    Hi OF,

    I have a beads of rice bracelet I just don't use. Time for a new home. It is the 3-row type with curved 18mm end pieces. The bracelet is in good condition, nice and shiny. Measures 6". The adjustment clasp is a bit rarer, I haven't seen many of these that slide like this. Maybe someone can share some info. It was sitting on my 50's Seamaster when I got it. The end pieces have no markings so I'm not sure if they are original or replacements and they will need to be fitted by your watchmaker as they are slightly misshapen from being installed and taken off.

    I'm asking $175USD including shipping in CONUS. Shipping worldwide (that means you too Canada! :D) at cost.

    I have one, the endlinks are never numbered on these and it seems like a very early one as it has only one slot on the side to get to the bar. Mine has a slot on both sides so this has got to be early 50's to mid 50's. Mine is from jb champion but this must be from a maker in another part of the world. They are rare and worth a good bit. You sold it dirt cheap.

    I saw one for sale recently in Hong Kong for $250 and tipped off a collector of these. The assumption is that these were on the Seamasters and Rancheros of the 50's.

    I didn't use it. It scared me to wear as the slide can be loose at times and one flick of the wrist and the watch goes flying.

    They might have been, they must have been an option though as mine was original to a Connie from the original owner. Mine is from the American side and it came from a guy who had bought it with a pie pan from 1958. I sold the watch but kept the bracelet.
