USA bracelets were provided by Dealers during some eras of import where a whole watch was taxed higher than watch parts, so they were joined up later.

Usually, the USA parts were date stamped and do not have the Swiss swirls. The clasp is also an oval-link piece but the bracelet halves are D-link, a different era. This one looks quite pristine for something 50+ years old but you need advice from a US bracelet expert.
