Nanuq Posted June 27, 2011 Report Share Posted June 27, 2011 Can anyone comment on the PT riveted bracelet he offers with his 6542, as compared to Yuki's 7206? Are those hollow rivet heads I'm seeing on PT's offering? (Donerix photo) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redwatch Posted June 27, 2011 Report Share Posted June 27, 2011 Not sure if it's the same bracelet, but I just saw the one that asimplefarmer is selling and the bracelet is pretty damn awesome! Hollow rivet, folded link bracelet. The mid-links are quite nice and thick too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nanuq Posted June 27, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2011 I wonder if it's a little longer than Yuki's? I can't quite make his 7206 fit. Any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freddy333 Posted June 27, 2011 Report Share Posted June 27, 2011 Can anyone comment on the PT riveted bracelet he offers with his 6542, as compared to Yuki's 7206? Based on this pic, it looks to be the same POS with too short/too thick links that has been around for ages. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JEKS Posted June 27, 2011 Report Share Posted June 27, 2011 Freddy, do you mean that Yuki's is the original piece of [censored] or that the PT bracelet has been around for ages and is the POS? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nanuq Posted June 27, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2011 I think he's referring to another one. There's a folded oyster riveted bracelet whose links are far too thick, and a little shorter than gen. It's obvious from 10' away that it's aftermarket. Yuki's 7206 looks very very good, nice thin links, but it's about 1/4" too short for me and the connection from the final link to the endlink is spotty. From Donerix's photo I was hoping the PT piece is more accurate than even the Yuki, and (hopefully) slightly longer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asf Posted June 27, 2011 Report Share Posted June 27, 2011 In the 6542 I sold the folded riveted bracelet had dimpled rivets and the metal fold is tough to bend open vs a folded link bracelet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nanuq Posted June 27, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2011 Do you have photos? Where is the sales thread? What was the source? Is it this one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was referring to the bracelet in that pic (which looks similar to the bracelet in Nanuq's post above this 1). Here is a review on Yuki's 7206.

JEKS Posted June 29, 2011 Report Share Posted June 29, 2011 Ah, thank you. I was sweating the answer. I've a 1665 project in PBDad's capable hands undergoing accelerated aging. It is using the Yuki bracelet in question. thx - J Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dutchguy2 Posted July 3, 2011 Report Share Posted July 3, 2011 I just bought a 7205 rivet bracelet with 60 endlinks. Does anybody know if this will fit my DW 6263? What would have bin a good price to pay for it? It looks like it has a bit of stretch and only 11 links. It was quite an inpulsive buy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nanuq Posted July 3, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 3, 2011 The 7205 fits 19mm lugs so it will fit the 6263. Whether the 60 endpieces fit the lug profile remains to be seen, but they should be darn close. Nice catch! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dutchguy2 Posted July 3, 2011 Report Share Posted July 3, 2011 Thank you Nanuq. Hope I did not pay to much at 112 Euro! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dizzy Posted July 5, 2011 Report Share Posted July 5, 2011 I just bought a 7205 rivet bracelet with 60 endlinks. Does anybody know if this will fit my DW 6263? What would have bin a good price to pay for it? It looks like it has a bit of stretch and only 11 links. It was quite an inpulsive buy Yes it will fit. I had one on my 6263. It has now been replaced with a newer style 19mm folded link bracelet. This 19mm rivet may be for sale if anyone needs a nice gen bracelet for their vintage Daytona. Mine is the stretchy one with the springs and its nice and smooth and tight with no binding. Heres a pic below when it was attached to my DW 6263...

dutchguy2 Posted July 5, 2011 Report Share Posted July 5, 2011 The one I just bought has an other clasp. The coronet is 1/3 from the edge of the clasp! Is this correct? Where there two versions of the clasp? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
