RSC Service Bracelet for vintage Explorer II

I have a vintage Explorer II ( Model #1655).

In hopes of preserving the original bracelet, I have taken it off and replaced it with a NATO strap.

In the meantime, I'm curious as to what type of bracelet and end pieces (original Rolex part numbers) would be fitted to the Explorer II if I were to send it to the Rolex Service Center. It is 20mm at the lugs.

I do realize if I were to send it to RSC, they would remove my vintage parts and keep them.

My question is more about what part numbers I should be searching if I were looking for a newer steel bracelet and end pieces.

Send your original bracelet to Rolliworks and have it rebuilt. For about $300 it will come back to you looking and functioning nearly brand new.
