Could you put a riveted bracelet on a 1981 sub?

Could you put a riveted bracelet on a 1981 submariner?

Did the 81 sub come with a riveted bracelet originally, or just the solid endlink bracelet.

I like the riveted bracelet because the clasp is so much thinner.

Came w normal endlink bracelet... certainly you could get a riveted bracelet on with the right endlink set. Hopefully you don’t have hairy arms bc those rivets are a MF.

Yes you can fit a rivet bracelet. I had one on my 16610 for a while. You just need to adjust the end links.

The last CI-rivets are marked 79. Would probably fit better on a plastic model rather than sapphire. No idea what you have.
