Hi Gerald, just a note on the 5646-8000 with bracelet: unless there were transitional examples, the hand set looks to have come from a 564*-7010. So potential bidders might want to take note of this aspect that might affect originality. The inside of the clasp of the bracelet should be stamped with XQB040 instead of XQB050 as per the image of the vintage GS bracelets you also shared above (though none of the listing images for the 5646-8000 shows this code clearly unfortunately).

That chart was going parabolic and every rough boy to every poindexter in America knew it

It would be 10ys before spot gold should have tempt anyone to chisel a medallion. But in the early 70s I do remember the new gold shops opening in my hometown and all the floor help wearing sidearms.
