Ephry73 Posted May 23, 2012 Report Share Posted May 23, 2012 As I sit in my office looking at this MC and the bracelet strapped to it, I wonder, why don't, or didn't the factories make the same copy of the 7836 with the 9315 stamping and correct clasp? I had this bracelet on the 5514 modified with a sub clasp and it worked, but wasn't right. I like this 7836 on the Tudor. So, does anyone know if there was ever a 9315 from china?

alligoat Posted May 23, 2012 Report Share Posted May 23, 2012 Yes, we're pretty sure there are 9315s from China, but the rate of distribution has been very slow and they're typically sold as gen in the $400 range. I know I'd love to see them repped and in the $75-100 range! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may have to get one the Trusty units to refurb a 9315 and see how that goes. E Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alligoat Posted May 23, 2012 Report Share Posted May 23, 2012 If you could pick up the 9315 clasp and it would fit on the 7836, you'd have it made. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ephry73 Posted May 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2012 That's the goal. E Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ephry73 Posted May 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2012 Does anyone have a damaged Asian 7836 they're willing to sell? I may be able to use the center links to put together the Gen 9315 E Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nanuq Posted May 25, 2012 Report Share Posted May 25, 2012 E, get the $50 special from Mary. It's a heck of a good piece out of the box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ephry73 Posted May 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2012 Will give that a try. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nanuq Posted May 25, 2012 Report Share Posted May 25, 2012 Mine was tight out of the box, and I had to cobble in a link from a 7206 to make it fit. I just unfolded the middle link blade and slipped it in there and refolded it. It's right next to the clasp and you can barely see the rivet heads even if you're looking for them. Of course I have wrists like Popeye so you might not have trouble. And... the 9315 clasp is longer than a 7836 clasp so that might give you enough wiggle room.

Dizzy Posted May 28, 2012 Report Share Posted May 28, 2012 Ive built many of these franken 9315's. Mary folded bracelet with gen 9315 or 93150 clasp. Easy to do and looks awesome. Much more comfy to wear than a 93150. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ephry73 Posted May 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2012 I think yours was inspiration for the 7836 hybrid I made. @Nanuq, What's the best way to order one from Mary? Trusty's? E Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
