Zigoto Posted November 6, 2017 Report Posted November 6, 2017 Hi guys, I'm trying to find a straight end links bracelet like the early rolex. I think the reference is the 7205/7206 bracelet but with the straight end, does anyone know where i could find a nice replica or the straight end links ? MERCIIIIII
alligoat Posted November 6, 2017 Report Posted November 6, 2017 7205 would be 19mm ends 7206 would be 20mm ends This is all I could find in 20mm, he probably has it in 19mm, but didn't look. http://rafflesdials.com/signed-solid-stainless-steel-20mm-vintage-rivet-style-quality-watch-band-bracelet-strap-for-vintage-36mm-rolex-explorer-watch-case/ I don't know where you're going to find straight ends- they date back to the 50s. Gen bracelets are out of sight these days btw.
Sogeha Posted November 6, 2017 Report Posted November 6, 2017 http://rafflesdials.com/watch-bracelet/rivet/ Ken has both 19 and 20mm at $39.99 Straight end links are a different matter
Zigoto Posted November 6, 2017 Author Report Posted November 6, 2017 Thanks guys I know the rivet bracelet aren't so hard to find but it's always good to have infos. I'm really trying to find the straight end links , regarding few end links some of them look like they have separate part. Maybe there is a cylinder inside but i don't know which reference.
alligoat Posted November 7, 2017 Report Posted November 7, 2017 I was playing with a 7205 today- it had separate 577 end pieces- or at least that's what I found on my messy watch table, which were separate from the bracelet. If you had a 7205 (or6), maybe you could fab up a straight tube that would fit over the center ends- you'd need cut out a slot for the center link and then when you put the springbar in there, it would hold it all together. Originally I think the straight ends were attached to the bracelet permanently, but if you could fab up something it would be cool 1
