1974 Airking Precision 5500

Hi Guys
looking for some advice please. My dear dad has given me his 1974 5500 and i am looking for a right bracelet replacement. I stupidly purchased from some guy a 78350 with 557 ends which....... look after more inspection look fake...
but I am not 100% what are the bracelet and end links for a 1974 5500? can you help because i look at the 557, it exposes alot of the watch, is that normal?
Many Thanks

Either a 7835 or 78350 bracelet. I would put the 78350 on since it has solid lugs and easy to change out the links. 557 end links should be correct. They will be loose on the lugs if they are worn or if the lugs themselves are no longer true on the inside edge of the lug. Keep in mind that the end links are pliable and may need to be fitted to the case.
