An end attachment for watch bands which permits use of a watch band with wrist watches having different spacings between their attachment lugs. The end attachment includes a self-contained component which includes a generally tubular member, coiled compression spring means and a pair of generally tubular inserts which are slideable within the generally tubular member. One of the inserts has its inner end positioned against one outer end of said spring means, the other insert has its inner end positioned against another outer end of said spring means and stop means on the generally tubular member act upon the inserts to limit their outward sliding movements under the action of the spring means. The attachment also includes an ornamental top shell having a generally tubular portion attached about the generally tubular portion of the self-contained component and a member extending laterally therefrom with means for attaching the top shell to the end of a watch band. The top shell may be deeply impressed with the design of the links of the watch band to which the end attachment is to be attached without interfering with the sliding movements of the inserts within the generally tubular member of the self-contained component.
