Gay freres beads of rice
Gayfreres Style 9-Row Beads of Rice Bracelet Type-III in Polished Stainless Steel
We have produced the Stainless Steel Rice Bracelet TYPE-III. We've tried to duplicate the solid feel and texture of the Gay Frères belts from the s as much as possible. This time, we offer two finishes: mirror and matte. Unlike the 7-link, 16mm width Type-I and Type-II, this one is made with a 9-link, 18mm width, and pairs excellently with oversized models of 37mm or larger.
For the linear end tubes on the view side, we have prepared sizes for 22mm, 20mm, 19mm, and 18mm. The bracelet length is a maximum of cm, and cm of fine adjustment is possible with the clasp. The bracelet width is 18mm, and the total weight is 40g. We will adjust the size to your wrist free of charge.
If you need extra links, one link (mm) is free for ¥ (excluding tax).

The individual links of this bracelet are arranged like grains of rice. This blueprint was introduced in the ’s and is one of the most widespread designs by Gay Frères.

In particular, this bracelet gives a vintage charm to classic watches, bringing the look (and value) of your luxury watch to the next level.
