Hello and merry Christmas! I ordered the black dial version of this watch and i will receive it at the beginning of January. I am a bit confused if it hasa the stp1-11 movement or the stp3-13? What model is the one of yours with the 3-13 inside?

Just saw a picture of the bell Matic with the same bracelet. That’s a good looking watch. The bracelet on my black lord Matic came with the silver dial 5606-5000. I bought the silver dial Seiko just for the bracelet. It is a 20mm bracelet. Just from the pic I saw of the bellmatic it looks to me to be an 18mm bracelet. But I could be wrong. The end links came with the bracelet. Perhaps by finding a broken watch with the bracelet is your best bet to get a good price but that could mean waiting for that to happen. Or do like I did and buy a watch just for the bracelet. I’ve done it few times already. Good luck and thanks for watching and dropping a comment.
