Rolex Oyster Perpetual Bubble Back Watch

When my Father past away in 84 I inherited his Rolex which is a Gold Bubble Back from the 50's era I believe. It had a Spiedel expansion band on it. I removed the band and from time to time been looking to find a period correct band for the Rolex, I know most just had a Leather strap, but I would really like to find a Rolex Gold or Two Tone band for it that would be correct. Can anyone help me in my search or give me an idea of what band to go with. Thank you.

A picture would help bubblebacks are from the 1930s-40s era, most would have had a leather band even gold models.If solid gold possible models 3693, 3696, 3725, 5011 but without picture hard to be positive.

Ok, I will take a picture of it and post it up, but for now it looks similar to this one.

Unfortunately I am having a hard time getting decent pictures of it to post. It has a serial number of 757206 Oyster Perpetual, with a white face and gold crown, 3, 6, and 9 numerals and hour markings.
