My understanding is the same, which is why . . .
. . . it doesn't matter so much in my view whether a bracelet was originally sold in conjunction with a particular watch. Case in point: my first Mk II, acquired . . .
. . . from the first owner's brother, came with its original bracelet. The second Mk II . . .
. . . has a correct 1159 bracelet with (unfortunately clipped) correct 154 end pieces, but acquired separately.
If I still had both and were to put them up for sale, the origins of their respective bracelets wouldn't be factored into pricing. (The clipped end pieces would, but that's a separate issue.) One could make a case that a verified matching bracelet on a more desirable example (like your 145.022) would command a premium, but it would likely amount to a marginal difference.
In other words . . .
