OK, is this an April fools day warm-up? Coffin (or fish scale) bracelets are usually highly sought after! ( I'm still looking for one for myself ). Is it that they are just undersized and finding extra links is impossible or is there something else that made you dump them?

It has Stelux stamps and in really good condition but somehow I have never learned to use metal bracelet. It's 7005-8062, I also have 7625-8233 and it seems those are 1-2-1 same minus different movement

Is it that they are just undersized and finding extra links is impossible or is there something else that made you dump them? well, i started lifting weights 4 years ago, and my wrists have moved from 6-3/4" to 7-1/4" in these last 4 years. so, i used to be in typical Japanese territory dimension-wise, now, well, i love blood flow in and out of my hands more than i love any particular vintage bracelet. more annoying still, my wrists have become way more dimensionally unstable, ebbs and flows have made a ratcheting diver's extension my go-to clasp. i also love elastic natos that allow a case-back to rest on my wrist, those are quickly adjustable ( i mean, in 10 seconds or less.) if you'd like my coffin-link, make what you think is a fair offer, and i will take a look and see if i have any longer l-to-l watches that might make the coffin feasible for me. it was my favorite bracelet back when it was a fit...but i don't think i have a practical use for it, so we might as well get it to someone who does.

On the subject of coffin links, a lot of people call what I refer to as a “fish scale” or “snake skin” bracelet as a “mini coffin link”. I don’t like that moniker because a coffin shape is not a symmetrical diamond. The fish scale design is one of my favorites. I have one on the way from the UK on a 6119-8160 and I plan to try it out on a 6117-6010 World Timer. Len, that 7005 is gorgeous! I love the cross-hair dial and that deep blue is the best and rarest of them. Nice! We have this one on this blustery day in So Cal.
