Champagnesky Posted November 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 20, 2014 Rolexcool, do you have a link to their website? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomhorn Posted November 20, 2014 Report Share Posted November 20, 2014 Unfortunately, there are no great rep 93150's. The best of the rep 93150's are the old hollow link MBW's. They are hard to find but come up in M2M sales from time-to-time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
panerai153 Posted November 22, 2014 Report Share Posted November 22, 2014 Like Tom said, unfortunately no good ones. Genuine used have gotten ridiculously expensive. 700-900 USD for one, and it will probably have some wear and stretch. Some of the supply houses sell unmarked bracelets, with them, you can use the links, gen endlinks and clap and end up with a nice bracelet, but it's still going to cost several hundred bucks. Unfortunately, the day of the 400 dollar gen bracelet has gone the way of the Carrier Pigeon!! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nick1972 Posted November 22, 2014 Report Share Posted November 22, 2014 Someone should rep them again, TC? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
highoeyazmuhudee Posted November 24, 2014 Report Share Posted November 24, 2014 the bracelet is one part where only the gen 93150 cuts it there are supposedly 9315 hong kong reps that are very accurate they are often sold as gen. i have no link or information beyond that.

automatico Posted November 24, 2014 Report Share Posted November 24, 2014 I bought 2 new MBK 1680 a couple years ago and one had a real good '93150' with hollow mid links etc and the other one had the same clasp and hoods but with solid mid links. If I could find some good 'connecting links' that go between the bracelet and the case, I would try to put a hollow link bracelet together using bracelet links from a 'noobmariner' with the sel and half link removed and use regular type 'last links' on each end and the MBK '93150' clasp. It is fairly easy to take the bracelets apart at the big ends. I noticed some of the 'noobmariner' bracelets have bushings over the bracelet screws like genuine and some do not, it's better to have them if possible as it tightens them up and slows down wear. I have looked at a lot of bracelets and it seems (to me) that the 'noobmariner' bracelets are some of the best. I saw where ST had hollow mid link replacement links for sale again so I got a few but the slot in the screw head is very narrow. I will try their replacement screws for genuine links with wider slots and see if they will work. It sure would be nice if TC could get some 93150 bracelets made. Maybe we could take a count and see how many we can buy to make a minimum order, say at $55 or $60 each I would take 10 if a deal could be made. As with all special orders, 'Backouts' will be shot.

athan Posted November 25, 2014 Report Share Posted November 25, 2014 (edited) I have a great old MBK 93150 with gen links and clasp on my MBK / The Zigmeister 1665 GW. 3 is not correct and links are thinner than the gen ones, one of the best rep options ever. Very rare species these days. I would take a couple if TC could get some made. Edited November 25, 2014 by athan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

highoeyazmuhudee Posted November 25, 2014 Report Share Posted November 25, 2014 mbk bracelet is all wrong. there are two different ones too. 1 comes with all subs and the other comes with the 1665. they both say 93150 on them but the 1665 one is the better one. the 1665 is the right thickness of links and not polished on the sides. the mbk end connecting link is incorrect, and the taper on the bracelet is too drastic. the 1/2 size adjustment holes on the clasp side are also in the wrong layout, they are arranged for a 93250. i believe the diving extension is also stamped backwards compared with gen. the mbk bracelet is not suitable. TC would have to make one from scratch in my opinion to get it right, but if he did i would be in to buy one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

automatico Posted November 26, 2014 Report Share Posted November 26, 2014 I went back and looked at my two MBK '93150' bracelets (never looked them over closely) and HH is right. On top of everything else, both of mine have half links like later models. Not very close after all, probably made out of '93250' bracelets.

pam007 Posted November 26, 2014 Report Share Posted November 26, 2014 what's a half link? I have a gen but not an MBK. Can you educate me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomhorn Posted November 26, 2014 Report Share Posted November 26, 2014 (edited) Here is the pic of mine from the sales thread. HH is definitely right. The gen 93150 has evenly spaced adjustment holes, the MBW does not. It does show the diver's extension engraving, but I don't know if it's correct. Unfortunately, despite the flaws, it's still the best option ... Edited November 26, 2014 by tomhorn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Champagnesky Posted November 26, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 26, 2014 Has anyone seen the cartel 93150? Any thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
highoeyazmuhudee Posted November 27, 2014 Report Share Posted November 27, 2014 Has anyone seen the cartel 93150? Any thoughts? the 93150 engraving is too large. end link connector is also folded over at the bottom to close it where as the gen is one piece closed. diving extension is wrong, clasp crown is also too large. as stated, gen is the only way to go with regards to the bracelet. unless TC does make a small run Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Champagnesky Posted November 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2014 Who will get in touch with TC? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6now Posted November 30, 2014 Report Share Posted November 30, 2014 A 93150 bracelet in the same quality as a TC 93250 is very long overdue. I will take some too if done. That's why franken 5513/5512s gotta have the gen counterparts in order to be great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
