Ordered two bezel inserts during the 2025 holiday sale and they arrived promptly, which was surprising for an international shipment. The quality of both bezel inserts was evident upon unpacking. They... See more

The on-the-fly link is the perfect accessory to my vintage “meters first” 5513. The bracelet now fits perfectly in warm or cold weather. Before, it had to be compromise-adjusted to be too loose for co... See more

I placed an order for a Grand Seiko…

I placed an order for a Grand Seiko link in September of 2025. It is now getting towards the end of April 2026. No updates, zero estimate as to when this item will be available and ship. It now appears as though my purchase was simply a donation rather than a transaction. I am not sure if I will ever receive my order.

AT THIS POINT, I CANNOT, IN GOOD FAITH, RECOMMEND THIS COMPANY TO ANYONE.

Proceed with Caution

Proceed with caution. My first order got lost. They resent another order and that has been tied up in customs for over 2 weeks. They use the cheapest, most unreliable shipping with multiple middlemen. Worst customer service I’ve ever experienced. This company won’t be around much longer if they can’t figure out their logistics. Overall the worst experience I’ve ever had purchasing any product. -5 out of 5 star.

They keep taking orders, but 5 month's later no delivery...

Pre-Ordered in November 2025 for january delivery, still no 'On The Fly' link for my BB58 Tudor. They keep delaying the delivery, because of "production issues". Weird thing is that all this time they still took pre-orders. So they are taking money, but not delivering. Last update I got is that they hope to ship it beginning of May.

I can understand production issues, but still taking on new orders gives mixed signals. I do not trust this company fully anymore.

Steel Reef are terrible

Steel Reef are terrible. I paid for my Grand Seiko Swiftlink in April 2025. Delivery was supposed to be summer to autumn 2025. In November, they said it would be delivered the first few months of 2026. Just got an email on 3 April 2026 saying production won't even begin until June 2026! Despite my repeated requests, they refuse to provide a date of when the item.i ordered will be delivered!

Incredible Quality

Incredible Quality, fit perfectly, and looks 100% OEM. If you don't have the extension link on your Zulu Time, it's almost not complete. Great addition and 100% worth the money!

Great product

Quick service, worked as advertized and couldn't be happier. Would have given 5 stars if bead-blast finish was available for Sinn models!

Basically an elaborate scam

Basically an elaborate scam, following all the established steps: gaining trust, asking for the money, keeping up the momentum, several postponements and then radio silence.

Company makes excellent products

Company makes excellent products. The half link fit my Rolex perfectly. If I were Rolex I would buy this company since Rolex does not make half links for the Explorer 2 bracelet.Great company to work with. I would use them again anytime.
