Other forum posts suggest that rolex dealers in the 70s/80s would happily sell any bracelet the buyer requested for the watch, I've even seen one on a correct jubilee but again unsure if it was original.
For my 1655, I just needed to tune up (rebend) the stretched out end links and it fits perfectly against the case and looks great.

My example actually had a Jubilee band from new so it's certainly possible ha. This might be sacrilegious - I like the look of the 9315 more than the 7836 and the "security" of the clasp action seems better.
