I have the Vintage clasp.
Of the 4 I ordered only 1 is super tight when trying to take it off. The rest are perfect.
I will purchase a couple more and am thinking to get the modern like yours.
Thank you! I will purchase one of these as well. Looks great with the brushed clasp

Really nice bracelet and a doddle to size - at least this doesn’t have collars also. I think this watch belongs on a strap but this is a great change up.

It’s very good quality by the feel of it. Well worth £150 IMO.

excuse the rubbish photo - the camera on my iPhone needs changing!

The bracelet seems to be a hit with owners. I've seen it now on every heritage Heuer glassbox, except for the Fragment.
I think it looks great on all of them! 👍

FYI. Uncle Straps has been happy with sales so far, so he plans to make a 18mm width version of this bracelet next. He'll be using the CS3110 Carrera as his model watch, so it should fit on all the first remakes from the late '90s and hopefully the vintage '60s originals as well.

I saw a couple of people had asked for this on Insta. Potentially a bigger market amongst watch enthusiasts for the reissues than there is for the glassboxes. Better get saving!

I have had a very brief email exchange with U.S. re. them potentially offering a bracelet for the 1163/11630 Autavias (which might actually just mean coming up with the right endlinks). Hope this will also go somewhere…

One of my endlinks is warped unfortunately when I received it and doesn't sit flush to the case. Thankfully Larry (Uncle bracelet) got a friend of his in Hong Kong to send me a new one. Seems like it's been a huge success.

Has anyone tried fitting these to a 19mm Heuer Camaro (or if any Camaro owners have one, fancy giving it a go)?

I'm assuming they won't fit, particularly with the solid endlinks but there's a dearth of decent bracelet options for Camaros

Yes, I have a couple of them. I find them to be a nice fit with good looks. They seem a bit on the lighter side, but then again I've never handled a genuine GF BoR bracelet before either.

Got an update from Uncle, the 18mm version for the 90s Carrera reissue has been put on hold indefinitely.

The bracelet was a very hot seller when it went on sale, but now things have tapered off. So he's hesitant to do another version.

There's a finite number of customers, only a percentage of whom are actually aware of the U.S. for their watch and most will likely be part of communities like ours. Of course it's going to sell extremely well and then taper off.

When I finally get an Ice King, guaranteed I'll want it on a bracelet. Was considering pre-purchasing one, as the IK is an inevitability - but there's always a chance I buy it from someone with the bracelet included.

In case potential customers in the UK and mainland Europe aren’t aware, Uncle Straps has a UK-based supplier named Unlimited Straps based in Cardiff.

Unlimitedcstraps click link here

I ought my BoR from here (and later a bracelet for my Speedy) and can confirm that the service is excellent and delivery was quick (actually next day). And of course it saves the concern of Customs/import duty/VAT when buying from abroad.

Here’s my Ice King

FYI. It seems the Uncle Straps double grain can work on vintage Heuer models too! Albeit with some light modifications to make it work.

@victo.gram on Instagram has fitted it to the vintage Autavia on HLB end-links.

Even more impressive is that he got it to work on the vintage 2447 Carrera as well. I'm not sure how, as the lug width on the Carrera is 18mm, whereas the Uncle bracelet was designed for 19mm and measures 18.8mm where it meets the lugs.

Update: Vic (@victo.gram) told me he used a grinder to slim down the outer sides of the last links to just under 18mm. Then various grades of sandpaper to refinish it back to a polished form. Definitely not as easy compared to the Autavia. The good news is that Uncle's bracelet works with vintage Heuer HLB end-links (Autavia) and Heuer HEL end-links (Carrera), so the inner rice links are sized like the original GF bracelets.
