Originally it would have been a riveted oyster π
Hi all,
Just wanted to show my new Tudor 7934, I love these manual winds!
To me, it looks all good.
I do find it a little odd that the lume plot doesnβt exactly match up on the 20 marker.
Have any of you seen that before?
385 XXX serial is I think β62.
Right around that point of changing to tritium.
Anyways, any thoughts welcome.
Thanks for looking π
The end links for riveted bracelets are not removable and they have a notoriously bad fit no matter what.
Now yer talkin! A nice riveted oyster would really complete that watch. They are plentiful online and perhaps post a WTB here in this site as so far every time I post a needed bracelet on this marketplace I have found one π

The first link-to-head-link-tube can be tweaked for a perfect fit if one knows what they're doing. Watch makers well experienced in vintage Rolexes can adjust them for snug fits. There's a lot more geometry involved than one would think. Even worse with vintage jubilees with the non removeable spring bar tube. I've also seen successes with both oysters and jubilees by simply cutting off the two ends of the tube, thus making the head links removeable and capable of sitting closer to the curvature of the case. .
