Correct end links, please Tudor 7928

Can any of the tudor experts tell me what the correct end links are for a Tudor 7928 (1967) that will be fitted with a 1974 Rolex USA Rivet bracelet. The watch has a 20mm leather bracelet on it now...? I think this bracelet might be my next purchase...

thanks,

It depends on where the watch was originally sold ...

A 7206 / 80 is probably accepted as the most correct option.

But for the late 60's, a 9315 folded link bracelet, a 7206 rivet bracelet and a US made rivet bracelet are all period correct.

Finally, all buyers at that time had an option to swap a jubilee bracelet on to their new Tudor or Rolex Sub too

I'm always a sucker for old leather ......

...... and leather's a great match for the splendid patina on your 7928.

Here's a couple of pics of old Tudor Subs with different bracelet options.

Bracelet arrived...

I finally decided to purchase the bracelet today . The watch is a 1966 Tudor Submariner, the bracelet is a 1974 Rolex USA item.

I found a spare end link which enabled me to connect the two pieces, though I will eventually need to find the proper end piece if I want it to look right. The fit on this old bracelet is very nice. I think it works well with the Tudor Sub...

I meant to say scotchbright, the green kitchen sponge, which seems to apply a nice event set of scratches on bracelets like this one which is too shiny;...
