This bracelet appears original but the markings are different from the JB Champion UG bracelets I've seen to date. I would appreciate your thoughts on the authenticity of the bracelet. Looking for a bracelet for a 1970s Compax.

I only have an 18mm Gay Freres; you can see a few pictures here:

I'll get a picture of the clasp markings up shortly.
The bracelet on your link has 18mm lugs like mine - don't you need 19 or 20MM for a chrono?

 

I'd be very careful. This seller has sold fake Heuer bracelets on ebay.

My 18 mm JB Champion UG bracelet clearly states JB Champion on the folding clasp. The link I refer to above doesn't have the JB Champion inscription, but states made in USA. It seemed questionable, but the links appear very similar to my band. Refer to my avatar...

 

I know @LouS most surely has info here, somewhere.

 

I think you need

I agree, I'm pretty sure the correct size is 19mm for a chrono.
