Icon10 New Bracelet for my AK

Finally found a period-correct bracelet for my birth-year (1964) Air King 5501 recently when Robby (southtexas) put one up for sale with a clasp stamp that even matched by birth month. It's an expandable 6635 with 57 endlinks, good condition for a 50-yr-old, and makes a much better partner for the old AK than the cheap leather band I have had it on for the past few months. Thanks Robby!

Looks great Adam. I am a original bracelet fan at the end of the day, leather is never the same for me. Nice AK.

I was unsure how the SS bracelet would look in a two tone, but it really completes the watch. Great looking AK btw, every time I see that dial it makes me smile.
