Well I ordered this bracelet for my 6105 looks like it would work and even looked vintage. Well I got it and the end links were 19 mm but not wide enough to fit the 6105 case this is the first time I ever got a bracelet that the end links don't work. I sent it back and he was going to send me another but now he wants to give me a refund I guess the rest of his stock the same and will not fit. He is still selling them so don't buy or you will be pissed. I even used a needle nose pliers to try to widen it did not work.

Probably better off buying from Swedefreak. More expensive, but better quality and fit.
That said, I think the 6105-8110/6105-8119 looks and and feels better on a strap.
Best wishes,
Myles

I got one of those straps some times it's a little loose and if I go to the next notch it's to tight. So that's why I was going to try a bracelet thought it would fit right I do better with bracelets.
