·I had intended to sell this with my vintage Speedmaster recently, but the buyer decided to buy the watch only. So now I have for sale a 1039 bracelet with 516 ends in near mint condition. Clasp is stamped 1039 but undated. Per MWO the 1039/516 is correct for 105.012-66, 145.012, and 145022-68, -69, -71.
This bracelet was sold to me in 2017 as NOS. I am skeptical of NOS claims but it arrived in fantastic condition and it was worn very sparingly since, so I’ll be conservative and call it near mint. .
It operates as a bracelet should, but I do want to point out two things. First, the clasp is pretty stiff – meaning the hinges don’t flip back and forth freely like some do. I think this is a good thing. Second, the clasp has popped open on occasion while wearing the bracelet tightly. But since the clasp hinges are so stiff, the watch stayed very secure on my wrist. The clasp could be ‘adjusted’ by bending the edges of the outer clasp to make it close tighter, but I never bothered. If what I am trying to describe isn’t making any sense I’d be happy to send a video of the clasp in action illustrating what I mean.

Buyer
I prefer selling domestically to keep things simple. I will sell internationally on a case by case basis (in other words, buyer needs solid recent references and must accept full customs declaration and cover extra shipping cost). Buyer must have solid references.
