Icon14 Correct Bracelet for GMT Matt in 1967-68 ?

Hello all

What is the correct bracelet for this first version Matt dial? Would that be rivet, 7836 or Julibee?

Since when the GMT 1675 started to come with Julibee bracelet please?

Many Thanks for help!!!

Regards
Sg

I have seen both on that watch; which one feels best to you?

Maybe not in big difference in terms of wearing, trying to search a correct one though...

Correct is either jubilee or rivit and depending on where sold new the maker of band. Example watch sold in USA would have USA made band, Europe a Swiss made band. Feel free to pm me if you are looking for one

Late 1960s is what I always understood as the time frame for the Jubilee being an optional bracelet on the GMT. I can't specify a specific year but maybe MP or watchcrank will see this thread and have some additional info.

Thanks all for input...should it assume that the watch should have come with rivet originally or there were already 2 versions (one with rivet; one with Julibee) after 1967?

Jubilee or rivet are both ok and as stated can be from various manufacturers.
