Help with the bracelet on my 1675 please!
Hi, I desperately need a link for my pre-1971 1675, does anyone here know what model oyster bracelet this is? Thanks so much!

Looks like a Swiss Rivet
and if correct should be 58 endlinks with a 7206 (swiss)

That bracelet looks super short on the 6 side. Only 4 links! No wonder you need another link. When new, that bracelet would have had 13 links total.

EBAY or a watch repair place that specializes in bracelet restoration, they may have some spares.

And you’ll want a Swiss rivet vs US rivet
Note the difference in rivet heads...

I would just send the bracelet off to Rolliworks in San Francisco and have them do a restoration on it. They will add the correct number of links as well as install the correct rivets. They will also correctly polish the entire bracelet. When you get it back it will look brand new and only cost about $300-500 give or take. When it is all said and done, you will have a bracelet that is worth $1500-2000.
