What I really like about rivet bracelets is the way it makes the watch head look as "one" with the end links.
Folded is great is well and I enjoy the thickness / taper vs. heavy oyster.
I have my doubts about rivet durability as well.. but I have never heard any complaints about a rivet failing. Also, Michael Young mentioned here that in his experience rivets are incredibly strong - and he has definitely seen his fair share of bracelets over time.
