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. |

Woohoo, I was able to fix the existing end pieces- I now have my 7928 sub on a rolex rivet bracelet.... Pics to follow later.

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...

Thanks guys...
Thanks for the support guys. I found two better fitting fuller size end pieces, and now I just need to apply scotchguard to the end pieces and bracelet so that they match the case little better. Still, the comfort is incredible. I no longer crave a 1680 as much, as my old Tudor has plenty of Patina on the dial...
