1016 Bracelet ID from 1 Rivet Link - Help
I bought my 1016 new in 1967 ($187 and have the full set including receipt, hang tag, chronometer certificate, manual, and the box), wore it daily for years and went through 3 bracelets: the original rivet bracelet, a Jubilee market "8-70, B-219, Rolex USA" with 50 end links, and the current 9315 with 380 end links. The watch photo is with the 9315.
I have the last two but I'd like to find a bracelet that came with the watch and fortunately kept one of the original rivet links. Can anyone help identifying the bracelet it came with from photos of this link? It may have been a "C&I" or possibly a 7206 with 58 end links. Any help would be much appreciated. |

Looks like C&I with the holes in the rivet heads

Yes, and the narrower center links. C&I on the left of this photo.

You need to find a C&I USA bracelet based on the link depicted in the first couple of your photos.
It needs 20mm end links to fit your watch. Check around and if you can't locate a decent example, let me know and I should be able to help you out. jP

Thanks guys. Are the end links numbered with C&I bracelets?
Dan S. - I'm not seeing it. Mine look like wider center links, more like the middle or right in your photo. Can you look again and confirm please. JP - I know of a C&I USA that's long enough but I have to get photos again to confirm proper center link size and end link width. If it's not right, I'll message you. Not on the subject but below is the Guaranty and Instruction page on regulating that you all might enjoy reading. |

I guess it would help if we knew which link you are posting. I assumed it was one of the links near the clasp on a C&I.

I don't know for sure but I'm guessing it was removed to size so yes, at/near the clasp.

Maybe I missed it, but if you want to identify a link the first thing to do is to measure it. Full width, width of sections, etc. Then it can be compared with known examples.
