Full disclosure; the bracelet on the stella 1802 is dated to 1976 and is a replacement bracelet on that watch. 1976 is close to the end of the 18XX series so the SEL was available at least in the last days of that series.

Here is a non SEL oyster I had from 1969...

I kinda like it, but I’d have to have one with a fluted bezel.

It’s really not for me. At a risk of sounding rude, it looks really tacky to me.

Classic DAY-DATE. Top Marks... Would love to have one especially on that tuna can strap executed in 18k ~ !

Here is my vintage DD with rivet bracelet. Sorry I don’t have better shots of the bracelet. Just pulled these shots from the camera roll. I’ll either take new pics or find some others.

No apologies needed! There's nothing wrong with those pix. In fact, they're Great! Thanks for posting them.

Solid end link rivet oysters are real and were mostly found on 1802 DDs which came with a smooth bezel...here's another one from 1972.
