I also have a couple of Speedmaster 69's. Both were original owner purchases. In both those cases the 1039 bracelet was slightly later than the year of production of the watch itself.
I think that originally the bracelets here were added to the watch at time of sale.
So coming back to your point I would IMHO also accept a date stamped bracelet slightly older than the 66 production of the watch.
