Gentlemen,
this issue was discussed before, but I would like to briefly touch it again.
As is widely known, the JDM models came with an H-link bracelet with speedtimer clasp (XGA261), while the general opinion is that the export models were fitted with the 'fishbone' bracelet (Z039). Both bracelets are non-Stelux marked.
However, there is IMO one more bracelet that was more or less original to the Kakume export models - a Stelux bracelet (see pictures attached). It is periodically correct, plus I have seen it on too many 6138-003s to consider them all fitted with the same aftermarket bracelet.
As typical for the Stelux bracelets, it does not have a reference number. What is strange however, is that the bracelet does not have flush-fit end links but is straight-ended as typical for watches with hooded lugs.
I must also add that this bracelet was on the single-owner 6138-0030 that I bought 3 years ago, starting this whole madness.
What would you think?
Best,
Hermann
