FS: Vintage beads of rice bands in 18mm and 19mm

18MM BEADS OF RICE BAND - Price $160

Always a timeless classic for anything from a Heuer to an Omega to a vintage dive watch or Bulova Accutron. Popular choice for the early 18mm Carreras.

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. Signed on the back of the clasp simply “100% Stainless Steel,” just as many original BOR bands were signed. New Old Stock vintage item. Measures 6 3/8 inches long (17cm); you can easily make it shorter by removing any link by unfolding the center beads sections. Very easy to do. Clasp is 17mm wide. Last link before the end pieces is 18mm wide. Band weighs 32 grams.
