Hi, I rescued an old and all original Accurist Super Waterproof 300.
I had the bracelet sized for me but the clasp is shot and it is not great quality.
I am a bit OCD when it comes to bracelets and straps - I don't tend to change them up / I usually stick with the manufacturers original. JB Champion is an exception for the Speedy.

I am based in the UK / I don't want to spend the earth - but I would like to give this some more wrist time.
Any recommendations for something similar / easy to size (it would be hard to fit links back in the original bracelet - bit of a distructive process)

Thanks for any help and suggestions (19mm lugs) and a 39mm case

 

Perhaps a vintage 19mm black rubber Tropic or an Isophrane?

 

Possible although I don't plan any underwater trips with this one. I am really looking at suggestions for a similar style SS Bracelet to the original (but better quality) - any suitable suggestions appreciated.

 

Are you sure that this is the correct bracelet in the first place?

 

Thanks for the reply - I got some history with the watch / it had been in a drawer broken for a long time. One owner from new and bought around 1969. I would say a high probability this was the original. They bought it from a catalogue back in the day.

 

I think you will have to be lucky to find a similar bracelet in good condition as it most likely is a generic bracelet matched to the watch at the point of sale, so searching it out online will be difficult.

 

Also I had done some digging (69/70/71 catalogues of the time) I could not find that specific watch but Accurist was sold via those channels and the strap style seems to match some divers on offer.

 

That advert is all kinds of amazing

EDIT: for what it is worth, you could expand your search to bracelets less than 19mm; it looks as if the last links of the bracelet is somewhat narrower than the end links, so probably 17-18mm.

 

Thanks - I will have a hunt around / cheers for the tips.
