fidhle007 Posted March 4, 2012 Report Posted March 4, 2012 I'm thinking about an early 16610 project, does anyone make a decent 93150 rep bracelet?
fidhle007 Posted March 4, 2012 Author Report Posted March 4, 2012 Of course the more research I'm doing the more it looks like an SEL bracelet could be correct for my project anyway...
irolexu Posted March 4, 2012 Report Posted March 4, 2012 Well if you have a holes case then SEL will not be accurate
DeeKa Posted March 4, 2012 Report Posted March 4, 2012 Well if you have a holes case then SEL will not be accurate Well... The 16600 with holes had SEL. So a possible way to go and definitely nicer to wear! Dee
woof* Posted March 4, 2012 Report Posted March 4, 2012 I'd rather not have sel, lugholes and open endllinks rock. Some say Yuki's bracelet is nice. The cartel with a gen clasp works too.
fidhle007 Posted March 4, 2012 Author Report Posted March 4, 2012 Well if you have a holes case then SEL will not be accurate I've seen it in the gen world but it's rare. You have to have the perfect combo of early 2000s stuff or find a watch that's had it's bracelet upgraded. I'd rather not have sel, lugholes and open endllinks rock. Some say Yuki's bracelet is nice. The cartel with a gen clasp works too. Any details on where I can find these options?
w.genzo Posted March 5, 2012 Report Posted March 5, 2012 (edited) Well for a 16610 the combination would be quite simple, modern luminova dial&insert, lugholes and SEL bracelet. Exactly the same combo of a modern sub but with lugholes. I.e a P serial. Edited March 5, 2012 by w.genzo
fidhle007 Posted March 5, 2012 Author Report Posted March 5, 2012 Did was there any crossover between the 580 endlinks and the "Swiss Made" dials? Early P serial maybe? A serial?
fidhle007 Posted March 5, 2012 Author Report Posted March 5, 2012 OK, I think I've got it now! It looks like lug holes existed as late as Y-Serial and SELs appeared as early as early as A-Serial but I've seen 580s on A-Serial watches too, which definitely had "Swiss Made" dials.
woof* Posted March 5, 2012 Report Posted March 5, 2012 This is Yuki's fliplock http://www.yukiwatch.com/catalog/item/6784664/7909371.htm
highoeyazmuhudee Posted March 5, 2012 Report Posted March 5, 2012 there are no decent 93150s that yuki one is severely flawed subs from 2005 had both lug holes and sel bracelets on the same watch
alligoat Posted March 5, 2012 Report Posted March 5, 2012 Early 16610 subs had the 93150 bracelet with 501 B end links. This would be the R serial from 1987-8 thru the A serial- 1998 or so. Then there was the period with SELs and the case still had lugholes- til 2004 or so. The 16610 T case w/o lugholes came out at that time. Finding a 93150 can still be done- the early PT SDs had a decent 93150, but the crown on the clasp was a little lacking. 501 B ends have not been repped AFAIK. People swap in gen clasps fairly regularly- this helps with the bad crown emblem on the clasp. VRM would be the place to find 501B ends, or fleabay. Patience is the key
