I have a vintage mechanical (self-winding) Seiko Lady's Dive watch. It's small size and reduced weight I found welcome. Cost a bundle to have it refurbished, since movement was just plain worn out.

Attached a WW 2 vintage Berkeley stainless steel watch band to it. After some "try-and bend/adjust", became perfectly comfortable. Nowadays, not cheap. https://www.ebay.com/itm/389510258496?msockid=2267fbdd1ec76e75034aed2d1f376f1a
Disclaimer: no financial interest and have not bought from this vendor. Linked for image only.

This band may not fit the "gap" on some watch cases for the wrist band. Inquire first; I'd be hesitant to modify (narrow) this expensive antique band. Nylon "NATO" wrist bands for some watches, esp if the original band is falling apart and no OEM and NIB replacement available. I figure better to remove failing band before it fails completely and use appropriate substitute.

Moving to more modern electronic watches, such as Casio Oceanus.
