Thanks to my watch restorer in Arizona and another member also, in New York, my AD added this original Swiss Rivet bracelet to my GMT. It really makes the watch as it is extremely comfortable with. A perfect fit. Looking at page 312 of the 3 photos of the 1967 one in The Best of Time Rolex Wristwatches by Dowling and Hess, it appears the same.

My photos.

Having trouble reducing files, but I will post more.

7206/58

Born 2/67.

It is on my 1962 1675.

Those are great bracelets. I actually just picked up a 7206 with #80 endlinks from 1962.

If you host the photos elsewhere (I use Imgur), then you can just add bbcode links to the full-size photos.

Dan - many thanks!

The bezel insert and GMT hand are not period correct but they will be replaced by my watch restorer who just returned my 5513… see below!

You want to post the BBCode link. Then the photo will display in the thread.

Thanks for your great contribution to the board. I got downsizing software and did it this way.

The 7206 looks all good to me. As you noted, the insert on the GMT is a hooked-2. The 93150 has grooves in the flip-lock, so it may be later than the 5513, which is no big deal.

On the insert, should it be a nonfat font bezel insert because the born date is 1962? The SN is 694996. Of course it needs the smaller GMT hand.

It looks like this is a period correct bezel insert. Looking for the smaller GMT hand and from photos, I understand what it is.

The bracelet, the clasp, it’s all sublime … lovely

I owned one from a 1.7M serial 5513. It was a joy to wear.
