Riveted Oyster (6636 / 7206)

The riveted Oyster is the original three-link sports bracelet, with exposed rivets on the outer edges of each link and hollow, stamped-steel construction that gives it a distinct rattle on the wrist. Ref. 6636 and 7206 were paired with early Submariners, GMT-Masters, and Explorers through the mid-1960s. Correct end-link numbers—80 for the 1675/5512/5513 era, 58 for earlier six-digit references—are critical to originality; period-correct riveted bracelets with matching end-links are one of the fastest-appreciating parts categories in vintage Rolex collecting.
