Hi folks,
I'm looking at an early 5mil. 5513, mark 1 dial. The seller says it comes with the original oyster bracelet 93150. I would like to know whether this is the correct bracelet for this watch?
Another one I'm considering has the older folded link bracelet which according to the seller is original. Unfortunately, it has a new pearl and super dome crystal which is a replacement and was serviced in 2007.
The first with the 93150 bracelet hasn't had anything done to it and looks OK.
I know this is difficult without pics. but which do you think is the better buy? Both going for around the same price. Thanking you kindly in advance!

The 5mil 5513 would put the watch from the mid 70's and would make the 93150 correct for the period so could very well be "original". Original to the watch might be another story but time frame is right. The other watch has had a service and if it has a new pearl may also have new hands. I personally would prefer a 93150 band over a 9315 (folded link) but thats me.
Pictures are always important

93150 was introduced in 1974. Many still came with the 9315 then but the 93150 would be correct.
