dutchguy2 Posted June 8, 2012 Report Share Posted June 8, 2012 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrgod Posted June 8, 2012 Report Share Posted June 8, 2012 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.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mackey1981 Posted June 14, 2012 Report Share Posted June 14, 2012 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dutchguy2 Posted June 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2012 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
