Revere Posted November 13, 2016 Report Share Posted November 13, 2016 I'm looking to get a 7206 bracelet for my 6538 build. It seems like his 7206 is as good as you can get before shelling out a few thousand for the gen. I know it doesn't take 2 mm springbars but I remember reading here (I believe it was our own Nanuq?) saying that you can just force those endlinks open to take the 2 mm spring bar.

dieselpower Posted November 14, 2016 Report Share Posted November 14, 2016 You may be waiting ages for him to re-stock. I had a Yuki bracelet but it was not as good as his photos would make you believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max72 Posted November 15, 2016 Report Share Posted November 15, 2016 I bought one last year and I was really disappointed with the quality, I mean, the gen ones weren't great quality either but the clasp stampings and the coronet on Yuki's were really crappy and the fact that the end links don't take the 2 mm spring bars is another drawback on the whole thingLuckily they are in high demand and I was able to resell it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
automatico Posted November 15, 2016 Report Share Posted November 15, 2016 I have owned a few genuine 7206 type bracelets over the years both USA made and swiss made as well as a couple aftmkt models and never was impressed with them except for their hair pulling ability. That being said, I would go for a folded oyster from Mary etc if it suits the watch model. On another note...I sent 6 vintage bracelets to Michael 'CK' Young in HK a few years ago for refurbishing and they came back in much better condition than when sent so if you run across a worn out genuine 7206 it would probably be worth the $$ to have it reworked. http://www.classicwatchrepair.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dieselpower Posted November 15, 2016 Report Share Posted November 15, 2016 Sound advice from automatico. For the record I've got a few folded link oysters from Mary and they are great, especially after you have worn them for a few years and they contour to your wrist.
