Hi! I'm currently about to undertake a massive project, aiming to exactly replicate a missing case for a 1970s cal. 2003 AP Movement, Dial and hands I've picked up.


One problem I've faced is that all of these watches seem to use integral bracelets (impossible to find now), but I found one example of one using an integral leather strap [[IMAGES BELOW]]. I have no clue how these work, nor how to fit them into a case I'm designing. Any thoughts would he hugely appreciated on this project.


Note: I've done a mockup of how I think this may work. I feel unsure that it's correct though. Surely, screwing in a straight strap would make it too stiff, and it wouldn't be able to bend around the wearers wrist... Do these integral straps have a different end?


Thanks!
