Just got this over the weekend and can not find a similar one online, would love any information if anyone knows anything about it. Thanks and all the best!

Simply search Ebay. Might help to get closer to infos. Or also google for Fostner mesh bracelets, you might find a similar or same one. JB continued many of the Fostner Bracelets after they aquired Fostner in 1963.

JB Champion probably made hundreds if not thousands of different types of generic bracelets. What did you want to know exactly?

Thanks! I have spent a lot of time on ebay and can not find this exact match with the Number 12. I was really just looking to get more information on the bracelet as far as year and which brands it was for. I look under Fostner as I had yet to hear of them.

While JB Champion did make bracelets under contract for specific brands, the vast majority of them were generic, not made for or to fit any particular watch or brand.

This one looks like its probably from the 1960s.

Thanks for the info^^. I have seen some bracelets have decent value (the NASA ones) and was trying to see if I got lucky with a more valuable bracelet, but ultimately I do not care as I did not pay too much and will surely use it for something down the line.

Mesh appears more dressy than the BOR bracelets, but I like both.

There are many straight lug dress watches so you shouldn’t have difficulty matching one.

Be careful with yours, it easily creases being mini-mesh.(see right picture of your first picture )
