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

The quality is so good (better IMO than the actual OEM Tudor bezel!). So many options for customisation, but also great for me as my original bezel’s pip dropped - so this was a lifesaver as it’s so much cheaper than going direct to Tudor!

Great shipping and comms from the owner also. Couldn’t rate it higher!

no delivery et no information

Still no delivery for an order placed in November. Customer service doesn't even bother to reply anymore. It is impossible to get a refund. The site is still offering its products. Avoid at all costs.

Seven months waiting, now being ignored.

Seven months waiting, now being ignored.

Ordered an Explorer half link in December 2025. When it arrived in February 2026, the centre link was polished, incorrect for the all-brushed Explorer bracelet.

Steel Reef acknowledged the fault and admitted it affected the entire batch. I was promised a replacement with the correct brushed finish. In April, they told me the corrected batch would be finished and shipped "later this month." No update since....

My replacement, promised since February, hasn't moved.

I sent three follow-up emails over the past weeks, giving them every opportunity to put things right. No response to any of them.

The product concept is good. The after-sales is non-existent once they have your money.

Not recommended - awful experience - paid 3mon ago still no product

I ordered an On the Fly Extension link for the Black Bay 58 at the beginning of March. At the time, delivery was expected end of March.

The order has been delayed at least three times. I have paid in full and still have not seen the product after 3 months.

The overall experience is truly awful. There had been absolutely no updates from Steel Reef (other than a non-stop stream emails from "Gabe" promoting other products that I did not order). I only receive an update after I email to ask them about the order status.

The product might be truly amazing. It doesn't matter because I don't have the product.

The purchasing experience has been miserable. I wouldn't recommend this to anyone.

No product delivered

I made an order on April 4th, and as of May 26th I still have nothing to show for it. Also, I asked them info by email about a month ago and was told it was a matter of a week or two. Stay away, it is an absolute scam!

I have pre-ordered a link for Grand Seiko in Feb 2025 and i still have not received it in May 2026.

Not sure what they're doing over there. Some emails have been sent to inform that there are delays over delays, currently "Spring 2026" is the latest expected release date.

Update: i have been contacted by the CEO,looks like the item is in manufacturing stage. If he believes in it, I do too so let’s see. He also offered a full refund.

Top quality

Frankly everything went smoothly, order a oyster half link, contacted them to modify the delivery address and they answered quickly, delivery was pretty fast, the link matches perfectly with my bracelet, top quality, i finally have the ideal fit for my watch (it took me 9 years to find a solution)

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!
