Mike on a bike Posted December 29, 2012 Report Share Posted December 29, 2012 Have a 1680 on the way in! Could someone tell me if a rivet bracelet would fit? Thought it would look nice will be putting on NATO or dealer Rolie canvas of course, just for change up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freddy333 Posted December 29, 2012 Report Share Posted December 29, 2012 Depending on time period, the 1680 could have been fitted with any of these - Folded link 7206 with 80 end links Folded link 9315 with 280 or 380 end links 93150 with 580 end links Not a fan of Natos.

alligoat Posted December 29, 2012 Report Share Posted December 29, 2012 I guess the riveted 6636 is a little too early for a 1680. But they were used on the early 5513s and 5512s. 1680s theoretically came out in 1967, but really started showing up around 1969- the early reds. Around 1974 the dial went to white.

Guest zeleni kukuruz Posted December 29, 2012 Report Share Posted December 29, 2012 I think the folded bracelet that the cartel sell is one of the best rep rolex bracelets out there!!! When you oild it good its very very comfy on the wrist i mtach it with the 580 endlinks from wso that takes fat gen springbars Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike on a bike Posted December 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 29, 2012 Ok think I found a 7206 that will work, anyone know for sure. I will have to buy two most likely as at 7in it will be to small for me. http://www.ebay.com/itm/20mm-RIVET-STAINLESS-STEEL-WATCH-BRACELET-FIT-VINTAGE-ROLEX-TUDOR-SUBMARINER-/121035955123?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item1c2e4e1bb3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest zeleni kukuruz Posted December 29, 2012 Report Share Posted December 29, 2012 Yeha that will work. Just find a better claps! I will dig in my watchbox tomorrow and see if i have a spare! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike on a bike Posted December 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 29, 2012 Thanks Bud I am waiting for them to get back to me on extra links or I have to buy two. But after I take out 2 links it will still fit most normal people! If I get two will send you extra one for clasp, should fit you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HartDoc Posted December 29, 2012 Report Share Posted December 29, 2012 (edited) which gen bracelet was a POS. was it the 7206 or the 7836. I think it was the 7206 but just not sure. Edited December 29, 2012 by HartDoc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike on a bike Posted December 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 29, 2012 Doc I think it was the 7206 ,but it looks great so I will take a chance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will have to buy two most likely as at 7in it will be to small for me. 98.2% rating with only 200-some previous sales & located in Hong Kong is a recipe for potential disaster. Were it me, I would not pay more than the price of a Yuki for that 1 or look elsewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike on a bike Posted December 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2012 Well sent inquiry into Yuki although they are not for sale in any area of his site he has pics from customers with them on similar watches. I am hopeful he still has them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gavidoc Posted December 30, 2012 Report Share Posted December 30, 2012 Another option that us 1680's were offered was the us C&I rivet. Similar to the 7206. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike on a bike Posted December 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2012 Doc C&I rivet ? By the way guys Yuki discontinued 7206s .just got a reply. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alligoat Posted December 30, 2012 Report Share Posted December 30, 2012 The C&I rivet was made in the USA by Rolex in the 60s and 70s to avoid the import tax- comparable to the 7206 - same flimsy quality. There's also the Mexican bracelets made for Joskes around the same time- still Rolex. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_rymeister Posted December 30, 2012 Report Share Posted December 30, 2012 Those ndt rivet bracelets look good, hopefully someone will chime in with better advice on these thanks for posting mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike on a bike Posted December 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2012 Rymeister need the 20mm but with the 80 end-links right so confused on the ndt product and expensive. I figure it this way who would make that odd bracelet for them can't sell a lot, the guys over in China ! It may be the same quality as the cheaper priced ones.

HartDoc Posted December 30, 2012 Report Share Posted December 30, 2012 (edited) Doc C&I rivet ? By the way guys Yuki discontinued 7206s .just got a reply. If this is directed to me. I'll go for the 9315. If fact I'm looking for a gen one myself. The ones I found are either stretched to the moon and back or I have to rob fort knox. I just cant see myself paying $1000 for a very used bracelet. But if you can find a really good rep 9315 and put it on gen 580 endlinks for the SEL then get a nice gen clasp. I'll say thats the way to go. Edited December 30, 2012 by HartDoc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephane Posted December 30, 2012 Report Share Posted December 30, 2012 I owned a gen 1680 with 9315...had to sell it for cash Currently redoing a "franken" 1680 and I would NEVER put a 1.000$ in a bracelet. I think the most reasonable and accurate would be a 93150 with 580 or even 501b. I don't see the point going totally off budget to get a folded unless you buy the entire 1680 gen which would cost you 5.000 max (if white of course). Just my 2 cents. But after spending a fortune in reps to make them as accurate as possible I am now looking at wearing watches I like to wear! If they are not 100% accurate, I don't care. Besides that who the fuck is going to look at your watch till the last detail except a ....RWG fellow member We should all stop to be insane and feed the sellers of the market with high price expectations. Once they will discover nobody is buying at 1.000$ they will come down to 750, then 500, then...and so on. We are the ones pushing the prices so high! Genuine buyers do not look for parts: they buy the full watch with the bracelet, hands, dial, case...papers...and don't care if it's a 93150, a 9315 and son on. Some photos from the gen and the bracelet...and the incredible date wheel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cjjoyce1 Posted December 30, 2012 Report Share Posted December 30, 2012 Doc C&I rivet ? By the way guys Yuki discontinued 7206s .just got a reply. My C&I from 1977 Note the holes in the rivet ends. Generally 30% cheaper than gen 7206's in similar condition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
