New end mid links for a 7836

Recommended Posts

Tonight I decided I couldn't tolerate the bogus "figure eight" end midlink any more. It's the only wart on Mary's otherwise-perfect 7836 folded band. Here's the offending piece (women and men of weak disposition look away!)

I had a bit of trouble along the way...

But in the end it was Man +1 and Steel -0. What do you think? Mo' beddah?

Now, you might ask where I got that lovely sacrificial midlink to cobble in there? Look no further than Yuki's folded riveted Oyster. That little piece right there.

I know this post is quite old, but I recently ordered one of Mary's bracelets for my 7032 and don't use it because I cannot tolerate the last midlink. I wear the homeplate on a solid link bracelet now which many gen owners do to prevent the precious 7836 from wear. It also gives the watch more substance IMHO.

 

But nevertheless I would like to try that out.

Any tips how to easily remove the bogus figure 8 midlink? Looks troublesome at first glance.

Many after market/replica oyster style bracelets have suitable hollow round top end links so maybe you can find one.  That is what I did.

 

You can remove the figure 8 links by spreading them apart carefully so they will come off the bracelet.

Carefully? Forget that, this is a one way trip baby. Get those suckers OFF there, they ain't going back on again.
