JB Champion made a lot of bands, SS and gold-filled. There are many listed for sale on ebay from different sellers. Just search JB Champion bands. The clasped ones show the JB logo in the triangle, and "Champion" inscribed in large written letters.

The ss/gold ones I've seen say gold-filled trim on the clasp, not "14kt trim" as on their Rolex USA bands. My band is very old, and shows no brassing on the gold links which show heavy wear. Hence, most likely solid gold.

The JB Rolex bands are hard to find--there aren't that many of them around for sale.
