Nanuq Posted June 29, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 29, 2010 You got it, Freddy. The scariest part is that in the bends of the links, some are worn down paper thin. A good solid whack against a door frame could break one of them, and splat ... down she goes. I have a near-new 93150 that's also correct for the watch, but I just like it a whole lot better on folded oyster. So we'll see how good the "new" one is.

dbutlerman Posted June 29, 2010 Report Share Posted June 29, 2010 My dad's GMT 1675 which is on a 78350 bracelet is wearing down the same way - he won't even where the watch anymore for fear of it dropping to the floor. The local Rolex service centers will replace the bracelet for a new Gen. for <$500...I don't know if they have the same deal with folded or riveted bracelets...

Nanuq Posted June 29, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 29, 2010 I don't know if they have the same deal with folded or riveted bracelets... If only they did! Boy I'd love to get a new in-the-box 9315, a 7836 and a 7206 for less than $500 each. Instead, I prowl the shadowy halls of Craigslist and Ebay............ ............watching......

redwatch Posted June 30, 2010 Report Share Posted June 30, 2010 What do you guys think? Would it be worth looking into making some new midlinks? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freddy333 Posted June 30, 2010 Report Share Posted June 30, 2010 With the proper machinery, it should be relatively simple. The key will be getting a sample link to match. Beyond that, as long as the dimensions (including the gauge of metal) are 1:1, all you would need to do is brush the finish & you are good to go.

redwatch Posted June 30, 2010 Report Share Posted June 30, 2010 Maybe I can figure out how to make some of these: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redwatch Posted June 30, 2010 Report Share Posted June 30, 2010 Here's a great 9315 Parts List Sorry about the size. Not sure why Photobucket is re-sizing this. The one I have is much bigger and legible Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
