Tudor 1966 Oyster Bracelet

Hello,

I just have bought a Oyster Prince 7995 from 1966.
The watch comes with a no-name bracelet and I am wondering if you would know what was the original bracelet.

I suspect it is a Oyster Prince 7835 but I am not entirely sure.
Also it looks like that a leather bracelet was available but I am not sure how the buckle looked like.

Any suggestions ?

Many thanks

Found the best reference:
7205 with end links 57. If someone has one to sell, I will be happy :-)

This is correct for 1966

Sorry to ask (again). I have seen some of them (7995) are sold with a 7835 bracelet with 61 endlinks. Does this mean both endlinks would fit ?
Or does the endlink depends on the year (here 1966).
Best

My understanding is that the 7835 didnt show up until around late 67 into early 68 and you can use a 61 end link, same case radius shape as a 57 but are a bit taller for a thicker case. Normally used on the GMT and Daytona cases.
