Sizing links for 196? Duchess Watch Band

How to add images to myBulova.com forums & comments

Submitted by hollysi on

My mom has a Bulova watch with a Duchess watch band that my late dad gave her.  I think around 1965.  She would really like to start wearing the watch again but needs more links to make it larger.  I'm wondering if anyone knows where and/or how I could find more links. 



The back of the watch has the following printed on it:

Bulova M5

10K R.G.P. Bezel

Stainless steel back

Y100781



The band has the following printed on it:

Duchess

1/20 1OK GF TOP

Pat #2848864

Custom-size

Thanks in advance for any help you can give me!!

Your best bet is to find a new band similar to the original.

For us to help you at all we'd need to see a photo of the watch and band in question.

How many links do you think you need for her to wear it comfortably?
