1665 white + 9315 folded bracelet?

[stmoore]

Ok friends,

I thought I had this one put to bed in my own mind. I've done my searches and my own research, but can't completely confirm nor deny.

Did the very early 1665 great whites (early 5 mil) come with 9315 / 380 folded link bracelets?

I've seen some examples that were "complete" and unserviced with this combination, again for the early mk1 dials / early 5 mil.

From my research, I believe the answer is yes. I've found anecdotal information stating they came this way from Rolex Canada, for example. I've also found some evidence the jewelers would swap out the newer bracelets for the older folded link variants (cheaper)!

Note: anything "official" from Rolex will say the later 93150 and 580/585 end links.

Thoughts?!

Cheers!
