OT watch experts (or OT detectives)

This is a group of watches I bought last weekend.
I really like the band on the men’s watch. It’s not marked. Any idea where to find it? I want one for my watch. It’s kind of art deco looking.

The countertop is the nicest thing in that photo.

looks like a broken "Twist-o-Flex" type of band, but I am assuming a proprietary Timex version. You aren't going to find a new one just like that unless you get lucky and find that watch in better or NOS condition in a thrift shop or vintage watch shop somewhere.
Google Speidel Twist-o-Flex and you can get something with similar effect, just not the same detail on the portion of the bracelet closest to the lugs. Do any or all of those work? All three are interesting, not from a dollars standpoint, but just from a cool old watch perspective.

All three work, paid $1 each for them. The men’s watch may bring $20-$30. I’m not a watch expert, but I won’t pass up an automatic for $1.
I did search Speidel’s website, they have nothing like it. I’m guessing the band is from the 60’s, same time period as the watch.

Holy shite, I owe you an email! Damn, I am embarrassed! Have you made a decision yet? Either way I will drop a line later when I get home.

Antique:
Off the top of my head, Speidel and Hadley-Roma are about the only two brands that are selling expandable metal bracelets now. I haven't seen anything like that one in a long time. You might try digging into the deep bowels of Aliexpress as there may be someone making something similar.
There is also the option of posting it on the vintage forum on WatchUSeeek but there isn't a ton of traffic there. They are more likely to have run across something like this.

Ha, no worries - still grinding and searching. Picked up a Grand Seiko SBGY007 "Omiwatari" spring drive and an Orient Bambino on a lark, but nothing yet in the range you and I were discussing.
