Coolest bracelet for vintage Daytona

Was wondering, on a 6263/6265, does a 7835 look better than a later (safer bet) 78350 ?

I know both bracelets, but I have no idea whether a 7835 would be not only vintage correct but also better aesthetically than a 78350.

Any other recommended choices compatible with 571 end links?

Thank you

Depends on your wrist size...bigger wrist might need a 78350 to make the 37mm (ish) case have more of a suitable wrist presence...a neater wrist will be fine with 7835/6635...the vintage lovers might say “Choice a bracelet that is from the same year that the watch is from and make sure it is correct for the ref. that you have” : )

There are plenty of four-digit Daytonas that originally came on 78350s, so those are already "vintage correct." They look great and are more secure than 7835s. I have a 6.0 serial 6263 with the original 78350 (VE clasp code), but if I had an older one, I'd definitely want it on an age-appropriate 7835.

As a side note, Rolex also offered a simple black leather strap as an option on the 6263/5 (ref. 380077). Those are great too, with slightly curved ends. Good option is you're looking for alternatives.

Interesting... do you mean the 7835 takes a bit of case presence away?

No, but since the 78350 has thicker links the overall feeling will be that the watch wears larger then the sleeker feel with the 7835...I will also get you a more modern look...
