C&I bracelet question

Hey gang,

Tried looking around here and via google, but couldn't find the answer to my question, though I'm sure it's an easy one for the multitude of experts on this forum.

Are all C&I rivet bracelets the "expandable" kind, with springs between the links? Or were some made with "fixed" links and no springs?

I've been trying to find a few of the former expandable-type links, which has been proving difficult.

Thanks!!

Some fixed and some springloaded. I guess a fixed can be converted to a springloaded if you would like that so links should be similar except from the springs.

Thanks! Seems like the springs are the first thing to go on those. I wonder if anyone has had experience rebuilding those links.
