Hi,

This is my first post here, so please let me know if the post is not up to standards.

I have a couple of questions regarding a bracelet I got in a trade. The bracelet was originally fitted to a '62 SM300, and I understand this belongs to an early Speedy. The bracelet seems in decent shape. It looks like it has been polished, and it has a couple of dents and scratches.

Does it look original, and what woud you say is the value?

I can post more photos if necessary.

Regards, Erlend

 

Looks like the real deal. I am not familiar with #16 end pieces. What is measurement of the end pieces?

 

#16 end links were the first 20mm end links, paired with a 1506 bracelet (very similar to the 7912) and used with the early 105.012 Professional Speedies and 16x.024 Seamaster 300s.

 

It could be a 1506 with #16 end links that someone replaced with a 7912 clasp in order to sell it for more. You should measure the width of the last links on the bracelet - on the 7912 they should be 17.5 mm, on the 1506 they are wider as they are for 20 mm endlinks/lug width. The #16's aren't right for a 7912 in any regard. Either the end links are wrong or the clasp is.

 

Did someone say #16 ends on a Franken bracelet?

I'm all ears!

 

Thanks for the answers!

I'll post some more pictures with measurements later today.

 

Some more photos, with measures.

 

We have not seen a picture with the end pieces in place. Approximate value still yet to be determined. 17.5mm ??
Found these this morning:

Picture with endlinks. They are not attached, just placed there. I dont know how to attach them properly to the bracelet. The bracelet is 17,5mm on the end. The end link is 20mm.

 

I was afraid of that. The end links are much wider than the last links of the bracelet. I would wait for other opinions for a better evaluation of what you have.

 

Happy to discuss an easy way for you to offload this one.

 

After some consideration, i think i'll sell the bracelet, not sure about the end links since they are correct to my sm300(?).

I would appreciate a estimate of a realistic value of the bracelet, i know it is'nt a easy question to answer, sorry about that.

I really appreciate the help, thanks!

 

Stick it on eBay with plenty of pictures and all measurements if you want to sell. Best way to find its true value.
