Over the years I have looked around for "as issued" straps for these watches. The straps on the watches I have examined could have been original or replacements - it's hard to tell. It may be that straps were not marked with a broad arrow, but in this I am only speculating.

One genuine band made and used in England in WWII was the "Bonclip." These would be acceptable on any of the above watches.

In the event anyone finds additional information I would be pleased to read more.

Best regards,
Greg

Hi Greg,

Yes the Bonklip is the only one I'm sure of, but they were only RAF....and I dont really want them anyway, its the leather and/or canvas types that interest me.
