If you are the owner of a vintage Heuer Autavia chronograph Heuer Viceroy 1163V or Heuer 1163T Siffert watch, you know how difficult and hugely expensive the original Beads of Rice bands are by Gay Freres. If you can even find one. Here is an affordable option, a New Old Stock 1960s/70s Beads of Rice vintage watch band that has been specially modified to have straight 20mm ends to fit the special lugs of your Heuer Autavia old chronograph watch model. You get this entire bracelet with end pieces for less than original Heuer ends would cost you alone!

We've sold 17 of these bracelets here to Heuer watch chronograph collectors. Before shipping, we test this band's fit properly on an 1163V or Heuer Siffert 1163 T watch, both of which we have in our shop. AUCTION IS FOR THE WATCH BRACELET ONLY. NO WATCH FOR SALE HERE OR INCLUDED. Message before buying if you're not sure if it will fit your watch. Make sure your case strap opening measures 20mm.

The amount you spend here will go right into the total value of your watch. If you own this iconic chronograph watch, you know GF originals are now $1500-$2000. Why not save that money for your next watch purchase instead? This 20mm wide end pieces of this band sit tightly against the case. Even original Heuer HLD and HLF ends bands have floppy end pieces sometimes that don't sit flush. This band is signed on the back of the clasp simply “Stainless Steel.” The length is 6 inches (15cm) fully extended and sizes down to 5 1/2 inches (14cm) with the adjustments in the clasp. As shown this band will fit a wrist up to about 7 1/2 inches (19cm). We can sell and install extra original links to make it longer. You can shorten the band more by removing links. Clasp is 18mm wide. Links are 3.2mm thick. Band weighs 32 grams. Please note that the installation of all Beads of Rice bands involves making adjustments with the tabs on the back of the end pieces to adjust for case clearance and to make final adjustments to those tabs to tighten down the ends.
