Question about 1978 Rolex bracelet
EDIT
Hello TRF, I am seeking a bracelet for my 1500 and wondering if any enthusiasts can help with this one I have found. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Rolex-78350...wAAOSwKU1ejiuV Thanks in advance |

They were onto the 78350 solid link by 78, this one is a folded link, the style prior. It will fit, but not the proper one for the year.

ahh thank you so much, so I am seeking a 78350. all 19mm 78350 should fit? there's no special lettering or reference that will make it incompatible?

The bracelet appears genuine, it has 19mm end links and an "H" clasp code which indicates 1983.
The listing depicts a solid link bracelet - not a folded link as someone else mentioned. During 1978, I've seen watches with the older style folded link 7835 bracelet and the replacement 78365 solid link bracelets. The 78750 19mm bracelet should work on your watch. The only issue might be the fit of the 557 end links. Not all end links fit the same. If I had to guess, one way or the other based on previous ownership of a few 19mm Rolex, I'd say these end links would work on your 1500.
