As told in this thread forums/general-discussion-forum/25097-more-findsMore finds I’m in the process of restoration of my recently found Rolex 1500 Date…
I had my first talk with the AD Rolex Service, and they told me the following, concerning the bigger issues with the watch…
1. About the crystal, No problem, it can be replaced
2. About the dial, the part has to be ordered from factory, they are now working in the estimate that will be around $350…
3. The bracelet can be restored, cleaned and bring back to life… but I have an issue with this, and that’s why I’m asking for your advice and/or opinions
Altough it’s the original bracelet, it’s some sort of "small", what I mean is that the clasp is just 13 mm wide, like a ladies’ watch… 
As for the serial number of the watch, it has been manufactured in 1965, so I don’t want to put a bracelet from a newer model, because the watch will somehow loose it’s vintage value, right?
So, I’m considering to swap the bracelet for a leather strap, what do you think? I found a nice aftermarket lizard strap with the Rolex crown logo buckle (like the vintage ones), it’s 19 mm lug to lug, with 16 mm buckle
Other option is to have a Genuine Rolex strap to be installed, but I can only find the ones with a clasp, and I think it has "too modern look", the same problem with the new bracelet…
Any advice? or opinions?
Maybe I simply should "upgrade" to the newer versions of the bracelet or strap?
Thanks
