Masters of Time in Holland!

https://www.mastersintime.com/us/en/

I needed a bracelet for my 38mm Hamilton Khaki Field and they had it. I received it quickly. As I have the 38mm Khaki Field Chrono, I wanted the bracelet for that watch as well, which is discontinued. I had another Hamilton bracelet but not the right end links.

I asked, can you find me the end links? They said they'd try.

Took them a month but I'll be darned, they found some for me! Paid today, I should know whether they fit and match in a week as they ship DHL.

That kind of effort deserves support, so if you agree and they have what you want, give them a try!

Skunkman was it not possible to get the bracelet from Hamilton? I have a Khaki on leather I think might look better on bracelet but have yet to investigate getting one. I was going to look on the Hamilton website. Not doubting your methods just trying to see why you chose this route since it’s something I want to investigate myself.

I knew what bracelet I needed and looked all over for it The Holland store is the only one who had it online at a decent price.

For the chronograph, the bracelet was discontinued. As many of the bracelets are the same except for the end links, that's all I pursued, having bought a bracelet that didn't fit. I don't know where or how they found them, but I was plenty happy.

I think that Hamilton churns models pretty often and not every model is intended to have a bracelet... but sometimes you can find one where people online say, yay! this bracelet fits and looks good!

Makes perfect sense thanks. I am really needing to pick up some decent straps, bracelets and NATOS. The more places you are aware of the better. You might not recall but I think my best leather strap thus far I purchased from you a year or so ago, it was for my mundane speedy auto wanna be moon watch. Looks very good.

I don't remember as much as I used to.

Maratac makes a very good G10/NATO. Bracelets, depends on what for. As for leather straps and old Omega watches, vintage Jacoby-Bender "Champion" are usually a safe bet as long as they fit. I need to wear "long" with those. I have some extras of a lot of things, you can always PM me your wants!
