FS: Rare Long Genuine Elephant 1960s JB exotic skin watch straps

Something special for your vintage 16mm, 19mm or 20mm lugs watch. Two very rare Genuine Elephant JB Champion bands. The wider ends one is modeled above on the Heuer Autavia Siffert. It is an excellent sand color with ends that will fit 19mm or 20mm lugs watches. The second one is a 16mm black band shown here:

One of the most rare old stock vintage watch bands to find, and especially rare in a Long Length like this. Produced in the 1960s/70s and discovered as vintage New Old Stock. This Exotic Skin is one of the most unique and durable for old watch straps, and these special Long Length versions are very desirable for watch collectors with larger wrist sizes. Finding these in Long Length is nearly impossible. Nice deep texture to the skin. From a time when vintage watch bands were made with better materials than what is used today in modern straps. Long Length straps measure 8 1/2 inches (21.8cm) placed end to end, not including the buckle, a full inch more than standard straps. Metric measurements of the two pieces are 128/90mm. Lightly padded strap that won't detract from a fine watch but has strong thickness. Band is 3.8mm thick where it meets the watch and 3.6mm thick at the tail end. The buckle end width is 16mm. Comes with a unique shape JB Champion steel buckle or you can request a yellow gold-tone buckle.

PRICES:

16mm black $175
19/20mm sand $250
