GMT 1675 folded to C&I bracelet.
One of the reasons I love to collect Rolex brand watches is that they are a lot like classic cars. You can mic and match parts from different years or models to suit your fancy.

I've had my eye on owning a rRiveted bracelet for some time.

Last week I picked up a nice C&I bracelet for my GMT 1675.

Happy times.

That what I'm thinking as well !

Also I get tired of wearing a heavy modern watch.

A vintage Rolex is light and easy on the wrist.

Is that a C&I?
How did you get the end links to match your lug profile so well?

Rivet bracelets are great !! i often read that the 93150 are the most comfortable but i have several types ( C&I, 7206, expandeble rivet, 93150, 9315,...) and they are all fantastic...

now go and get yourself a nice jubilee for your GMT (talk about comfort...) !

I wore a C&I Oyster rivet bracelet on my GMT 16750 for several years. It is a great bracelet and wears much lighter than the 78360 or 93150 Oyster bracelets. I have since replaced it with a Jubilee bracelet.
