Zigoto Posted November 6, 2017 Report Share 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 ?

alligoat Posted November 6, 2017 Report Share 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sogeha Posted November 6, 2017 Report Share 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zigoto Posted November 6, 2017 Author Report Share 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 Share 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
