I'm not sure I understand by small ones Lorne, but if these are the size you are looking for just send me an email with your address and I'll send you one.

I like the chains Buster, just not familiar enough with them to know the kind I like. I do like the one that you showed though and had a few of them.

Regards,
Larry

I appreciate the offer Larry but I know a guy here who does leather work and I can make a couple.

I just want to get the grommets with the larger diameter hole.

Glad to get that hearsay straighten up Buster. One of my favorite watches came with a Simmon's chain. The original owner said in 1965 he bought from a jewel store about five miles from were we live a new 160$ 950b and 15$ Simmon's T bar chain. What a HAPPYTIME!!!

Agreed, Tim. If we had only known then what we know now, we would have cleaned out watch inspectors drawers of all their chains and trade ins/cast off watches, as they were practically giving them away for the storage place. Frown

Who could have guessed they would have gone through the roof price-wise for collectors 50 years later?!

Definitely happier times for the railroad watch collector.

Regards! Mark
