Correct Bracelet for a 1977 Oysterdate

Hi all,

About 10 years ago I bought a rather nice 1977 6694 Oysterdate with original black face and gold hands (photos to follow later!!). Unfortunately it came with a leather strap which I never really liked so ended up not wearing the watch as often as it deserved. Recently I bought a 1971 Q4 folded link 7835 bracelet with 257 end pieces off eBay at a really good price and although the bracelet looks great, the end pieces seem to be just a bit loose and 'rattly'!!

Does anyone happen to know what the correct oyster bracelet and end pieces would be a good match for a 1977 Oysterdate or have I already got the right ones?

Many thanks.

257 endlinks were designed for 34mm Perpetual model cases. 357 endlinks would be the proper ones to fit your watch with that bracelet. But the period correct bracelet would be a 78350.
