7206 generally refers to a rivet bracelet, and looking closely at your photos I think I see the rivets. I haven't seen a gold one, but it's interesting.

Did you browse through this thread?

edit: Post #12 seems to show a gold 7205, which would be the 19mm version.

It's an amazing bracelet, and I can't imagine that too many are floating around.

It belongs to a friend overseas, who wants to use it on a 18038, I believe the the lug width on the sub is 20 and I know the the DD is 20. IDK LOL thanks for your thoughts

I agree that it's very likely 20mm wide. However, I don't know if the end-link profile will be correct for a DD. IIRC, the space between the lugs on a 18038 is less curved.

I do not believe it will work for a 18038 as I think the 76 end links are for 1803s and datejusts.

Rare bracelet that is faked so if your friend just bought it make sure it's from a trusted source. Looks good to me but I am no expert on these.

Thanks Justin, he passed. It's a weird one.

A 7206 riveted bracelet with 76B solid end pieces seems to be the correct fit for a 5 digit Day-Date.

Here's one on a 18208 from a Phillips auction a few years ago:

Unless this has been modified it looks as if the 76B end pieces have the correct profile for the Day-Date case.
