Cats Posted November 26, 2010 Report Share Posted November 26, 2010 Personally i like the solid mid link bracelets better because the feel more solid and heavier. Does any one have experience with this bracelet of Yuki http://www.yukiwatch.com/catalog/item/6784664/7909371.htm Thanks for the feedback Carpe Diem Cats Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnCocktosten Posted November 26, 2010 Report Share Posted November 26, 2010 I had one that I sold to redwatch when I found a good 7206. The Yuki bracelet is really nice and heavy and doesn't sound like an unfolding lawn chair when you move your wrist. I oiled it up with P4TGR's rock and roll lube and it was smooth as butter. I would easily buy another if I had the need. P.S. I paid $75 back in the day so not sure if it is a different bracelet now or if I just got taken to the woodshed.

Cats Posted November 26, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 26, 2010 Thanks i think i wlll pull the trigger for this one. Does it except gen springbars or does it need some drilling ?? Carpe Diem Cats Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnCocktosten Posted November 26, 2010 Report Share Posted November 26, 2010 Unfortunately, like all of Yuki's bracelets (that I know of), it does not accept gen 2mm bars. Of course, that may have changed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
highoeyazmuhudee Posted November 27, 2010 Report Share Posted November 27, 2010 (edited) the one in the picture looks like it needs drilling i can tell by the link that binds the end link to the bracelet. the one that accepts 2mil bars is a double barrel link. however in the picture it looks like theres a fat bar pushed through it. to tell you the truth this looks like an mbk bracelet. just ask yuki. what i want are some damn endlinks with out the bottoms punched out like on gen 580s, seems like punching them out is 1 extra step after theyre made, just quit before that and i'll buy plenty.

Cats Posted November 27, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 27, 2010 Thanks Highoeyazmuhudee, i've ordered a bracelet yesterday from Yuki. If it's a solid midlink MBW then i'm glad because that;s to one i like on my 1665 I will have to ask a member to drill the holes bigger si it can accept gen springbars.

FxrAndy Posted November 28, 2010 Report Share Posted November 28, 2010 Cats let me know if you want it drilling, i will do it mate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ylfig Posted November 28, 2010 Report Share Posted November 28, 2010 well they definitely do need to be drilled, i asked him a couple of days ago actually. "Thank you for interest and visit. Sorry the bracelet is fit on 1.8mm springbar. Our bracelet include springbar." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjmj Posted November 28, 2010 Report Share Posted November 28, 2010 I bought one 10 days ago and I am happy with the product. Its really heavy and as previously mentioned a bit of oiling will do it good. Mine accepted 2mm springbars however i have replaced my clasp with a gen clasp as the coronet on the Yuki is a giveaway, it looks fake. I paid USD70 10 days ago so for the USD55, I think its a bargain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dizzy Posted November 28, 2010 Report Share Posted November 28, 2010 solid mid links on the Yuki... I dont know why someone doesnt make a GOOD 93150? They would make a killing on it. Yuki needs one thats the same accuracy and quality as his rivet stretchy bracelet that freddy did a review on. Thats the one I would get because its fairly correct for a 1665. Same time period anyways... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dizzy Posted November 28, 2010 Report Share Posted November 28, 2010 I think the best bracelet is the WM9 or the Noobmariner.... just pull off the SEL's and convert it to a floppy endlink. The numbers wont be correct but personally I really dont worry about little things like that. The hollow link MBW 93150 links are good.. just swap on a gen clasp and you are good to go. You're still looking at $300 give or take to build that so you may as well spend $500 or so and get an all gen bracelet. At least you can sell it later and get your money back if you want Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dizzy Posted November 30, 2010 Report Share Posted November 30, 2010 I am curious about how you remove SEL on a wm9 bracelet and install new enlink ? .... a vice or two pairs of vice grips and pull the last link apart. Then replace the SEL with the appropriate link that will connect to the old style end link. Then you put it together loosely and make sure the pins are lined up then use a vice to carefully press everything back together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robaer Posted December 2, 2010 Report Share Posted December 2, 2010 This was interesting. Where do you source the last link to connect to the old style ends? Or is it possible to connect it directly to the noob/wm9 midlinks? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

civic4982 Posted August 12, 2013 Report Share Posted August 12, 2013 Old thread but still great. I'm gonna give the Yuki bracelet a try unless more recently there are better options. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1680 Posted August 12, 2013 Report Share Posted August 12, 2013 Do you want a 93150? Then I don't know one reason why you should buy that bracelet. Whats wrong? Solid mid-links, wrong diver's extension, wrong ref number on the clasp blande, wrong last link construction... It costs $68 (!), a Cartel/Mary 93150 with correct hollow mid-links, 93150 marked clasp, correct extention should cost about $50 if you contact them.

I suppose it's just that the cartel bracelet I have feels so light and the clasp feels cheapy. Maybe that's just how the hollow mid-links bracelets are supposed to feel as this is my first approach for this type of build. Perhaps I should find a local friend with a few different bracelets to check out or hunt down a gen. Thanks for the reply. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nanuq Posted August 16, 2013 Report Share Posted August 16, 2013 Yeah the first time you hold your new, expensive, vintage 9315 or 7836 gen bracelet, fresh from VRM or wherever, you're going to have this huge sick feeling in your stomach. Truth be told, by today's standards for quality and workmanship these should sell for about $9.95 at Wal-Mart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
