1963 fliplock questions..

I have this C&I bracelet.
It's apparently a replacement for the original on a 6538 sub.
It's missing an end link.
I'm thinking of having it restored.
This is my dilemma.
Should I spend the money to have it restored, hopefully restorer (MY) can source appropriate link.
Or should I start looking around for an original bracelet, which would not only be expensive but would probably be looking at a restoration?

I'm just trying to restore it to a wearable, legacy condition watch, but comfort and security are also concerns.

Send it to Michael. He can very easily fix it and put a matching endpiece on the bracelet. It looks like the links are in decent condition, so I'm not even sure you need a full restoration on it - just end piece.
