5513 Aftermarket Bracelet

[ironman18]

Anyone here experienced hands on the raffles submariner hollow curve end bracelet? How is the quality? Any suggestions on where to buy quality 5513 bracelet replacement?

It would help if you could post a link to the raffles-time bracelet.

Correct bracelets for the 5513 are:

early- 7206

middle- 9315 w/ 280 or 380 ends

late- 93150 w/ 580 ends

Here's Yuki's 7206-

This 93250 bracelet isn't technically correct, but it's cheaper and probably will work

PT and Andrew may also sell Submariner bracelets- might check them out also

The 93150 that comes with Josh's 5513 is ok.

The one that I purchased from Josh had a little flat connecting link that connects the bracelet to the endlink. It really looks cheap. Most of the 5513s on eBay appear to have a curved connecting link like the others only shorter. That looks better.

And this is the bracelet from raffles

What do you guys think?

these pictures reveal almost nothing

but from what i can see: the clasp is wrong, the half adjustment holes are not correct for a 93150

the description makes no mention of it being a hollow link, so there is a chance it could be a solid link bracelet which would be incorrect

endlinks look like they would be notched out for the spring bars

and the spring bars are not 2mm sized which means the gen bars probably dont fit

also willing to bet the endlink connecting link isnt ribbed like the gen either.

for the price i say pass
