If the XV bracelet fits the XVI? Yes.....final result........

Not without a little modding.

It is a tiny bit to thick on the very end of the lugs. Nothing a litle sanding would take of.

Here are some pics:

From a distance on the wrist.

I will start modding it tomorrow and will show the result here.

See DG2 i think ref the email you may need to do it again soon, looking forward to seeing how it looks after a bit of modding

Interesting, thanks! I wonder why the dealers does not offer this with bracelet.. A bit steep to buy the 258 USD Mark XV rep, just for the bracelet. Might recover some by selling the watch, but anyway..

Josh sold me just the bracelet for 75 USD.

Can't wait to see the final result mate

Let me start be saying Bravo. Many have asked the question regarding the bracelet on the Mark XVI, but few have actually attempted this mod. Could you help the community out by telling us your method? How did you get the end links to line up flush with the lugs? Did you sand them down? Re-drill the spring bar holes so they would align better? I think your MO would help a few of us contemplating this mod. Thanks and great job.

Cheers

Hi Mackey,

Just a little sanding on the top of the end links did the trick. An Iron file, some sanding paper and a scotch pad is all you need for the mod.

Great looking watch, made even better on steel.

That's some good work! I wrote this off as a complete no go until I saw this thread. Thanks for the update!
