YELLOW GOLD-PLATE VINTAGE NOS BEADS OF RICE BAND - $195
You’ll see many more of these in steel before you ever see another a yellow gold one like this, much less as new old stock from the 1960s/70s. The 3 x 2 center beads of rice are polished and the other rows and clasp are satin finish. Made in Japan by Speidel and stamped 1/50 10K rolled gold plated for the gold content.
As shown, the ends are 19mm wide but they can be modifed to 18mm before shipping. The clasp is 17.2mm wide and the last link before the ends is 17.1mm wide.
Band measures 6 1/4 inches long (16cm) with the adjustments in the clasp out to the longest length. You can adjust it down in the clasp to 5 1/2 inches long (14cm). You can reduce the length further by removing links, which is quite easy to do on these bands.

Several customers have bought these for the 18mm lug Carreras and the band fits really well.
Always a timeless classic for anything from an Omega to a vintage dive watch or Bulova Accutron. Vintage beads of rice style solid stainless steel band, still on its original sales card from the 1960s/70s. Six-row beads style with curved 18mm ends. I can modify these to 16mm or to 17.5mm to fit an Accutron, Zodiac or Hamilton Electric with that special size. Great style to wear with a Seiko, military watch or a 1960s/70s period diver or chronograph. Signed on the back of the clasp simply "100% Stainless Steel," just as the original Jenny Caribbean bands were signed. New Old Stock item from the 1960s/70s.
