I have tried to find a style of metal watch strap and have looked on the internet but have been unsuccessful.
It was popular in the 1960's and the only way I can describe it is as a "skeleton" design.
I remember buying one in Italy.
It's been bugging me and I would be delighted if you can help me locate one.

Googled it but that's not it.
However you're on the right lines,the strap I'm looking for the metal bands are much narrower and "static" with no moving links.

How about something like this - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/19mm-Vintage-Rally-Stain...

There are a few variants of this style, Google "steel rally watch band" and you might find what you're looking for.

On the right lines but once again much less metal and more "skeleton".
Thanks for your advice.
