Hello all,

Could you please let me know which vintage steel bracelet you would suggest for this 2179? Spring bars are not fixed. I've looked around but can't land on one. Year of the watch is approx. 1945.

Many thanks,
D.

Thanks Dan. I have a 16mm bonklip in the mail for another watch. If it's nice, will get one for this too.

Hi

I would look at a 7 grains beads of rice from Fostner ... straight ends.... no end link ... But i personnaly prefer this case ref with a thick vintage strap ... ( leather , elephant , etc.... ).....

Good Hunting
Bill

That would look like that…

But frankly speaking, I prefer a thin leather bracelet like @TexOmega

Thanks so much for the feedback everyone (and sorry for the late reply) - ordering the Bonklip at 18mm. Got a 16mm Bonklip last week for another watch and it works great.

Thanks again 👍
