1971 Rolex 9315 PATETED bracelet

Hi
For some reason my 1973 Double Red Sea Dweller cam with a 1971 9315 bracelet. It is a PATETED miss print one.
My question is could this have been an original fitted bracelet or do you think it is retro fitted? Also is it better to leave it fitted or look for a 1973 one to match the watch year?
Thanks,

Davey

Bracelet year, case back date code and main case number may all appear to fall within a year or two of each other --- quite normal.

Thanks for the reply
Normally I am not too fussed about the original bracelet, but nice to have the miss-spelled PATETED one with the watch. I would like to keep it like that unless its not normal to have a difference between the years.
If anyone else can confirm this that would be great.
