Wanted:32mm gold-tone metal band, single lug(notch in case)

[retroleds]

This is the band for a National Semiconductor calculator watch...this one is actually marked Novus, in gold-tone. Works perfectly but no band. Darn! Opening in case is 10mm.

I have a SS case (NS variety) + band in good condition, module + LCD dead - you could maybe make a nice complete SS out of it.
It is complete except for one of the pins to attach the band to the case.
Photos available on interest.

This offer is for others as well in case Ed is not interested.

Thanks Rewolf. I'll keep it in mind. I think I'll hold off a while, as the case is really nice and I've never seen the Novus variety before, just the National Semiconductor model. The gold with the black around the screen is very nice....I almost thought of putting a black leather strap on, but I know that is heresy to the purist collector. I hope someday we can modify watches like people do classic cars and not be looked down at for having not kept the piece "all factory".

Someone else contacted me to see if I wanted to sell the movement. Watch collecting is like love, hard to get compatible pieces together in one place.

Fortunately you didn't even think about it
