Elgin WW Band Type?

[fijidad]

Can anyone show me an example of the correct band type that is supposed to go with this watch? Thanks, Dan

Hi Dan, you could try googling 'Elgin swivel lug watch' or 'Elgin drivers watch'. Plenty of pics to give you an idea.

Excellent advice, and thanks very much. I found just the watch I have for an example. Best, Dan

Something I've noticed is that the top of the gold filled band "loop" is worn through the gold to the underlying brass. Looks like someone wore the band over the top of these loops rather than under them. Can this be repaired with gold-colored solder? Is there a supplier one can purchase replacements from? Thanks, Dan
