IIRC, #58 end links will also fit about the same.

Thank you Dan, but already sourced 80 ends, they are on its way.
Watch is already with my master watchmaker for servicing the movement as it runs poorly (+45 min/day). We agreed only on that and stabilizing radium hands, not adding anything else. Regarding bezel and pip - I will keep it the way it was presented to me by the Old Gentleman. |

Any idea wether this watch was issued or a private purchase?
Beautiful watch either way. |

It was purchased by the gentleman himself, but used during his service. He said he did hundreds of dives with it. He even lost it in 80s and placed the ad in newspapers and some good angel called him that he found it

if i was well informed, i was told the Exclamation point was there to show the lume was in line with the recommendation of legal regulation (of 1962 of course)... This watch is certainly from Q3 1962. (BTW i have exactly the same watch while mine is some numbers earlier, and since i got it, as far as i remember i already have had 3 horologist working on it).... |

Recently noticed on Tudor web this vintage Submariner with a custom military style cuff bracelet. I really like it and would love to have something similar on my 5512 once back from service. Any recommendations where to search or who can make something like this?

You just have to search and keep your eyes open. Network with collectors and hope one of them likes you. I just hoard mine, why sell them for a few hundred $.

I like the 'custom' bracelet the original owner fitted. After he'd left the navy I suspect as it's too blingy for military standards. Which navy did he dive for?
Replace it with a correct one, sure. But keep the original with it too and then it's history remains intact. |
