I have a 1966 Oysterdate Precision - 6694, when i purchased it it came with a leather strap. I am looking to replace that with a genuine stainless bracelet, i know the watch has 19mm lugs.

could you point me in the right direction edited to conform to TRF rules.

Thanks!

Check the sales section here. A 78350 will do and is easier to adjust. Endlinks 557.

Otherwise a period correct, 19mm rivet will do.

Be careful on this one because "sipping is for the buyer"

Well a new bracelet would cost you almost as much as your watch is worth in todays market.And even a good second hand bracelet would be quite expensive especially the rivet type or folded. Mainly because they are getting now quite hard to find in good condition, but both the early 1970s folded 7835 Oyster bracelet, and the later 78350 would fit .

I also have a 6694 which came on a strap; I then had an aftermarket heavy type, similar to a 78350 but it was quite heavy; I found a set of the correct endlinks - 257's - and then a 7835 folded type from the right year to match the watch; albeit on the wrong 361 ends, so I swapped them over and it feels soooo much better! The 6694 deserves to be on a good bracelet, and I think that you find a 7835 easier to find in good condition than the 7205 (rivetted) or 6635 (stretchy).

The 7835 was introduced in '67 when the 7205 was discontinued; the 6635 finished in '65, so you have options - my bracelet cost 160 UK Pounds from a Hong Kong Ebay seller with 100% good feedback, and as I paid by Paypal there was a level of guarantee that I was comfortable with. I'll PM vendor details on request.

Happy hunting

Hi everyone, if I have 1982 Rolex 6694. What will be the endlinks. Will 78350 and end links 557 fit?
