1665 Bracelet

[buckeye]

I have an MBW DRSD which I'm starting to "fix up"...I also have both a regular "flip lock" bracelet and a nice riveted bracelet. Is one more accurate than the other and/or more desirable? I need to put the one I don't use on another watch....so which would you use on the DRSD?

thanks for the advise.

I like the rivet.

The riveted was not original to the DRSD, but some like the vintage feel that it lends. It's really a personal choice...you can't go wrong.

For a Double Red... You can use either, really. The DRSD 1665 was introduced in 1967- The upper end of the time scale when the rivet (7206) was used. Alternatively you can use a genuine folded link (9315) bracelet, as that was introduced in the later 60's to early/mid 70's; from then on, a heavy link (93150) was used, which is also susequently what is used to replace old, tired bracelets when sent in for service.

Thanks for the info and opinions...I think I like the way the riveted bracelet looks and I'll go with that...
