    Sellers who have forgotten to include the watch?. Evidently not. ::screwloose::

    Here are two Ebay listings for starters.

    Yes, this 7077 includes #6 end links but $10k? Few years ago a 2998 would be attached as well.
    And it’s short one expansion link.:D

    This Beads of Rice Bracelet with sliding buckle is cool on a late 50’s Ranchero, but $2,000 asking?
    Didn’t one just sell for $332?

    Now that we are on the subject, how many fixed and spring links should a complete 7077 have?
    Been meaning to ask "The Hoarder" of all flat links himself for some time now :D

    Thanks for the knowledge. I didn’t know there were two buckles associated with this bracelet reference.

    I believe that 5 double expansion links is full size for all 7077s. I’m not sure about fixed links as 7077s were issued for both 19mm Lug Seamasters, Speedmasters, Railmasters and 18mm Lug Rancheros, Seamasters and Connie’s. Therefore, some 7077s might have narrower last links (and end links) than others.

    They all have an 18mm last link, it's the end links that decide whether it will fit an 18mm or 19mm lug spacing.

    I would love to see a NOS 7077 bracelet if anyone has one. Would be great to see how a complete one looks like.

    @smitty190373 (Ian) sold this earlier this year. Not NOS but clean, unpolished in fine condition and has all 5 links. I believe it is a complete 7077. Since it has no date it was the first version 7077 bracelet sold with the 2913-1, 2914-1, and 2915-1.

    This arrived today.
    Most 7077s available today are short some of the 5 original double links.
    First time I ever found one with more. It’s missing fixed links instead.
