Adjustability of rivet/folded link bracelets

Hello fellow vintage Rolex fans

I've recently purchased a 1967 Oyster Perpetual 1002 but it does not currently have a bracelet.

I'm on the hunt for a bracelet, ideally one that is period-correct for the watch, but I am in something of a quandary and would appreciate input from those experienced with rivet/folded link bracelets...

My wrists are beyond skinny (can't even wear a sub on a 93150 without permanent links being removed) and from what I can see, rivet and folded link bracelets do not appear to be particularly adjustable.

My question therefore comes in 3 parts...

1) How adjustable are 6635, 7205, 7835 bracelets for those with puny wrists such as me? I'm not too fussed over whether the adjustment can be reversed as I don't envisage ever selling the watch, more that may I struggle getting it adjusted to a wearable size in the first place!

2) Is there a period correct bracelet reference that I'm missing from 1) that may offer a better fit/easier adjustment?

3) Should I forget about even trying to find a period correct bracelet and just go for a 78350 which I'm pretty sure will fit fine?

Pic of the watch I'm referring to...



Thanks in advance for any advice!
