Edit: 12,95 $ is only the buckle( the endlink ?) item MOA-3C(SUB), but the entire bracelet cost 75$ :-(

Maybe I'm wrong ,

but buy the entire startime bracelet (I read only 12,95$) and use only the final endlink connector ?

It seem the 'solid' connector not 'coevo' with the period but better that the weak/poor cartel connector ..

It accept 2mm spring bar ?

Thx for the replies, I hope your comments with make him reconsider. In that case he just needs to get it serviced. Any recommendations on who could service it in EU?

Nice story and lucky your father for this Patek.

My only gift story is my first gen Rolex date steel gold that my father bought when I was 26 years old. I remember that i worn it day and night I can't able to take It off , I slept with it for 6 months :-)

I tackled this problem recently with Mary's lovely 7836 band. You can get pretty good results if you find the right bits to fit in there.

I see now your reply..above I reply to automatico.

Good solution for your GMT , but I have to buy an entire bracelet..maybe here on rwi sale part ?

And if I cut in the middle and fold my bracelet link in excess? ( that I have removed from bracelet for adjust wrist size)

But maybe the 501b is the best solution for cover this line engrave..

Ok, but before I try with a new endlink 501b maybe cover this 'shitty' notched endlink that show all the world that is a replica bracelet ..

Hi ,

if i buy the 501b maybe they cover the unpleasant notched in the final connecting  link ?

this kit ( latest 93150 +501b) was designed for 1665

anyone change the end link with this 501b ? 

I forgot to mention ( if isn't contrary to rwg rule ) that the problem on the dial/ movement that collapsed throughout the journey France - Italy I suppose for a bump , was fix today by my Italy friend nick : "Harleysta91" "Orologiaio" on RWI "la dolce vita" section.

see him during operation

In Italy there is a proverb that say: 'All world is village'

Now I tell you a little story about yesterday..

A scary evening .
The traking said that the parcel was on delivery so I wait it at home.
Than in the late afternoon the traking said delivered , i check on my mail box but I haven't received anithing!
So I call Posteitaliane and they said to send a write claim and than they will reply to me by 45 days :-(

I'm very depressed I figured that the courrier have stolen the watch and all the part end work modding was lost..or that he have delivered to another address in my city.

Than later I drag me and my depression out of my house and I check the mail box and i found the parcel ! The driver maybe was on delay and don't wait my sign for acceptance ..

Bad experience guys ..

Arrived these evening ..

I don't know the France postal system ..

In Italy the problem is that the courrier company hire foreign worker with lower skill ..also there are warehouse robber , but in my personal experience I have received always all..

Other problem is the strict custom for law about counterfeiting ..

the watch is amazing only he have get a hit during the transport because the dial moved/ rotate on the left and the hand are free , the next days I check with my watchsmit, maybe the dial and dwo break off from movement ..

...sorry mate but I don't know what you are talking about with that groove/rabbet. I bought the whole thing, rotating bezel, tension ring and retaining ring. Bought them over at the bay...easy to find...just search for 5513 bezel

WSO bezel is working fine...sits rather tight than loose

Ok tks

But do you have bought only the rotating bezel or also the retaining ring ? Do you have a link where do you bought them?

Because I read that wso rotating bezel don't have the groove / rabbet that should be embed/get stuck on the retaining ring groove/rabbet ..(I can't find the correct word )

Hi,
But the wso bezel assembly work properly or have the same problem of the cartel one and pop off when you press/tap it on finger?

Yes , right , but now is too late..the next shipping i use UPS ;-)

No unfortunately because this is a mbk I do not have a gen dial. He machined a mbk ones for me to accommodate a gen dial. But not this one.

MBK dial is good, very accurate IMHO, my cartel dial instead was a fantasy dial ..

Why's that mate?  

because RA have shipper yesterday from France, but the Poste Italiane are a risk..not for the custom but because there are many robbers..

now the watch have almost 1700 euro in work and part.

After some search i discovered on "rolexforum" that the cartel bracelet is similar to the "newer 93150 bracelet has the wedge shaped center link and it is notched.
