Thoughts on this 7206 from '68

Just got this for a snowflake that i have. I wanted to make sure all is well. Ebay purchase so i have a right to return. Any thoughts? Any idea where to get a link added that does not require that i send it to Hong Kong? Seems pretty tight amd obviously restored.

Try and get a close up of the clasp markings and where the end link connects from the top side on both ends. From your first pic the connection looks different depending on the side. Also 56 end links?
My 66 7206 has 80's.
It is a pain to add links by the way...

I have a 7206 from 3rd Quarter of 69.

Has same stamping as yours. 7206 with the 0 closer to the 2. the 58 same stamping.

the 80 end links are for subs. 58 end links fit 1016/5508/5510/1675?.

The 58 end links command more then 80s.

Buy from Ming? He sells a lot rivet bracelets on VRN.

Not strictly true, my one owner 1968 GMT came with a 6636 with 80 end links.
