Here's mine on a Speidel expansion band. I had it on a beads of rice type bracelet that was old and beat up and streched out. Anyone else have one on an expansion band?

I have a 18mm Omega fixoflex band made for 166.041 Geneve's

It fits the lugs 1:1 and I kinda enjoy the 0.5mm space on the sides

Even on a stainless steel case I would not use a bracelet with spring loaded ends. Good way to chew up the inside of the lugs.

Yea that’s always a big concern for me too, they can damage them in ways that are still visible when you go back to a strap later on

I will continue to show this horror show as a cautionary every time someone mentions spring loaded endlinks

That Bulova looks like it chased a fart through a keg of nails. The chewed lugs are the least of it's worries.

Again, let's see your 168.029.

I can see @kaplan is going to have another (friendly) rival...

@noless is actually my partner in crime 😀 I have my favourite 168.029 thanks to him

Let me contribute a rose gold 168.029 to the thread:

I got this one very early on, didn't realise how uncommon they were going to be, a week later another one in slightly better shape with the rose gold 1040 was auctioned, should've got that one too, so hard to find rose gold bracelets

I’m gonna be a little sappy here, but this is why I love this place- we are always looking out for each other. We see something we know someone else would like and we share it.
