Hi all, I stumbled across a 'rivet' bracelet & need some help in identifying if it is firstly genuine & what ref. etc

It has odd endlinks - one is '58' & one is '75'

The rivets are solid with a 'nipple' look! Also there is no ref. markings.

The clasp is a modern replacement & I think probably aftermarket!

Any help is welcomed!

Thanks RF

Looks like a bunch of parts cobbled together. It has lost most of its collector value at this point. Too much time and expense to make it right. It may partially be parts from a 7206 but who knows at this point.

It's a Frankenoysterivit :)

the #75 end link is a rare bird and suggests the bracelet originally started out in life as a 7206 for the rare 6424 manual wind precision that has 20mm lugs and no lug holes.

Hi all, yes some parts are strange!! The overall finish of the bracelet is correct & fits perfectly. Would I be right in changing the '75' end link to another '58' & the clasp for something period correct?

You can, but you will end up spending more to obtain those parts than the bracelet is worth.

I'd say if it fits, just wear it as is and enjoy it.
