How does everyone think these will look on vintage watches? on 33-34mm watches I think the vintage bonklips with 16mm links are perfect. My fear is that since this bracelet has 18mm links it might have a little too much visual mass on 34mm watches. It's the only thing holding me back at the moment.
While reading about the history of Bonklip bracelets, I saw on several forums the mention of a PDF document on the subject, which should be a good reference.
Unfortunately, all links to this document are now out of order.
Maybe some fellow OF member has this document?
I am looking for: THE-BONKLIP_HI-RES-1.pdf
(It was available from these two, now non working, links:

I think this is what you're looking for?
Curious, how do you get the Bonklip off with no drilled lugs? From what I understand the Bonklips don't have any notches on the ends for spring bar tool removal. Thanks!
The original ones didn’t, they literally “klipped” onto a fixed spring bar by having an open slot at the end- tube (can’t really call it a link) would snap over it- it was a brilliant bracelet solution for fixed bars.
The modern one does have little slots in the ends for a tool- so it’s like any other bracelet
