Sacrilege?

How do people feel about putting a modern Rolex bracelet on a vintage Rolex? I would ordinarily be against it, but I’m seriously considering a 16800, and the original bracelet doesn’t have enough removable links to fit my very thin wrist. (I’ve found this to be a problem with other vintage bracelets.) The last photos below is of the watch on the original bracelet; the first and second are of the watch on the same glide-lock bracelet I have on my 126600. Grateful for this group’s thoughts.

Get a watchmaker who can remove the 'non-removable' links, and wear the good old bracelet as you should! I've never done it, but I know that our dear Lange forum moderator, CR, has. Ask him who he used; they're experts.
Thank you my friends…

I have pulled the trigger and will retain but not use the original bracelet, thus retaining the option of Mr. Blau’s solution. Better photos to follow.
