Bracelet recommendation for gilt 1675

Hi all,

With everyone's help and advice, managed to acquire a nice 1675 gilt from 1966 (pics to follow)..

My question is regarding the bracelet.. Decided not to use it on it's period correct jubilee as the watch will be a daily wearer, and the pin already came out once, making me concerned about how safe it will be on the wrist..

Using it now on a 93150 with 580 end links that came from another watch. However the bracelet just doesn't feel right, firstly aesthetically (chunky bracelet on a slim case, anyone else feel this way?) and also despite adjustment by a watchmaker, the bracelet is still a little loose on my 6 inch wrist, which is weird as it wears well with my 1680.

Thus I'm seeking your advice on what would be a comfortable, solid bracelet that could serve as a daily wearer for it and look compatible at the same time? It's important too that it can be sized down appropriately for a small wrist to obtain a snug fit.

Thanks everyone...
