mil04 Posted May 9, 2013 Report Share Posted May 9, 2013 Hi guys, I just saw the new 7836 bracelet on Yuki website: http://www.yukiwatch.com/catalog/item/6784664/8082246.htm What are you thoughts on it? Or should I just go with Mary? Also, is this Tudor clasp from Raffles any good? http://www.rafflestime.com/servlet/the-960/Clasp-for-Tudor-Prince/Detail Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nanuq Posted May 9, 2013 Report Share Posted May 9, 2013 That's very nice! It fixes the glaring flaw from the original release... the screwy "figure eight" midlink where the endlink attaches. Get one and let us know what you think! If it's really like the pictures, then I'll need two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dieselpower Posted May 9, 2013 Report Share Posted May 9, 2013 Also note it has correct 7 adjustment holes in the clasp as opposed to the usual (wrong) 6. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lhooq Posted May 9, 2013 Report Share Posted May 9, 2013 Is it really new, or is the same shitty and overpriced 7836 that I reviewed last year? You decide! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nanuq Posted May 9, 2013 Report Share Posted May 9, 2013 Lhooq nailed it. I don't see a difference from the last time. Rats.Nice catch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mil04 Posted May 9, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2013 Ok then is Mary is the best choice then? Good eyes everyone !!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robaer Posted May 9, 2013 Report Share Posted May 9, 2013 Yes, it's the best, but only because there are no alternatives. It's nice for the price but it's very easy to spot its flaws. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
panerai153 Posted May 10, 2013 Report Share Posted May 10, 2013 Where do these factories come up with some of their numbers? my phong 7206 which is really a 6636. , because it's expansion has these 382 endlinks? I looked them up, 382's were used on Tudors, not Rolex. now here they are on a 7836. how hard would it have been to stamp them 380, or 580,etc. Just make them believable!!

Nanuq Posted May 10, 2013 Report Share Posted May 10, 2013 At least they're not stamped "3.14159" eh? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
denimhead Posted May 10, 2013 Report Share Posted May 10, 2013 Thoughts on Josh's 7836? Got to be the best option in terms of price? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest zeleni kukuruz Posted May 10, 2013 Report Share Posted May 10, 2013 Thoughts on Josh's 7836? Got to be the best option in terms of price? Correct Sir Josh/andrew/mary all of them are the same. And they are great! Althoug i got a very very nice folded beacelet with the 7032 that i got from HikeUsa this week, and this one is the yuki one, and its also great, feels little bit more solid then the cartel ones!

1680 Posted May 10, 2013 Report Share Posted May 10, 2013 I wouldn't say the Yuki 7836 is bad, in terms of design I would prefer this one. BUT it is simply overpriced! $200 for a rep bracelet ??? Nah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is the difference between a 6636 and a 7206 (or between a 6635 and 7205) the expanding springs? I've seen a couple of sources that say this, but have never been able to reconcile that with the existence of genuine, expanding 7205s and 7206s. I wouldn't say the Yuki 7836 is bad, in terms of design I would prefer this one. BUT it is simply overpriced! $200 for a rep bracelet ??? Nah The poor fit of its endlinks, which cannot be changed without extensive effort, make it a no-go for me--regardless of cost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's true, however I think that is fixable with a bit (or a lot) of work and some stainless steel. But there is no rep bracelet that has the correct link that connects the bracelet to the springbar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mil04 Posted May 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2013 I was looking for my snowflake and I think will go for Mary 7836 and the clasp from Raffles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freddy333 Posted May 10, 2013 Report Share Posted May 10, 2013 7206s were available as expansion & non (I have an expanding gen 7206 on my 6536/1). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
