Orient 60th Anniversary Watch with Stainless Steel Band
Replace Black Leather Band with Speidel 18-22mm band
Anyone find any better bands that fit this watch let me know.

I am confused.. Why would you want to change the hands on a limited edition 60th anniversary watch?  Surely there are other watches that are better for modding..

I have to agree with Gary......JMO ...it's a bit too rugged looking for that piece.....but if it appeals to you go with it....it's not horrendous

Have you thought about a Presidential Style band?

I think that they offer a nice clean look.  Try looking at internationalwatchman for some nice examples.
