Broken watches…

Bought a broken Omega quartz cheap and had a new modern movement installed.

Not bought a watch for a vintage bracelet, I tend to dump my old bracelets and put old watches on modern ones. Just prefer the feel.

I frequently consider it but I know I won't be able to toss the watch and who wants to be stuck with more junky watches?

Curious what’s the name of this kind of bracelet?

No but I have bought old Rolex Oyster bracelets at auction which I've then cleaned up & polished before selling. Keeps me out of trouble 💪

Not sure fish scale…?

I haven’t, no, but there are plenty of vintage bracelets around that are at least as nice as the watch head.

Your one looks a little like the Yema scales bracelet. Yema recently brought it back into circulation in variations including fully brushed, and brushed and glossy (below). I have to say it contributed to the watch I bought for them. It’s an attractive design that stands out, I think.

I like this bracelet .. either Bulova or Yema. I have a similar bracelet from my Accutron circa 1971. Drapes a bit too thin for my hunk of a wrist but sure is good looking.

Love that bracelet!!!! Top man

My entire collection started out as old broken watches! I salvage parts from similar models to fix them, which means I have a ridiculous amount of vintage bracelets/bands awaiting a new life

Same…it’s a hard habit to break. 😂

I wouldn't mind to buy a watch just for the bracelet itself as far as the bracelet would be one of a kind or very rare and nice

All the time!

"coffin links" is what I've seen it referred to over the years

Have and would again! 😂

That’s an AWESOME bracelet! Bravo!🙌

Guilty. I've done more than just salvage a bracelet. When you need a part and are desparate, you do what you gotta do.

No,but that’s a goood idea.very nice bracelet.

That's unique and I dig

Sometimes we learn something from these broken watches.

I think I've seen that watch here on WC and it's a beauty!

If that's not the official name, it is now!
