Another Good Wrist Watch Gone Wrong E had to take off the watch to wash up. Absent-mindedly he left it there, just long enough to do a vanishing act. Too bad he didn’t have a Krementz Band. He could have slipped watch, band and all right up on his arm. That's the difference between Krementz Bands and other wrist watch straps, There is no buckle that must be opened. Instead, a neat case bolds three expanding links that permit watch to be slipped on or off— over the hand. Safer, surer, easier. Jewelers have them in gold plated casings with leather or flexible Milanaise mesh bands—87.50 to $15; also with solid 14 kt. and 18 kt. gold and solid platinum casings.
