Hello all.
I have a number of early vintage Doxa Sub 300T divers and would, if possible, love to put some of them on BoR bracelets. I have two proper Expandro bracelets - one in good shape and one in need of a new clasp and springs - but seeing as they are quite fragile I would prefer to go with something more modern and sturdy for wearing. I know a number of folks have modified new bracelets to make them work for vintage Subs but I seem to lack that skill set. So, I would like to find something that works out of the box if possible.
Any suggestions? I suppose that going this route would mean that I will not get that perfect end link fit against the case, unless there is a solution for that issue as well. Thanks in advance for any thoughts or recommendations.
Darren

No modern bracelets stack up. To ham fisted and heavy.
Vintage are not fragile. They take a beating and keep on rolling. I repair and restore them and that’s all I’ll use.

I did a tutorial on repairing the spring pads over at the Doxa forum:

woah, super cool! I strongly dislike the OEM bracelet on my 300T. A cheapo ali 20mm-18mm BoR is on there now and its much better.
