Nice watch Jim !

I don't know the bracelet fitted to your watch. That's doesn't mean it's not right. I'm always willing to learn. I haven't seen it before though.

I've seen the MK II on 2 different bracelets. the 1162 ,as shown here ,is argueably the most commonly seen bracelet...



or early versions were fitted with the 1159 ( I have one of these & can confirm the number ) as shown here...



The 1162 is easily available. I can give you a couple of references for a supplier if you need one.

the 1162 available today is NOT the same as the 1162 available in the early 70's the early 70's version has screwed links & is a bit heavier. The current version has push pin links & the bracelet is a bit lighter.

The links are NOT hollow or folded.

The 1162 is one of my personal favourites & has the enourmous advantges of being easily available, relatively cheap & has the looks of a vintage bracelet.

BTW the 1162 comes with different sized ends. make sure you get the 1162/173 this has 20 mm endpieces.

I hope this helps.

Steve
