Just picked up a vintage Sub 5513

Greetings...

After a very long search, I finally bit the bullet and acquired a 5513 w/ serial number 1.7mil dating to around 1967. I really love the watch and I have a few pics to share.

It knowingly came on a USA rivet bracelet, however, I believe the end links are most likely not Rolex...not certain though. There are no markings on the back of the end links.

Can anyone give some advice on the bracelet? If I were to look for a new one to better match the watch to make it period correct, what exactly should I shoot for? Would a 7260 with 80 endlinks provide a much better fit to the case? I would really appreciate any sources if you think that would make the most sense.

Aside from that, the bracelet fits my wrist very well and it's very comfortable. And the watch is keeping perfect time!

Thanks again in advance for any help and/or suggestions!

Regards,

Stevet
