Help with vintage oyster date

Hi

I am looking at getting a birth year date/datejust from 1973

I am looking at one and been told the serial number is

229xxxx

I have tried looking on various sites for the answer but it doesn't match up.

Is this serial around 1973?

Also while I'm asking, it's on an oyster bracelet which has gaps due to age. Any idea how much it would cost to get this sorted?

Thanks

The information that I have puts that dated to ~1968

As far as the bracelet stretch..........You would need to post pictures to really get an idea of the condition of the bracelet and the possibility of getting it repaired.

Thanks Jason. This confuses things. Photos are pretty poor so looking like I'll leave this one

Thanks again
