your strap bag gets pretty full. I was looking for a metal band for my 'Fieldmaster Chrono,' and lo and behold, I had one in my bag. It's brand new and even in brushed finish like the watch. I have no idea when I got it or what it came on, but it fit perfectly. Nothing like finding one in your own backyard. :@) Kurt     |

Someone on another forum solved the riddle. The metal band is
from one of my Seiko "Italians' that I sold years ago.
Mystery solved.

I'm big on not only trying to match the brushed or polished surfaces degree of finish, but also a pleasing design to suit the watch case and dial. Then add in the consideration of an age appropriate link pattern if it's to fit a vintage or modern. Finally I am huge on matching the exact hue and lustre to the watch case.
You NAILED this one. Congrats !

Someone had bought the watch, harvested the bracelet, and sold the head. I've heard their nice quality, they sure look it. |
