·Dear OF members.
A while ago I sold this increadibly cool watchmaking school of Solothurn version of the Heuer Carrera 1153S. This particular watch was an end of studies project that would crown 5 whole years of dedicated studies in the aforementioned school near Grenchen.
As expected, the parts used are all supplied by Heuer such as the case, case back, pushers, bracelet and probably the blank dial which would later display the school’s name. Curiously, these Slothurn « Carreras » came with a Hamilton Cal.12 inside instead of a Heuer signed one.
As the title implies, I would need advice about the bracelet, as the buyer found it a bit small for his wrist. Ideally I think our best bet is to find spare links for this elongated BOR type which I imagine, would extremely hard (if not impossible) to find.
I cannot post a thread in the WTB section of the forum but any leads on spare links would be greatly appreciated. Alternatively, I welcome any further suggestions to expand the bracelet by a few centimeters for example, by using some kind of clasp extension etc.
Thank you all in advance and best regards from Luzern.
Stefan.
