So I have been on the hunt for a BOR bracelet for my world time watch. I found this on craigslist. I don't know what model watch or what the lug size might be. So can anyone help me with some info on this watch?

OK so with some more effort I'm looking at a 7005-xxxx I do beleive it is 19mm lug size so it would be a good match. They have a asking price of $125.00 Not sure of this 7005's value.

That's the problem... It looks to me like it's a short 6 inches

There's a newly listed 7005 with a BOR with a starting price of $19.95 you might look at.

Catkicker I have that exact 7005-8000 that you show, it is on the same BOR. One of my favorites. I have an aftermarket cyclops crystal that makes it look great. Yes, 19 mm lugs.
In no way is $125 anywhere near a sane price for that watch, original BOR not withstanding. Right price is $50 TOPS.
Keep searching,if I find that other lost one of mine I will PM you!

That looks exactly like my 7005-8027, which has 18mm lugs.

I have, what I believe is a NOS BOR, I think it's 18mm, with all links present. I would be willing to part with it if it works. Rob

Nice! Seems to have the same amount of links as mar52's Beads Of Rice (took me ages to work out what BOR meant!)....

Mar52 found a watch on ebay that has a 19mm original that is over 7"s in length. It's not a very sought after model Seiko. However it is a very nice BOR so hopefully I can get it for the right price.
