Collectible 40's Bamboo, Military, Bonklip St Steel Watch Bracelet 18mm BubbleBack watches

Rare Antique & Collectable 1940's CWD W80 AKA "Bamboo /Bonklip" type ssteel bracelet for sale !ITEM DESCRIPTION : The bamboo band which is working well, is stamped “CWD W 80”; Like a “Bonklip”, the strap can be adjusted to any length, from very small up to a maximum of 9½ inches (24 cms) plus the width of the watch. 

The reason that the bracelet is so much greater in diameter than even the biggest male wrist is so that, like a “Bonklip”, the watch can be around a jacket sleeve if necessary e.g. in a military setting. These bracelets, often called “bamboo” bracelets, are similar to the Bonklip watch bracelet that was fitted to many good quality military watches in the middle years of the last century. The great thing about these particular CWD W80 straps however, is that they were fitted as standard to many Rolex models in the 1920s and 1930s, 40s, including the Rolex Oyster, the Rolex Perpetual and the Rolex Imperial. They are now quite uncommon to find.
