I know this isn't new to me.. but I thought I'd share the pics of it on it's new bracelet.
These have distinctive triangular lugs, what I call 'sharks tooth', so finding a bracelet for it is impossible. There was an optional BoR bracelet (with corresponding end links) available to buy with this watch when it was new, but finding one these days is like hunting down a 1st gen Autavia bracelet!!
Anyway, I decided to have a go at a good quality aftermarket oyster bracelet. Armed with a multi-tool type knife, with a file attached, plus some beers, I set to work.
I love the results, looks like a match made in heaven, and it's like having another new watch!!
Further details on this beautiful watch are here: http://heuerville.wordpress.com/2013/10/31/ollech-wajs-caribbean-1000-ref-702/
