Nice Score! An almost Impossible find but it just goes to show you those original bracelets are out there.

Nice Score! An almost Impossible find but it just goes to show you those original bracelets are out there. These are an interesting bracelet, they are without removable links and were often discarded at point of sale for another bracelet or leather strap. Apparently the cost to chop and repair the original bracelet was similar to the cost of an aftermarket bracelet or strap ::)The later of these bracelets for the 5717/9 were fitted with a Seiko clasp. |

The one on top, looks very close to the one on my 7009-5008. I have the same watch...  The bracelet does look very similar. |
