Us vintage collectors are often also the people with a weak spot for nice vintage watch bracelets. I am a very big fan, especially of quirky 1950s examples - often unbranded. Show ‘em here, I’m very curious of what’s in the OF vaults 😜

I’ll start with two more common (yet very desireable) micro-adjusters from Longines and Omega. Very similar bracelets.

I’ve done my fair share of bracelet hoarding..

All three clasp styles of ‘50s Omega beads of rice bracelets (middle like yours above)..

A few Longines Nautilus bracelets (middle like yours above)..

A unique Conquest bracelet + a Nautilus as above

Some Omega 7077 flatlinks..

And some NOS JB / Kestenmade bracelets..

I would love to say 'dibs' on all of them but I doubt I could afford any of them 🥰

I’m a big fan of wearing my watch on a bracelet, so you could say I’ve got a few of ‘em.

The Wittnauer ones:

This is pretty funky. I cannot seem to find any information on it, but it suits this watch so well (1920 H.Samuel). I basically bought the watch because I liked the strap so much, but it is really great to wear. Very adjustable.
