Good to know. I don't think many people know about this option. It cost me around £200 a couple of years ago - as you say you don't get an exact replacement of the original i.e a folded link bracelet - but a brand new bracelet at that price point is to be considered. I replaced mine because I wanted to keep the original and was worried about the functionality of a twenty year old bracelet and losing my watch because of fatigue failure.
The new and old (folded link)
I also ordered a brand new Rolex bracelet for a 1950's Oyster date for about the same price through the same AD from Rolex.
