·Did you ever tell us the serial number so we know when the watch was made? I can't find it. It's a bit hard to recommend bezel inserts if we don't know the year of the watch.

·The correct bracelet would be a riveted 7206 with #58 end links. However, if you didn't like the price of the insert, you're definitely not going to like the price of a decent 7206. You could also fit a 7386 or 73860.
The bracelet you are looking at is wrong, and it wouldn't even fit, since it is a bracelet for a watch with 19mm lug spacing.
Edit: Sorry, I edited this post for accuracy. When writing my original answer, I somehow confused this thread for a different thread about a 5513. 😵💫

·That’s ridiculous, I think I’ll be doing the insert last that is a lot of money at this moment considering my last 2 purchases.
Correct inserts have been very expensive for a while now, and there's certainly no reason that you need to buy one. However, the prices probably aren't going down in the future.

I was wondering what end link numbers I should be looking at? I found this one so far but it seems it’s for a old Daytona.
That bracelet is a 19mm. You need a 7206 or 6636 rivet bracelet (both of these are north of $2k), or a jubilee bracelet.

·Yeah, I would definitely like to get them both the bracelet and insert corrected. I found Other inserts on Chrono24 starting from $800 to $6000
Not sure what we're supposed to do with comments like this. You seem to be interested in watches but are doing little, if any, research of your own and are instead soliciting forum members' advice and responding with comments that reflect your lack of effort.
Why are you looking at a 19 mm bracelet for a 20 mm watch, which you could figure out the lug width and correct bracelet models through one google search?
Why are you stating the market price of a good insert is insane and then stating that you found cheaper inserts when the prior one you posted was obviously incorrect for the watch?
I was kind enough to link you to my GMT website in a prior post, which has detailed descriptions of all the different parts you'll need. Please refer to it and stop expecting others to do your research and work for you.
