Rivet Oyster Bands
Does anyone still wear a rivet Oyster band anymore?

You can see them on old GMT's, for example.
Rolex Oyster riveted bracelets came in a normal and flexible version. The flexible version tended to wear out very quickly, so Rolex discontinued it in the mid 1960ies.

Some collectors do for originality. I found the 7206 to be a bit of a hair puller. The 6636 stretch rivet was known to be a bit fragile. Rolex fixed a warning certificate stating the watch should be removed from the wrist when winding to avoid stretch.

Yep, wear my 1675 on it's expanding 6636 but thinking of putting on a 78360 to retire the older one - need to wait on it coming back from the RSC 1st.
