dieselpower Posted November 6, 2010 Report Share Posted November 6, 2010 Are there any 19mm rep folded link bracelets on the market yet? Are they any good? I am putting together a 6263 project and am unsure which direction to go with the bracelet. I had a gen 6263 with 316 (I think!) endpieces and I liked the fact that it was a gen and I felt it 'legitimised' the watch somewhat. I am in the market for another gen but don't like the prices I am seeing. To all 6263 experts which way would you go? Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freddy333 Posted November 6, 2010 Report Share Posted November 6, 2010 I am sure there are 19mm folded link & rivet rep bracelets floating around, but none, that I am aware of, have made it to our favorite sellers listings yet. But, seeing how popular the rep 20mm rivets are, I am sure it is only a matter of time. Yuki sells a solid link 19mm 78350/557 for a very reasonable price that I think will fit a 62xx Daytona (I only use gen 7835/357s on mine, so I cannot guarantee the fit) Alternatively, here is a decent gen 7835/357 for a good price from a reliable seller.

freddy333 Posted November 6, 2010 Report Share Posted November 6, 2010 Actually, I think I may have just found a rep 7835/257 here. It seems to contain some of the same issues that ID rep 7206s from their gen counterparts. Any Daytona mavens care to comment? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dizzy Posted November 6, 2010 Report Share Posted November 6, 2010 Get a gen bracelet on ebay. I got a 7205 for a really good deal. Its looks awesome on my 6265. You can buy them all day long for $200-$300 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dieselpower Posted November 7, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 7, 2010 Cheers for the advice chaps. I must agree that gen is the way forward. Had a really nice 7835 but sold it with the watch - gutted A hunting I must go, but really thats part of the fun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dizzy Posted November 7, 2010 Report Share Posted November 7, 2010 The 20mm versions are EXPENSIVE but the 19mm bracelets are cheap. The rivets looks awesome on a 6263 style Daytona. I absolutely love mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gplracer Posted November 7, 2010 Report Share Posted November 7, 2010 (edited) I asked Mary and she looked but could not find one. Someone out there has one but no one can find the source. Edited November 7, 2010 by gplracer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dieselpower Posted November 8, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2010 @ Dizzy, Thanks for advice and encouragement! I did indeed jump in quickly and I might have made a mistake. The bracelet I have bought has not got 357 endlinks (my mistake) it comes with 361 end links. Is this a problem? What's the difference? it is probably going to be fitted to a DW 7750 case. Cheers.

Dizzy Posted November 8, 2010 Report Share Posted November 8, 2010 No idea.. might be endlinks for an Airking or something. No big deal Im sure you can make them fit with a little bending if needed. No matter what end links you get, they will fit better than the DW endlinks.. even a 20mm endlink for a 1665 sea-dweller is a closer fit than the DW 571 endlinks in 19mm... haha. I threw my DW endlinks in the trash after trying to dremel them into submission. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

freddy333 Posted November 8, 2010 Report Share Posted November 8, 2010 Diesel - I think you may be the tester for these ends. I have no idea what they were meant for, but my guess is they will fit, more or less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lhooq Posted November 8, 2010 Report Share Posted November 8, 2010 361s are a bit slimmer than 357s and are a bit loose between the lugs when the watch is unworn. However, they fit just fine on the wrist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dieselpower Posted November 8, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2010 Thanks for that LHOOQ. Just the info I needed, I am happy with 361 el's now. Beatiful Cosmograph by the way. Is there a thread detailing its constituent parts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lhooq Posted November 8, 2010 Report Share Posted November 8, 2010 Thanks! There were more than a couple of threads covering this build -huge headache that it was- but these are the main ones: Mixed Results, followed by Getting Better. It took several months to get it running reliably and a lot of help from the guys here, but it was worth it. It's basically your standard DW 7750 build, with a gen bracelet, crystal, and crown. The only potential upgrade I'm mulling over is the bezel, after Freddy pointed out the new and improved Yuki unit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dizzy Posted November 9, 2010 Report Share Posted November 9, 2010 Heres a nice gen bracelet for someone in 19mm.. 13 hours left if anyone is looking for a nice gen rivet. This one has 57 endlinks. This is the seller I got mine from. Not sure if Im allowed to post ebay links but this is NOT my auction, and it will probably turn out to be a good deal for someone who needs a gen bracelet for their daytona project. ebay edit: they also have a 7835 ending about the same time.

Dani Cica Posted June 23, 2017 Report Share Posted June 23, 2017 Check this out: http://www.ttw-138.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1_89&products_id=6795 They also come with these subs as an optional. Both are 20mm though. Never seen a folded rep in 19mm. http://www.ttw-138.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1_8&products_id=16382 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vibes Posted June 26, 2017 Report Share Posted June 26, 2017 (edited) You dug up a 7 year old thread! My, how the prices have changed! The 361 end link is for a Tudor prince oysterdate. Edited June 26, 2017 by Vibes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
automatico Posted June 26, 2017 Report Share Posted June 26, 2017 "You dug up a 7 year old thread! My, how the prices have changed!" Yep, a blast from the past. No more 'Crazy Sales!' Looks to me that since Yuki is getting $189 for a rivet oyster that a whole watch with one on it for $228 is not too much to pay. The bracelet may not be as good as the Yuki model but if you figure half Yuki price ($90) for the bracelet, the rest of the watch is $138...not too bad in 2017. For $138 you end up with a complete cartel case ($75, maybe more), clone 28xx movement ($60 +/-), dial/hands ($35 +/-) that can be sold to get most or all of the $138 back. If the watch is like the pictures, it looks like there is plenty of metal around the lug holes so they can be drilled out without being too close to an edge.
