Ah, makes sense....Thought it looked like a Rolex Oyster. Thanks for posting the original bracelet. As much of a Certina fan as I am, I like the Oyster better.

Weeeell, let's agree to disagree then 😂
I think this Certina bracelet (nicknamed Caterpillar i think) i just lovely, very original you don't find anything near it on any other brands !
Between this one and the Gay Frere (for the regular DS) I have to admit the gay freres is better

No, vintage rivited oyster without markings. The original bracelet is too short for me 😞

It's a shame it's too short, because you seem to have the - extremely rare - correct end links that are 19mm (for the divers) instead of the usual 18mm (for the regular DS)

In my opinion, you should look for a bigger bracelet (which will have the 18mm end links), swap the end link and sell the shorter one with the 18mm end links.

Thank you for the nickname. Six links are on the way from Spain to the Netherlands 😀

I'll be back 😉
