Don't have the tools to remove the bracelet at the moment. Any guesses on year/era?

from what i recall the folded oyster was mostly replaced with the screw link style by the end of 1973?

either way it's certainly a fantastic watch and please keep it away from RSC or anyone with a polishing cloth or wheel !

Looks like a very nice find.

What are they asking out of curiosity? (feel free to PM the response)

Its my understanding that the 7835 was around until mid 1978. I have seen folded link bracelet clasps with "C" date codes.

What are the different types of oyster bracelet and their years? Folded, riveted, and screw?

This watch is not for sale unfortunately. It is a family heirloom, my dads watch I didn't even know he had that was tucked away in a safe deposit box and only discovered whilst consolidating this week. I'm still speechless at its condition. What an amazing find!!!

thanks for that additional info. i probably got the impression they were fazed out around 1973 as i think that is about the time the screw links first appeared? however i should have kept in mind that rolex didn't actually faze out production so early as the folded link was still used by Tudor far into the 80's and early 90's.
