Is it worth it to whom? For what purpose? I think only you can decide that.
To me a restored vintage bracelet has no greater worth than an unrestored one. I would prefer to keep the bracelet in its original (worn) condition and wear the watch on a new service replacement bracelet that I can be confident in it’s security and longevity. If this bracelet is no longer paired with the original case it was sold with then it would have even less value to me anyway. But these are just one guy’s opinions |

The bracelet in the picture is not from 1973 since 93150 bracelets did not exist then. The earliest 93150 bracelets are from 1976 approximately. The one in your pictures are from the early 80s judging by the type of clasp. The seller seems to have edited the picture of the clasp blades to not show the date code, ask for a picture of that.

There are no numbers (date codes) on the clasp attached to the bracelet only just noticed, It is very used and suit a repairer or enthusiast Erm I'm looking for a used 93150 bracelet but not one that is overly worn out, the vagueness of the seller just adds concern ..... so my search continues, many thanks for the input, "H"
