I have a No.12 on a 1068 BOR and also on another (otherwise un-numberes) BOR

 

No. 11 ....




Ciao, Gino

 

Huh so I'm actually still kind confused about this bracelet. We all seem to have settled on it being a 1069 for a vintage seamaster but the fact remains that it doesn't say 1069 anywhere, does that matter? Second, it has 47 endpieces, not 524, and the 47 endpieces measure 20mm, not 19mm. Which is also odd because there is a TON of slop when mounted on my speedmaster (20mm lugs) - see first pic in post.
Does that suggest a 1069 bracelet that was paired with 47 endpieces (20mm) instead of 524 (19mm) because it was being mounted on a speedmaster (20mm) and not a seamaster (19mm) ?
If so, then I guess the bracelet would work for a seamaster but maybe not the endpieces? I don't know enough about vintage seamaster lug sizes, are there both 19mm and 20mm or are they are they all 19mm?
I've had a bunch of people making offers on this, but I'm still not clear enough about what it is to make sure it's going to match their watch correctly, I don't want to be bouncing this thing around in the mail.
thx again

I would not know what to say... the absence of the ref on the clasp makes me think of a very old bracelet, the same for the only two-digits code on the endlink.
I would expect to find a three-digit code, like 547, in a more modern bracelet with a ref. but I have not found any and so I am not aware of and therefore... I don't know

Ciao, Gino

p.s. vintage seamaster lug sizes are of both 20mm and 19mm

 

Thanks Gino, I have similar thoughts on it being old due to things you mentioned.......

 

I Have a 145.022-69SP that my father bought new and it came with this bracelet. I can tell you that it is 100% original to my watch. I too have been trying to find out more about it. Seems it might be the rarest band out there from the lack of info on the net.
