My first 5513 franken

Looks good!

 

"My only doubt is the rivet bracelet..."

 

Maybe go with a later model hollow mid link/solid outer link bracelet to go with the applied marker dial.

I have an MBK 5513 and tried a rivet oyster and it just did not suit me (besides pulling hair).  I ended up with a 'Mary' folded oyster and it has been fine except I had to change the last center links where they connect to the watch because they were the wrong type.  They were the.'figure 8' style like found on many rivet bracelets so I changed over to the hollow oval type.

Do you have a photo for me ?

Given that you have a late model dial with the white gold surrounds, I would think a 93150 bracelet with 580 end pieces would be the appropriate bracelet.
 
Your case looks nice- which one is it?

I purchased it in italy ... 480€ engraved marking.... it was quiet complete.. with crown & plexi.... not bad

I have with my watch maker to re-shape a little the profile but when i saw it assembled... i had to wear it immediately!!
I love it.. i know it’s not perfect but for me

My only doubt are the numbers in the clasp & in ends... and i don’t know if they are right... to be original.. Rolex e5fd61e9452241c728e95373efbfe6bd.jpg56d95237d69d298cef2736b5bdd44884.jpg

I can't read the engravings on the back of the bracelet, but judging by the picture of the back of the bracelet with the case and movement, it looks like a flimsy old Rolex bracelet to me. The rivet copies are usually much heavier- not like the light old flimsy bracelet Rolex used to make in the 60s and 70s.
