All stainless steel, the riveted bracelet has an extra link that will be included in the purchase, can fit 7 inches wrists.
The watch wears bigger than its classical midsize, and hugs the wrist beautifully. The tuxedo California dial, which I'm unsure if is original from 1956, is the real star of the show, and has developed a lovely tropical patina, visible especially in sunlight. The movement caliber is a Rolex 1210, that's been serviced and taken care of through the years.
