One or Two Links Needed

Submitted by Phil Gz on

I recently bought a Bulova Accutron 219, year about 1973. The bracelet is a little tight and one or two extra links would be useful. The bracelet is marked "1151". If anyone has spare links or a complete bracelet to sell, please contact me.  Thank you, Phil

Any photo you can share of the bracelet?

Hi,  I am trying to upload some images of some links that may work and looked at instructions but I don't see the insert image icon.  Across the top of the comment window I see B, I, paperclip icon (for a url), bullets, numbered bullets, quotes, image via url icon and source.  Am I doing something incorrect?

In the meantime while you are looking for links you can try using a bracelet extender.

Thank you for your reply. I did purchase an extension link, but unfortunately the hole in the new piece does not align correctly with the original bracelet.

For now, I think it’s best that I continue searching for a genuine original link rather than attempting to modify the extender.

Hi,  I have somthing that may work.  Trying to figure out how to upload images.  If it's allowed I can give you my email and send you some pics.  This is a "free to a good home" sort of thing.    Admins?

Here's another idea, the clasp or buckle that is signed came in different sizes.Some short, medium and longer increasing the length of the bracelet. I have encountered this before. The chances of finding exact links match is nuts unless you find a donor bracelet. Make damn sure you can even add on links? JV TIME & AGAIN

Thank you for the information. You're right, very difficult to find one.

There is a complete identical model for sale on eBay. Listed as not working. But the seller is wanting UK £185 for it ($245), plus shipping.

It does not look in the best of conditions.&

You could buy the watch...take the links you need then resell it to recoup most of your original investment.  I have done something similar before.
