    Hi,

    I purchased this Stainless Steel BoR hoping to fit it into my rotation but it's too long for my little wrists which are a measly 6" :D

    It is a JB Champion Omega branded sliding clasp bracelet which snaps and adjusts nice and tight. These were likely the first style of BoR and are rumored to have been the Ranchero bracelet.

    It has 4 extra links but because of the placement of the links 3 can be taken out: two on the right side, one on the left (see second photo). Therefore, it is long to begin with, at just a bit over 6 inches (15.5cm) without the end links. Using the micro-adjust slide function, you can get an extra 3/4" (~17cm) to come it close to 6.75 inches.

    The inner clasp seems to have been repaired at some point as it says the bracelet has "10 KT.G.F. top shells" but the bracelet is stainless steel. Unnumbered end links measure 17.7mm are original and correct for these slide bracelets.

    I'd like to get USD $240 shipped CONUS for this bracelet (which is what it cost me). Int'l at cost. Paypal/Zelle/Venmo. I do think this is a good deal given the uncommon nature of the bracelet, the long length, and the 3 extra links that can be taken off. Happy to answer any questions by PM. No returns unless grossly misrepresented. I have a bunch of feedback here:

    Thanks!
    Ben
