Any fortune tellers around here? Is this a 1116/ 575?

Thanks for looking

To me your bracelet is a three piece link one instead of a five piece like 1116 or 1118, but it is hard to tell from one pic.

For comparism the pic below shows two of my bracelets, a 1118 top and 1116 bottom.



Kind regards Max

That's not a ridiculous amount of money to speculate on ;-)

The end links are probably not 575s though, unless these old Tissots had 20mm lug widths?

These bracelets were made by JB Champion and retailed by lots of folks; this bracelet's similar to what you'd see on some Bulova divers from the same time, along with some Zodiac (I've seen them on Olympuses). In my experience there are differences in each--end links, finishes, etc--but they're all very close.

Good point, they seem to have 19mm

19 mm. Then it could be a 1098 / 540 like this.
