japanic Posted October 22, 2011 Report Share Posted October 22, 2011 I have planning a 1680 or a 5513 build for some time now and I'd like to know when did Rolex switch clasps from the standard to the flip-lock? Also would a non-folded link bracelet be appropriate for this build? I'd like to get a time frame of what was implemented when. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alligoat Posted October 22, 2011 Report Share Posted October 22, 2011 The first fliplock bracelet- the 9315 came out in the early 70s. The 93150 came out in 1976- clasp code VA. Prior to the 70s, a 7206 would be a correct option or a jubilee possibly. 5513s ran from the early 60s til around 1989- SN Lxxx,xxx. 1680s ran from around 1969 til 1980. But lots of earlier watches have been fitted with later bracelets, typically the 93150 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freddy333 Posted October 22, 2011 Report Share Posted October 22, 2011 I could be wrong, but I think Rolex began fitting 9315s to Subs around the time 'Sgt. Pepper' came out (1967). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plymman Posted October 22, 2011 Report Share Posted October 22, 2011 Not sure it's correct but IMO a rivet bracelet will look fantastic on a 5513 build. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
