Watchlords

Hey guys,

Thank you for accepting me into the forum. I am a fellow watch enthusiast seeking some help to recognize a few links I came across.



Thank you for your time and fingers crossed someone can recognize them.

Best Regards,

How wide are the links? I bought a tank-style ecodrive for a girlfriend that had very similar links.

[There was an undisputed king of metal bracelet manufacturing in Geneva in the early 20th century; Gay Frères. A family run concern, they were the go to bracelet makers for all the big watch brands. Think of all the important wristwatches from the 1940s and 50s and it’s a fair bet that if they were sold with a bracelet, it would have come from the Gay Frères (GF) factory. Rolex, Patek, Omega and Zenith all used GF to design and supply their bracelets. The Oyster bracelet, arguably one of the most iconic aspects of a Rolex, is actually a GF design. And the iconic Zenith ‘Ladder’ bracelet? Also a GF creation. Gay Freères was founded in 1830 and initially were know for making pocket watch chains. As the advent of the wristwatch dawned, GF began to capture the market for metal bracelets. The most famous of their early designs was the utilitarian and military-focused Bonklip, which they produced in very large numbers in the 1930s.]

Looks kinda generic to me.

Thank you all for your prompt responses!

They are 20mm.

I will give it another day or two to research and will probably just throw them away :)

Cheers,

I took a look at several of my similar bracelets and have to agree they appear generic.

Look like the links I had on a SWI Magico. Delivered to my house for $39.99 with a watch winder. Back in the days when the phone lines were on fire.
