5513 bracelet - 1966 new or vintage???

Guys,

Looking at getting a new bracelet for my sub, just wanted to get an opinion from some people that have a similar era watch ? I'm currently tossing up whether to get a brand new braceletfrom rolex, or purchase a period correct one.

My only concern is that it might look rather unusual havign an older watch on a new looking bracelet, hopefully someone on here has gone down this route and can advise as to how it looks first hand ???

in terms of cost, both are worth about the same it seems....

Cheers..

I personally prefer the folded link and hollow end link to the new solid end link or the old rivets. Just me though. So for me I usually have the wrong vintage bracelet on a vintage

the 93150 is more comfortable than the folded 9315
The rivet is beautiful but very light and might give a less solid feeling, i personally love the rivets...

Really? Folded links are my favorite in comfort

either way is good: original or new and improved - both look great
