    EDIT - Please see latest bump post (4/27/22) for current inventory.

    I have accumulated a few too many NASA style vintage bracelets but don't have any watches that I like using them on.

    So now my whole collection is up for sale.

    These are all vintage pieces, not the modern re-issue. All are used but functional. I can take more photos of anything specific if needed. Just shoot me a PM!

    All prices are net to me in USD. Domestic (U.S.) Shipping is included, international shipping will be additional. I accept PayPal and Venmo. I haven't sold here but have sold many watches on Instagram (moclovflop) and can provide references. many of them are members on here as well. I also sell regularly on eBay and have 100% feedback there (user ID: Alkalinequatro)

    Package deals are welcome.

    Starting with the best first:

    1. SOLD The famous Horned end version. JB Champion brand. Both ends compress as they should. Clasp adjusts smoothly and opens/closes without issue. Compared to the other bracelets listed here, it seems to have been shortened slightly in its past. Due to their size, there's no real downside to this, and might be a nice bonus for someone with smaller wrists. But just note. $320

    2. The straight end version. Forstner brand. Same notes as #1 but full length on this one. $250

    3. Uncommon hinged end version. Forstner Brand. This thing is very very nice. Not mint, but a couple steps away. Perfectly shiny, super tight. Ends measure 18.9mm so good for a 19mm watch or shave them down. $WITHDRAWN

    4. SOLD Solid end version. Gemex Brand. Good condition with no issues. Ends measure 18.80mm. Clasp works as it should. Nice example of the less common brand if you want to round out your collection. $170

    5. Solid end version. JB Champion Brand. This one is measuring 16.70mm. The original keeper loop is missing and was previously replaced with some wire. Good for parts or repair, but wearable as-is if you don't mind. $100

    6. The "Other" Version with Horned ends. JB Champion brand. Has some waves on the face when laid out flat, but they are gone when on the wrist. Some black pitting? or DNA? between some of the links that I can't clean out. Missing the keeper loop. $100

    Screen Shot 2021-01-21 at 1.21.14 PM.png Screen Shot 2021-01-21 at 1.21.20 PM.png Screen Shot 2021-01-21 at 1.21.36 PM.png Screen Shot 2021-01-21 at 1.21.42 PM.png Screen Shot 2021-01-21 at 1.21.30 PM.png Screen Shot 2021-01-21 at 1.21.25 PM.png

    7. SOLD Spares. One set with one good horned end but needs a new spring (won't return from compression). And one set with hinged 16mm ends. And one half with a single 16mm end. All are missing adjusters and loops. $60
