Hello, I have an original band for the 1950 Bulova Academy Award W but it's too small. I located another band and I'd like to add or take away links. Does this band come apart? I'd attach a picture but I'm not sure how.
This is the band on someone else's watch on here but the same as I have

The majority of expansion watch bands pre-1960 can't easily be re-sized. They were produced more or less based on the size of the average wrist (regular). Watches were sold on a regular band, but replacement bands were offered Regular, Short, Extra Short and Long. Regular (average) was basically for a 6 1/2 to 7 1/2" wrist with minor slip to minimal expansion. A skilled jeweler might be able to do it, but it will be labor intensive and expensive.
How long is the band on your watch?
