AirKing Bracelet
Hi everyone, I just picked up my second AirKing. This one is vintage 1967 but came to me with a leather band which I would like to turn back to SS. I am no expert on watches by any means and seek some advice.
From what I read so far I have been looking at bracelet 7205 or 7835 at 19mm. I am shopping the internet for a good deal and am in no rush to buy so I dont want to buy something i am not going to be happy with. Could you experts please give me options on bracelet model numbers and end pieces too, that would be a great help. Also from what I see I would like to get 13 links as I am a full size male. Can I use the links as a gage for shopping any of these models or am I going about this wrong. Any help or comments are welcome. Thanks, Mike |

Got a 19mm 6635 expandable on mine. Watch and bracelet are both 1964. Bought seperately, but this bracelet was an option for the AK in the 1960s. Being expandable it would give you a bit more play with the sizing.

Great, 78350 is a later bracelet I presume. No fitment problem with my older model?

Thanks, will keep on looking.
Are the size of the links pretty much the same from one to another? |
