This is my little beauty left to me by my late father, an ex SAAF fighter pilot.

I would like to know if the clasp bracket style strap was an original issue from Nivada Grenchen or is it an aftermarket addition which my dad may have had fitted himself ?
Any info would be much appreciated, thanks in advance !

Great watch, but no, that's not a factory bracelet.

It is period correct though so it may have come on leather and your father wanted something stainless shortly after buying it.

Not gonna lie: that bracelet looks like a medieval torture device to me.

Love the watch, though!

I quite like the look of it as it is quite different and fits pretty comfortably, also slips under a shirt cuff with ease.
