Vintage Bracelet conundrum... thoughts welcomed

[007Sub]

So i just purchased a 6636 C&I USA Rivet bracelet for my '68 tudor sub. The bracelet is from 1970 and in quit some amazing shape for it's age. With that said though, the end links do not sit firmly between the lugs (you know how older bracelets can have a bit of play..) Well i tried to make them a little wider... this didn't help. My feeling is that the more a bracelet moves at the lugs the more wear on the precious writing there... and thats no good.

Heres the other thing. The bracelet is too big for my small wrists... so I would need to have a link removed. I'm not sure it will be worth doing all of this hence my considering selling it and finding a more modern band. Still i love trying to keep things period correct.... AND this band has VERY LITTLE flex. Its in pretty good shape overal... I just don't know what to do. Keep it and get a link removed and try to get end links adjusted... or sell it and move on in my search of perhaps a 7206?

Thoughts would be appreciated! I'll post some photos below.
