Back then, Rolex retailers had a lot more freedom with the watches that they sold. Although the Submariner has only ever been officially offered with the Oyster bracelet, there are numerous instances of bracelets being swapped out for the Jubilee, either at the request of the customer or simply to offer something different. Sometimes dials were even swapped out on other Rolex watches (like the Datejust) if the buyer wanted a different color; however Rolex no longer permits their retailers to alter their watches either before or after they are sold.
