Hi all

Just joined the forum so hello to all 👋

I have recently got a T17 off of the bay and it has come with a very nasty silver bracelet which I am sure is aftermarket. So my ask here is what would have been the originally type of watch strap would it have come with. The case is one of the staybrite types and is silver. My guess would be a leather strap, perhaps a light brown or tan. I have googled it and not getting any hits.

Thank you in advance for your help.

Thank you

Watches of that era were generally sold on plain leather straps.

This post has a similar watch with some catalog pics provided by @Tire-comedon, our resident expert consultant fro these.

Staybrite, silver? I don’t think so.

I think the OP was referring to the colour.
