·Greetings,
I have recently acquired this very tidy 5256-8000s with portions of the original bracelet. The end link number is XAB-830. The individual I got the watch from advised the portions were harvested, but would include the remnants with the sale. The head sits on a XAB-910 now, and I like it. Just looking for originality.
Seems like it’s a one year or so only run.
I was wondering what sites you are all using to find rare-ish parts. I’ve found some auction sites out of Japan, but not really sure how they work (mostly in Japanese). Any help with direction/sourcing would be super helpful. Buying a complete watch would be an option, but then I have another head unit without its bracelet. Hahaha.
Cheers!!
