Oyster Bracelet for 1016 Explorer

Hello everyone, i recently purchased a 1016 explorer (2.9mm serial number, circa 1972) on a leather strap, and I really love it.

However, I was hoping to track down an oyster bracelet for it. Would anyone be able to point me to some reference materials...I'm trying to figure out the correct end links, bracelet, and clasp.

Many thanks!
Mike

Also, USA manufactured C&I oyster. They do not have a model number or end link number.

The clasp is usually stamped with a date along with the C&I markings.
