it is not lost. This is where they wait for flights. If you prefer something faster, please select Fedex, which is 3-5 days to your door.

Customs

As of July 1, 2021, all orders shipped to the EU will require a value added tax (VAT) to be paid by the recipient at time of delivery.  Other international orders may require a customs duty once reaching their destination. These fees are a separate charge often imposed by the destination country or region and are not the responsibility of Uncle Seiko.

PLEASE NOTE:  I am aware that many countries charge a large import fee on top of the purchase price. This money is collected at the time of delivery and has nothing to do with Uncle Seiko Straps. Because the fees are based on the price of the item, it is advantageous for buyers to request a lower price recorded on the customs form. However, I cannot alter the price. In the U.S. it is considered a crime (mail fraud). Thank you for understanding. 

German Customers

When USPS packages arrive at the customs office in your country, they are marked as delivered. What typically happens is that within the next few days, they contact you to pay import fees to receive the package. If you have not received your package and it shows as delivered, do not be alarmed, as they should be contacting you soon.
