bruisedknux Posted January 5, 2015 Report Share Posted January 5, 2015 Guys, I just wanted to share something that a few of you may or may not take advantage of, or even be interested in. I got my BP 116613 last week and sought out a better bracelet due to the fear of tarnish. I got in touch with Riyi, as I had sourced a wrapped TT bracelet from him for my mattjust a few months back. I was overwhelmed by the quality of that bracelet, so I asked him of he could source a wrapped bracelet for my BP 116613. He replied shortly with " I can source one but it may not fit your new watch, as the factories my not be compatible" I took the chance and ordered one from him anyway. I do know the gen is 18k, and this one is 14k but I wanted to have something more durable than what I had. Below is the result, as you can clearly see the wrapped link. The sel mid link looks the same as the pictured wrapped mid link, bearing metal, but I can live with that. Top mid link is the wrapped one from Riyi It may not may not work for the noob 116613, but it for my BP fine. Sent from my LG G3Title should read wrapped 116613 bracelet.

Ezio Posted January 5, 2015 Report Share Posted January 5, 2015 Great ! How Much did you pay for it might be good to include Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
automatico Posted January 5, 2015 Report Share Posted January 5, 2015 That thing should last 25 years because all the wear/stress is on steel rather than gold. It looks like there is almost as much gold on the link as a bracelet with hollow solid gold mid links. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bruisedknux Posted January 6, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2015 Ezio, I have done other business with him so I negotiated a good deal. He is very reasonable and can be reached on ebay. Seller Riyi002 Let him now what you are looking for with the rolex hallmarks included and he can quote you a price. I lso bought a tt wrapped jubilee and it was very substantial and gen looking with all of the correct stamps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bruisedknux Posted January 23, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2015 (edited) Gmg, I misquoted my first post. It is in fact 10k, but better than the low quality bracelets that typically come with the current TT subs Sent from my LG G3 Edited January 23, 2015 by bruisedknux Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
