usmctowgnr Posted August 22, 2011 Report Posted August 22, 2011 So I got an F date code mbw 16610 case. I have a gen insert, crown/tube, and crystal for it. I found a gen 16610 nos luminova dial that I am gonna get and will be using an eta 2836. My question is..... where can I get a bracelet for the build? I keep reading about "hybrids" built from several different bracelets. Can someone enlighten me or shoot me a message if they have one.... oh I am also in need of a set of super lumed hands. Joe
alligoat Posted August 22, 2011 Report Posted August 22, 2011 Seems like I remember the hybrid starting with a set of TWB end links, the hollow mid linked noob bracelet center sections was then used, but I can't remember where the clasp and divers extension came from. Lume on Clark hands is pretty good. Otherwise, you have to get a set relumed by someone like pbdad or ziggy.
Eiderdaus Posted August 22, 2011 Report Posted August 22, 2011 I thought that the gen dial will Be too Small for a mbw Case?
woof* Posted August 23, 2011 Report Posted August 23, 2011 I think Dizzy made some of these bracelets ...anybody see him lately?
ubiquitous Posted August 23, 2011 Report Posted August 23, 2011 From my WM9 V1... -TW Best end links with reshaped center link. -Noobmariner links -WM9 clasp
ubiquitous Posted August 23, 2011 Report Posted August 23, 2011 The TW Best end links were 3 piece. I had to split them apart to reshape the profile of the center link. I used the TW Best SELs as they fit the tightest to the WM9 case. The WM9 SELs were a decent fit, but not great, per se. Those were 3 piece as well:
its_urabus Posted August 23, 2011 Report Posted August 23, 2011 thats awesome, amazing work as usual...
ubiquitous Posted August 23, 2011 Report Posted August 23, 2011 Why thank ya, kind sir Been a long time since I've thought about the old WM9... Or any sapphire Sub for that matter. That was a fun watch
its_urabus Posted August 23, 2011 Report Posted August 23, 2011 well when you have the craziest gw 1665 ever on the front burner, why would you bother with a 16610. to the OP, keep an eye out in the for sale section, I'm pretty sure there have been a few wm9 bracelets for sale recently
