Explorer 1016 bracelet advice needed

[Triplock]

Greetings! Yuki offers two 7836 bracelets and I would appreciate it if those in the know could give me some advice.

This one is $197 and has 382 end links and says it's the high quality new production version.

This one is $72 and has 458 endlinks and looks pretty much the same to my untrained eye.

I'd appreciate any comments and advice from the 1016 gurus

One is solid and one is folded, but I'm confused about the endlinks and whether they'll fit properly.

For my 1016, I just used Mary's 7836 with WSO 580 endlinks. My case is a gen 16014 and everything fit perfectly. A folded bracelet is period correct for the 1016.

Folded link or rivet bracelet for a 1016 all the way. Picked up a nice 7206 with 80 ends from NDT for about the same price as Yuki's and quality is pretty fantastic. The 80 ELs it came with fit a gen 16200 case quite well too...

Thanks for the comments. Yuki's folded link bracelet uses smaller springbars. I looked around for a riveted version and came up empty handed. 

That's a beauty tomhorn!

Yuki 7836 whit 382 unfortunatelly not fit the 1016 slim case (jmb or gen dj case as base) is good only for tudor MC and Sub to my experience but not fit 2mm bars.

I reccomended you the 7836 from mary for 60$ whit wso 580 end link from bay for 2mm bars as tomhorns sayd ;-)

For a start, doesn't a 1016 need a 19mm bracelet?

Nope!

As said above, the lugs are 20mm. You are thinking of the 34mm Rollie cases that have 19mm lugs.

Make sure you get the WSO 580's that take the fat spring bars, and use gen, or the "Aussie" aftermarket spring bars (eBay seller twente(o), AKA Fasci).

Depending on what case you use, you may have to drill out the lugs.

Thank you tomhorn and others. I appreciate your advice and information!

Yes, ideal parts list is Gen clasp+Mary links+WSO endlinks. On the endlinks I mod them for a flawless fit. They are too long and the 580 is ugly and is better sanded off. Also, sanding the 580 brings you to a similar thickness with the Gen as the reps are made of a much thicker metal sheet.
