    Hey,

    Any ideas how to search for a bracelet similar to this? Tried their own description of woven steel and got nothing... Would only be looking for something cheap to stick on for a different look.

    Cheers

    Quick ebay search for "1970s steel watch bracelet" shows a few similar types.

    A good alternative is an expandable watch bracelet...something like THIS

    Always found expandables to be very comfortable myself

    A lot of 70's watches had similar bracelets. Maybe try "Seiko vintage bracelet" on ebay as Seiko had a few of that style. Or "70 bracelet" in Jewellery and watches section within ebay, that'll widen your search(you'll get French results on top).

    Many worry about Artificial Intelligence. I worry far more about Organic Idiocy.

    Cheers gents, spot on. For expandables, is taking out a link the same as a standard? Only did my first one (replacing strap and removing links) last month and it seemed ok.

    Taking links out of expandables is a little trickier than a normal bracelet but easy enough with a little YouTube help. If I can do it anyone can.

    Most 70s Seiko were 19mm so be careful.

    You usually count the rows in the link. So that would be a 7 row steel bracelet.

    Look up beads of rice bracelet, similar to your opening post too.

    If the seat's wet, sit on yer hat, a cool head is better than a wet ar5e.
