Hello there, I am thinking of pulling the trigger on a vintage Rolex 1675 GMT Master but I want to make sure the watch comes with a period correct and original bracelet.

Did 1675s from the mid 1960’s come with a 6636 Rivet Bracelet?

Yes very possibly (on GMT/Milgauss/Exp/BigCrown) the rare expanding Swiss Rivet 20mm raised crown:

Dealers often had drawers full of them and purchasers could choose the style of rivet eg more common 7206 fixed or
Stretch. (North America territory {and a few others}, to get round import duties, had the indigenous manufactured 'C and I' too).

Or paupers took a 22522 Tropic rubber.

Circa 68/69 saw the first 7836 folded links hit the shops.

Here's an optimistic seller ! With one for a bargain price :

Hope that helps...make sure lots of links of course !
