The band has arrived.....
Well, it's not Aerosmith, but my C & I Riveted Expansion bracelet from 1971 arrived today, too bad I haven't got the 7928 Sub yet to put it on....
 ...Still waiting, damn, USPS Registered mail is S L O W !!!!! Pics to follow as soon as I get a chance to pick it up!

I'll post some pics later when I get time, but this band sure feels tinny and cheap! Is this normal with these? I'm almost afraid to wear it. Any help with you vintage guys...?

I wouldn't wear it to repave the driveway but if you wear your's with the usual care used for our vintage pieces, you'll be just fine. Gotta love these folded oyster bracelets as they were state of the art at the time. Can't wait to see the complete package.  dP

yes the older bracelets are different, but they are comfortable to wear and are tougher than they look.
original folded link bracelet/new bracelet on a Tudor sub

Yes Bill, the same one.....It's being sent via USPS Registered Mail, so I'm sure it's secure, maybe actually too secure  The band was bought quite a bit after the watch, but it was sent EMS, so I received it in about 4 days. Anyway, I can play with the band...I'll get some pics up tomorrow in some natural light. Just got home from work and have a splitting headache. The kids we ruthless tonight. Must be a full moon...

I love & prefer those old school light weight rattly folded links oyster bracelets from the 70's, they make the watch feel weightless & comfy!
