Bands for Ladies Watches
I am currently having a 1932 Hamilton Victoria ladies watch restored. Could someone direct me to a supplier of silk grosgrain bands, and appropriate fittings?

James,
Welcome. It is my experience that there is no good quality grosgrain on the market. The stuff that is sold in fabric stores here is of flimsy qulality and might last a week on a wrist. I've recycled old lengths and substitute with anything I can find.

The hardware survives a lot better. I find plenty of the fittings at the flea market and marts. If you run out of luck I would be happy to help.
