I think it is not just the band, if at all in this case as a $20 difference is too high a price hike. This 1958 ad shows only a $10 price difference for the "Royal Clipper" gold plate on expansion band and on leather. Taking this into account, there must be some other factor apart from the mount involved and it is probably the adjustments. Below that we have a 1957 ad for the "Automatic" with 23 jewels, and the price difference on expansion and leather bands is $12, big rise in price to $20 with the subject watch, taking the dollar value at the time into the equation.
HE "C".
