Re: Autavia 1163 bracelet alternatives?

You will be hard pressed to find generic bracelets with fitted end links. If you have patience you can buy bracelet with curve endlinks and dremel or file or sand them into shape (latter 2 tools might take forever). Generic BOR can be found for less than $200 while jubilee, oyster or president braclets can be as low as $50.

Here are some examples of watches i fitted with generic bracelets (all happen to be jubilees) with dremeled end links
