Thoughts on a 1961 rivet expandable bracelet

This looks legit to me but I was hoping to get some experts to chime in

My expandable (spring riveted) C&I bracelet dated 7-66 looks identical.

Bracelet looks authentic, but may be missing two links???

Matt, I've never seen U.S. Oyster bracelets with 13 links. Not saying that they don't exist, just stating here that I believe they left the factory with 12 links.

I believe you're right. Even 11 links seem to be more than enough for an average-sized wrist.

I have a 7206 and a 6636 and they both have 12 links and wear similiar to a 93150 with 11 links, havent measured them but it would suggest the rivet links are smaller, both of mine have 5 links where yours has 4. Hope this helps.

Bracelet looks good. Both my 7206 and 6636 came with 12 links. My experience is they will comfortably fit a 7..3 inch wrist with the clasp adjusted to the to last hole.
