I was looking for a more classic look to complement the "Rolex" cues on the Orient Saturation Diver, so I oped to take off the Super Engineer II and put on the Endmill, both bracelets by Strapcode, which has been offering high quality bracelets on Amazon for a reasonable price.
I had two links taken off the Endmill but need another link taken off because it's a bit loose, causing the crown and case to dig into my hand.
So what am I going to do with the 2mm Super Engineer II? I'm chomping at the bit to buy the Seiko Solar Fieldmaster SBDL021, take off the rubber strap and put on that SEII.
Hi Randall. Understand you want to sell the HF 150. I see it has the lighted dial. I also have the same model and was wondering where can you get the light installed?
Regards, Jerry

Speaking of the bracelet sizing blues, my new Invicta Venom with a stainless band has done a number on my hand too. First, it was too large, banging down on my hand as you describe. I went to my girl at the mall and she talked me into taking two links out (complicated links----two pins per link, long and short, pieced together like a puzzle). Anyway, when she was done, it felt good at the mall---but later, was digging into a bone on my wrist. I think it might be a weight thing I just have to get used to---this thing is like a heavy lead weight. She was convincing that adding another link would make it too large again and it would still slip----I think even if she adjusted the clasp in (it's at it's furthest setting out). I will wear it again tomorrow and decide whether I want to try another adjustment. I hate having them mess with it though.

The Endmill has a bit of a bubbly look, doesn't it? Anyhow, as I said, you seem to have the same issue with the OSD as I have with the Sumo - don't like the stock bracelet and can't find a good replacement.
Have you considered wearing it on rubber?

While I considered rubber, I'm now thinking the conventional Rolex cues might be better served with a bracelet affording the OSD striking contrast: a shark mesh bracelet. So that's next. Just a little watch drama to keep me occupied.

Buying new bracelets (and learning how to change them yourself, ahem) is a helluva lot cheaper than buying a new watch every two or three weeks.

Original oyster bracelet is nice but lacks some heft IMO and is tapering. I think this watch would look great on SE type I better then type II or even hexad; endmill doesnt attracks me here
To bad I cant find any phot with OSD and SE type I
