Which bracelet should i get ?

Hi guys,

I have a 5513 Pre Comex dial serial number 5,21X,XXX, From 1977 on a 93150/580 bracelet. I suspect this bracelet to be a replacement bracelet this is Why i want to get the original bracelet that came with the watch back in the Time. Which one would be correct for a 77 Pre Comex 5513 ? A 7206 Rivet bracelet or a 9315 folded link bracelet ? Or another one ?

Thank You guys for your help

It very well could have come on the 93150 / 580. What is the clasp code?

Correct, 93150 with 580 ends.
They were first introduced in 1976.

Or it could have been a USA made, C&I Rivet if it came from the USA. Those endlinks were not numbered.
They were produced until at least 1977.

Clasp code is R5 which relates to May 1993 if i am correct. So it has Been replaced.

So probably the original 93150/580 that came with the back in that Time have Been replaced by another 93150/580 for some reasons

Very likely that the original was replaced at a service if the old one was worn out. I'd leave it as is since it is "correct", but if you really want period correct then you would have to source a 93150 (or just a clasp) and sell your current one. You wouldn't lose much if anything (you could even come out positive) by doing the change.
