I have taken this pic from a new webpage that I started a few days ago.
1170 - 1171 bracelet comparison
This webpage is not finished yet & there is no link to it from my index page (yet).
If you have the endpieces(stamped 653 ) HANG ON TO THEM ! they are very difficult to find. Either a 1170 (difficult to find) or 1171 (easier & much cheaper to find) will fit these endpieces.
If you don't have the Endpieces, a 1162/172 will fit the watch ( 22mm endpieces ).
This will have "straight" endpieces.
If you look at the following picture, you can see the stainless watch on the left has the bracelt with endpieces, the gold version on the right doesn't.
You can easily get an 1171 from a couple of eBay sellers.
Watchco-Australia or Ohio-Goldwing ( USA based ) - I have used both & recommend them both.
As for the case back, I think you may have a more difficult problem to solve there. I'd recommend the same eBay sellers. ( E-mail them & ask if they have the items in their stock )
Best of Luck & let us know how you get on.
Steve
I assume you mean this model.
