Beachcomber Posted January 10, 2015 Report Share Posted January 10, 2015 I've been looking all over, Yuki, Phong and for the life of me I simply cannot find one. Are there any dealers that sell them? I bought that nice 5513 underline gilt from monacol and think that it would look fabulous on a nice 9315. Any suggestions?

jackflash Posted January 10, 2015 Report Share Posted January 10, 2015 Haven't seen any either. Not ideal, but you may need to go hybrid. i.e. the Yuki 7836 bracelet with a 9315 or 93150 clasp. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beachcomber Posted January 10, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2015 I never thought of that thank you. Do you know how the quality is with the 7836? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackflash Posted January 10, 2015 Report Share Posted January 10, 2015 Can't comment on the quality. Maybe someone who has one, and has had a gen in their hands, can offer a comparison. Unfortunately it looks like the options for a rep 9315 are fairly limited. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beachcomber Posted January 10, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2015 Thanks, I've contacted Yuki to see if he could possibly put one together for me, I don't think he will though but it's worth asking. If all else fails I may just get one of his rivet bracelets that he said will be back in stock at the end of the month.

Champagnesky Posted January 10, 2015 Report Share Posted January 10, 2015 That nice watch deserves a good bracelet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beachcomber Posted January 10, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2015 I know but a gen 9315 is ridiculously expensive. For the time being I've got a nice a Horween strap until I can find a proper bracelet. Thanks for the complement.

ThePunisherXIX Posted January 10, 2015 Report Share Posted January 10, 2015 I think the Yuki rivets it the correct one for yours. Or you can buy a Josh 7836 (good quality links) and install a WSO 580 end link and a SUB CLASP (TC, CARTEL 93250 it's good also) For the Yuki one's i have bought a couple (one on my Tudor MC and one on my 1675 and it is exactly like the gen one that i have sold after buy this two) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nanuq Posted January 10, 2015 Report Share Posted January 10, 2015 I have Mary's 7836 on my Snowflake and its quality is spectacular. It's right up there with all my 9315s. Changing the clasp is necessary, but there's a big tell, the end piece that connects the band to the end link is figure-8 shaped, not flat as it should be.

nick1972 Posted January 10, 2015 Report Share Posted January 10, 2015 Mmhhhh, I think I saw gen 7836 bracelets with the 8 shaped end link on old GMT's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nanuq Posted January 10, 2015 Report Share Posted January 10, 2015 True... but never on a 9315. That's the problem.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beachcomber Posted January 10, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2015 I think the Yuki rivets it the correct one I know the rivet is the one I should have but for some reason I have always likes the folded link bracelets more. I have had both rivet and folded links in the past, granted the rivets were C & I and to me they were way too fragile and the rivets would snag on sweaters and any other long sleeve jumper I was wearing.

I may have a look at Mary's, you mean MBW, right? And change the clasp out. I think this may be a good option.

J.S. Posted January 11, 2015 Report Share Posted January 11, 2015 http://robertmaron.com/product.php?productid=18658&cat=265&page=4&sold 7836 bracelet on a 5513 and he claims it's original Production of riveted bracelets stopped in 1969 then came folded bracelets. Subs sold after that year were with the 7836 non riveted, non fliplock bracelet BUT still some 5513 Submariner watches in 1971 were originally sold with the 7206 or 7836 bracelet. Same time but not long after in the USA 7836 riveted bracelet was a replacement option for the 9315. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beachcomber Posted January 11, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2015 Submariners were sold with different bracelets as an option including a Jubilee option , Rolex did do special orders but the 7836 was never a replacement for the 9315, the 9315 was replaced with the 93150. The C & I never had a 7836 designation, I think you are confusing it with the 7206 which was only used on the Swiss rivet, never the C & I. Also, riveted bracelets were produced well into the 70s using the USA C & I. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk I was under the impression that 7836 was replacement for 9315 if you didn't want 9315 first place and wanted something else, like 7836. That I know that C & I never had a 7836 designation. Thanks for clearing that hazy info up ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beachcomber Posted January 11, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2015 Rolex is and always has been very clandestine when it comes to their parts, there are so many strange things out there that just when you think you've got it all sorted Rolex throws a wrench in the works.A 7836 may have been a substitute special order at some point just like the Jubilee but as the norm no. Same thing happens when it comes to dials, you can see the same year and very close serial number range using dials from earlier periods. Rolex enthusiasts have been trying to sort this out for ages.Rolex is pretty easy to figure out but there are anomalies, now if you're into vintage Tudor you're really screwed, with them they could've very well used just about anything that was in stock at the time. There have been many many discussions and debates about both Rolex and Tudor over this subject. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
