I think by "bezels" you are referring to what we call "insert" or "inlay". The bezel is actually the metal ring on which you fit the insert.

The thing you have to know if that they are two different sizes of insert depending if you have a submariner or a sea dweller. For instance, a gen sea dweller insert will not fit a submariner and vice versa. So it is probably that you are trying to fit a gen submariner insert on your sea dweller or the other way around!

Hope i have been clear and hope that helps

thanks for sharing! What is the official price in the US for this model by the way? In Europe, it is about

So here is mine with dial and hands aged, on a historically correct swiss army 1950s backpack. Still not beat up enough, but will do that during my next deployment

This is so nice!!!! Which base watch did you use? What movement do you have in there?

Anyhow, congratulations for this beauty

Well, you may be on to something RM! I have 4 gen 93150's and all have rounded ends like the pic of ubi's gen 78360.

But the guy says gen Rolex... might ask him where it came from.

All of my bracelets are pre-2000, 3 of the 4 are 70's and early 80's. The 4th may have a 98-99 clasp and also be 80's- I just don't know!

I actually hope not to be on anything!

With the little knowledge i've acquired, it just looks too much gen to be a rep bracelet. The printing of "93150" is really good as the general appearance. I'll be able to say more when i have the links on hand. So i really hope that this double weird looking ends are only how rolex made them afterwards.

It could even make sense. Why would rep makers loose time with making a double hole thing when they could just make a simple rounded one??? Seriously?

So my hope is it is something that came on the later version of the 93150. If only someone could confirm that, i'd be off the hook! Hope i haven't spend

I think gen also but this last endlink tube thing bugs me so much!

Everything looks fine to me. The 93150 links have a flat top '3' in 93150- the rep makers haven't caught on to that yet! The end links are also correct as are the hollow mid-links. Price is decent, but it's somewhat short- w/ end pieces and a clasp it's probably less tha 6-1/2"- w/ case it would be tight on a 7-1/2" wrist.

Since you own a gen with probably a 93150 bracelet, maybe you could check out something on yours. The thing i'm not sure about is the end of the bracelet where you are supposed to put the endlinks.

Here is a picture to illustrate what i mean (Ubi's credit for these ones, i think everyone will have recognize the marble )

Gen 78360 vs Rep 78360:

Even for general purpose, it would be interesting to know if Rolex ever change their designs for the 93150 bracelet.

Dear all,

As someone raised some concerns, i'm wondering if the bracelet links you'll find here are genuine.

What is your opinion?

My concern are specifically adressed to the end of the bracelet where you are supposed to put the endlinks. Somebody told me most of the gens where all rounded and not with the "wave" you can see on this one. Would it have something to do with Rolex changing their design a bit or is it just a sign it is fake?

Thanks in advance for all the help provided,

Cheers

Thanks RM, the forum appreciates it.

Without the ongoing support, this place would cease to be.

And a lot of information and wisdom would be lost.

We need as many supporters as we can get.

Thanks again.

You are more than welcome. What i gave or share is not even enough for now, judging by the knowledge i've acquired these past few years. But it's coming!!!

Thought i'd share this with the community. Not to brag or anything but more to encourage all the members that didn't do it yet to consider for a second what this forum is sharing with them.

It took me a while to understand the necessity to donate to the forum. At first, i joined but didn't log to often, taking bits of information there and there. It actually took me a lot of time to purchase my first rep: almost two years i'd say. Along the way, i realized how great this community was and how important and fair it was to contribute to the whole thing. I found so many great members and information that you can't find easily elsewhere and even sometimes can't find at all! Even for the gen watches, given the fact that people here are specialized on rep, we have the knowledge of do's and dont's.

Today, i log in almost every day and i find myself coming here just to hang, read stuff and all rather that just looking for info for myself. I log in to learn of course, to look at all the amazing stuff that is going on (projects finishing up, etc) but also, when i can, to share the knowledge i acquired!

That is why i renewed my subscription for a year.

Next time, i'll go Platinum that's for sure!

I hate to be the bearer of bad news.

That's allright! Next time i guess!

Nice collection you got there JMB! PM me if you'd like to part with that Black Air King, i might be interested.

Sure will!

In fact I'll even tell you how much I got for it!

That's nasty!

Nice scores! If you ever have another 5513 for under a grand laying around, let me know

Ubi's birthday is approaching then!!!!!! Sweet gift!

Classic piece! Love that textured/layered dial!

Great piece and great story!

I love the fact that you chose a space dweller dial instead of the basic explorer one. It adds character and style to the watch!

Enjoy

So, can anyone (aside from chieftang) figure out the significance of the custom serial I had engraved?

I'd say birth dates for kids and wife, similar to the engraving you got for your 5514! Gotta check though! Hold on

Very nice thus far, T!

Hopefully some of the things we've discussed offline were fairly easy to rectify?

Nice new signature pic you got there Ubi!

Congrats to Stilty! Awaiting on the finished product, as we all are!

Well, first off, judging by the sticker, it is vintage. Juding by the size between the lugs and form in general, my guess would be sea dweller or submariner. The A starter serial number puzzle me however. I can't go any further! Tell us what is this new toy you got there !

No-date is the nicest Sub, vintage or new. My old man has a modern no-date, I have always admired the simplistic look. I actually prefer this over the cyclops models.

If I ever buy another gen Rollie, this will be the one.

Those frankens look amazing Ubi.

PS: Will Rolex continue to produce the old styled no-date along with the 2010 fat lugs Sub?

I fear not, and that's a shame, especially since the last ones were 4liners 14060!

That is one hell of a collection of no date subs! Dunno about others, but i particularly like the last sub you got there!

However, the explorer does look nice aswell! To be honest, they all look incredible!

Ubi is da Man!

Pffff, it's O.K.,.....I guess

No kidding, that's what ubi is probably thinking! "I guess it is allright"

That is what you had on the side! As always, Ubi style should be a brand in itself

I think everybody will agree that, chrono wise, you have exactly the right amount and the right models. A big to you my friend

That is quite some hell of a daytona!

what hap to previous versions? any for sale? ; )

+1. Of course congrats on this fine purchase of yours! You'll enjoy it for years to come but let us know if any of the previous versions are still available! Someone needs to take up the journey you just finished!

These fit gen-sized bezels (check with your rep seller if your rep fits this description), click here

It is for my MBW 5513 who has already been fitted with a newer style gen service insert without the need to shave it. So i guess it should fit no problem! I am looking for a fat font to age!
