Also my rolex box had Cellini II on it rather than datejust.
A diferent dealer told me that Rolex never lets you order a bracelet other than the exact one it had.

This is partially true. I just had my 1973 1675 TT authenticated by Rolex. It has always had a jubilee bracelet. They said my bracelet that was just refurbed by Rolliworks was "fragile" and in need of replacement and offered a new one (BRACELET 62523 20/16 450 22 LINKS RL18Y) but not one that originally came with my model (not available anymore) to replace the old one. I told them I wanted an Oyster and they provided a number for that one too. Again a newer reference version. If your watch reference came with both bracelets as options, then Rolex will honor that. On another note they offered me $200 off the $3800 replacement for a trade-in of my recently restored Jubilee. Nope.
