Watch Band For An Unusual Vintage Watch

[Johnvsd]

I recently purchased an Unusual vintage Longines gold plated top stainless back 5 star Admiral. Not sure how a band would be attached or if it was part of a desk set. Does any one have any idea about the watch band that will fit to this kind of watch? Thanks

Thats a difficult one. I very much doubt that any strap available would be suitable as the fitting is completely non-standard.

Not the same model but looks to have the same strap mounting system.

Check out the photos. One has a pretty clear view.

Thanks Mark.

It is in different shape, ro63rto, but i think both use the same type of watch band. Thanks

Unless you can get someone to solder some lugs on, I would say it's only worth the movement that's inside!

 

If you still want to wear the watch, your best bet would be to get a jeweller to solder a tube under the existing lug so that you can affix a chunky leather strap using the 'dumb-bell' type strap retainers.

I would relocate the movement to another case. I found the strap at one of the site, however the price is high and it won't look good on the watch. Thanks for all advices gentlemen.
