    This is an image of my grandfather. Any guess as to what he could be wearing? I would be really keen to find out. This image was taken circa 1970s I think. (This is the highest res image I have).
    The scar on his right arm is a from a shrapnel injury from WW2.

    I will try to do some photoshop magic on the picture to possible make it easier to identify.
    Will post it here later.

    I'm guessing, that like all Grandfathers, the bracelet is a Speidel Fixoflex.

    Speidel is "Twistoflex". Fixoflex is from ROWI.

    Easy mistake to make.

    Although I have dozens of them, I've never actually studied or researched them for some reason.

    :D

    Speidel is still pretty big here in the US, and they still make exansion bracelets, though I can't imagine they sell a lot of them.

    Do you have it in a digital form or did you use your phone to take a picture of the original?
    Can you take another one that is a close up of the watch?

    unfortunately I can't really do much with the one you posted here.

    The image was a scan of a print from my parents. I am going to ask if they can do a better job.

    Anyway, thanks for trying - much appreciated!
