Rolex Oyster 6427/6426

I purchased this 1958 Oyster. I would like to source a bracket for it in used condition. But I am very confused with correct bracket number and end link number. I was looking for the correct numbers. Any help would be appreciated

Bracket? Do you mean bracelet? Since the watch is more than sixty years old, you'd probably have better luck with your question in the vintage forum.

Welcome to TRF.

EDIT - I just did a search for you:

The vintage ref. 6426 uses a 78350 bracelet with 557 end links, according to old records. I got one of these, and it fits perfectly.

It's weird being the same age as old people.

earlier version of the 6246 / 6427 would be on a rivet - 7205

This. The rivet is period-correct. The 78350 described above will work.
