I just purchased this watch last night so it is not in my possession yet. I like metal bracelets, I could go with something else I'm looking for suggestions. Any thoughtful input would be appreciated. Also there is some wear. Anyone have any suggestions of how to touch up the bezel. Thanks.

It is a nice looking Colt. If you want the bezel cleaned up, there are a number of people out there that could do that for you without breaking the bank. Jack at IWW comes to mind along with Duarte at Northeast Jewelers. You could send it in to BUSA for a check over and service and have them spruce it up.
I am not sure if those came on a bracelet or not back in the 90s but if so, it may be possible to find one on watch forum sales sub forums. Good Luck.

not sure how it would look on a shiny silver bracelet, with a black bezel.
Being a military inspired watch, I'd see it on a bund pad rather, that might help also with making it appear a bit larger / chunkier, since I think that's a 38 or 39mm, rather small by today's standards.
