5513 Bracelet - Replica ???

Guys,

Having trouble finding a bracelet for the right period for my 1966 5513....

Whilst I might be a while waiting for the right one, it occured to me that maybe i can go with a nato strap in the mean time...

Regardless, I began to wonder whether buying a replica watch and using the strap on my watch in the mean time...

Could this work ??? or should I just slap myself.....

I would wear what you want to wear. There are lots of bracelets for sale that are correct for your watch if you are willing to pay the going prices you will find 1.

I wouldn't buy anything replica for my watch. I would absolutely wear it on a NATO until the right authentic bracelet came along

bad idea they are poor quality and next your watch drops off your wrist, most of us believe in NOT supporting the counterfiet industry, it is frowned upon here on trf

The NATO is good option.
Aftermarket not good - they break.
Replica - yes, slap yourself!!!
