<<< those old bracelets >>>

I thought this was an interesting article and it spoke to why I’ve enjoyed wearing my SeikoSKX these past few days.

Those jingly, jangly bracelets of old should not be underestimated for their comfort and charm.

Brian,

It was the jangly OEM Seiko jubilee that gave me a different perspective on the vintage Rolex jubilees. Wore them without care on some tough jobs and they handled them with ease. No question modern solid construction is expected w/ modern prices. But the classic vintage jubilees are more than capable for the task.

Can somebody please advise where I can find the dimensions of the knurled pins and tubes/sleeves for Rolex bracelets. I wish to order them before pulling any links apart.

What specific watch are you talking about?

My kind of modern Datejust has screws in the bracelet
