Beautiful watch. I picked up 2, one for me and one for a gift to my Dad.
The correct bracelet is the Seiko D3A7AB . Available on eBay from seller 7_jp773.

KahanaI got this watch for my boyfriend in the last drop and he loves it. The strap is beautiful but apparently not the most comfortable. I want to get him a metal bracelet for it. I know nothing about watches. Will any 20mm SS band fit or does it have to be the D3A7AB?

DeniseEmiliaIt would depend on the lug arrangement, which I can't see. Take the strap off, and then install just the springbar. How much space is there between the springbar and watch case? If less than around 2mm, most generic bracelets probably won't fit. When shopping for a bracelet look for a measurement that shows this space, and if it is not visible in the listing ask the vendor for clarification to avoid disappointment. And if it will fit, understand that you would need a straight-ended bracelet and not a curved one unless it was specifically designed for that watch. You won't be able to obtain a cohesively integrated look otherwise. Straight ended bracelets can look nice on a watch when the combo is carefully chosen.
