Pre-Bond 200 2850.50 bracelet link question

[Rogerg]

I did an internet search but couldn't find a direct answer so I'm hoping someone here can help. I just picked up an above mentioned Ref and it needs a few bits and bobs. The main thing is a couple of links as it's a bit short for my8" wrist. I was wondering if the links are the same for those with 1455/453 vs 1465/453 clasps? I was also wondering if there is a repair for a loose bezel (spins fairly freely with only a hint of clicks) and is it something I can find directions for?

If I remember correctly, the first generation of these watches had a different bracelet (thiner) from the later ones. Of course the later generation bracelet is the one you find extensively. The second generation bracelets have two holes in all the links and use a larger pin when first generation have no holes in the fixed links and only one hole in the removable links.
Hope it helps.
