What bracelets would suit this watch?
I’m thinking about buying this for a friend who is into art and who i know would appreciate this watch. I was thinking something either elegant or more ideally something that would compliment the Bauhaus theme. I’m looking for bracelets that are a bit of the usual path. Vintage style BOR bracelets are currently in the top of my list, but i am very open to ladder and other style braclets as well.
I can’t do Forster level prices, either. Unfortunately i just don’t think i could swing for a $100 band.
I want to be clear that i am exluding all Rolex bracelets: Oyster, Jubilee, and Presidential. Please, do not recommend those. I’m also ruling out fine mesh, mistakenly also known as “Milanese”.

To be honest I would prefer it on a brown leather strap, with padding to accentuate the dressy and round shape.
However, for a bracelet that is really #vintage comfortable and easy to fit, I would go for #bonklip bracelet.
This one is a bit expensive and lacks quick release, but certainly of good quality:

You probably can find cheaper alternatives, including on eBay and eventually with quick release.
The round case will look good in a retro elastic bracelet...
This retro multi-link might also be a good match...
Bricks might also look good...
Apparently AliExpress does Bonklip style which would be a good bet, tho personally I'd go Milanese..
Milanese would probably pair well - and agree with others on the bonclip style.
I second the Speidel Twist-o-flex expansion band though mesh would be my first choice. The keyword to search for the AliExpress Bonklips, which are totally excellent, is Alpine Steel Strap.
A black leather strap would look nice. I tried that on my Bambino but, found I preferred the original Milanese bracelet.
