The also look fantastic with a sharks mesh bracelet

Not my picture, or watch, but a great photo

Original bracelet is, I think, an 1170 with 618 ends. Although, in this advertising picture it seems that this case style (unlike perhaps the "Pilot" style one) was just as happy to be on a nice strap.

Congratulations on the catch. It's a great watch - functional and technically interesting.

Thanks for the replies guys.

I almost always wear watches on leather straps, but somehow the case shape on these seems to suit bracelets better so I might go that way. Would be nice to find a correct one so perhaps time to go looking for a 1170/618.

If I go for leather, then colour matching the orange is a bit too contrived for my taste. I know that picking out bright highlights looks good, but to my mind it ends up making a vintage watch look like a modern watch. It might pick out a more subdued colour though, like the gray from the dial or the lume. I have a Sherpa Graph with strap stitching that pickes up on the tachometer-ring colour and I'm happy with the overall look on that one (I think using red thread to pick out the lollipop hand would have looked too much).

And fingers crossed it is a Sinn bracelet... that way it might even pay for it's replacement 👍
