Just another opinion . . .
Get ready for a sacrilegious comment!
These mid 1960s BOR bracelets are not "all that."
I have an Enicar BOR 20 mm bracelet and I have not worn it with either of my Sherpa Graphs as yet.
Why not?
Mainly because it has open (hollow) end-links and I see this as an issue as it is pretty much guaranties that using the BOR bracelet with open end-links will scratch up the inside of the lugs. I can't see taking the risk with a watch that is not already badly scratched up in the lug area.
And . . .
The clasp is not at all well-made by 21st century standards. There is no "double-latch" safety feature.
In the mid 20th century, perhaps the BOR bracelets of the time are about the best one could expect.
But these days, it is possible to find well-made bracelets with solid end-links which have polished edges sure to keep the watch lugs in fine fettle.
I have a Seiko Alpinist and I bought a Jubilee bracelet for it from Strapcode and it is extremely well-made with a double locking clasp and it is impossible for that bracelet to damage a watch as it has smooth solid end-links.
Nope . . .
My Enicar BOR is not for sale. Not yet anyway. If I can either find or make solid end-links for it, I will use it, otherwise it'll stay in a box for now.
I'd love to put this bracelet on a Sherpa Graph, but for now, it is only available in a 22 mm version.
22mm Goma BOR Watch Band compatible with Seiko 5 Sports 42.5mm SRPD51, 316L Stainless Steel Brushed and Polished V-Clasp
The new Goma BOR watch band with curved end link was designed for 42.5mm SEIKO 5 Sports reborn SRPD 5KX and its variants. Goma BOR is the contemporary and hi-tech version of the classic "Beads of Rice Bracelet," with a remarkable soft drape and smooth bending characteristics.

I hope I just did not get myself banned for life! ;-)
I have an original NOS bracelet for my Aqua Graph (which I'll be selling altogether at some point) but other than that, I don't like putting my Enicars on bracelets (that one actually sits wrapped up in my safe as I was worried it would scratch the lugs as Joe mentioned).
Some of the guys use the Uncle Seiko bracelets which fit perfectly apparently, so maybe try one of those?
Edit: found one on Nico's Mark IV Sherpa Graph -
