1680 bracelet options

What other Rolex OEM bracelets will fit on a 1680?

I have acquired an awesome 1680 from Jacek that came with a 9315 "folded link" bracelet. Although I love the original feel I also find it a bit nerve racking. It's very "tin can-ish" and I'm worried due to its age there maybe stability issues..

Am I just over thinking it because I'm used to the clasp of the DSSD and SubC ?

What are my options?

Thanks



Tom

try the 93150 bracelet. much heavier in design than the older 9315 old stretch bracelet.

The 93150 w/ 580s is the way to go!

They're relatively easy to source. Check in with tudorman8276 (Stan), he's a great guy.
