"2. USA Made Riveted Bracelets -- There have been more than a few Red Subs that were purchased from original owners that had USA Riveted bracelets on them. ...These bracelets have a cheaper feel than any of the other bracelets."
Al, I am the opposite of you and having never worn a rivet bracelet until I got my 5512, prefer it over the standard Sub bracelet. I found the clasp to be the weakest part of the bracelet.

Philipp, may I also add my thanks for your superb website, I throughly enjoy reading your very informative posts and drooling over some amazing watches

Regards

Tony
