Help needed looking for vintage bracelet

Hi guys,

I have this vintage Tudor 7909 and while I already have the rivet bracelet with closed endlinks, I'd like to hunt down a bracelet from around that era with straight endlinks? I've seen them in Tudor literatures but thus far I have no luck landing one. I wouldn't mind if it's original Rolex or aftermarket. In fact I've seen an aftermarket one on a Tudor for sale on Chrono24 but that is sold with a watch which I have little interest in.

Anyone with info as to where to look (or the bracelet reference) is much appreciated, thanks! Cheers,

Richard

An original straight end link bracelet from the 1950s would cost you thousands. The current Tudor straight end link bracelet is too wide to fit your 19mm case. I would say, just hunt down some straight end links and have a watchmaker swap out the end links on your current rivet bracelet.

Thanks for the idea of swapping the endlinks, I'll see if I could dig up more along that route. I do have the current straight endlinks bracelet, just thought it would be neat if I could sorta match the ope with the new.

Crazy money these bracelets are going for...
