themannier Posted April 3, 2017 Report Share Posted April 3, 2017 Hum, it depends...Some 16610 in 2003 had lug holes and SEL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jigelow Posted April 3, 2017 Report Share Posted April 3, 2017 I don't know why, but I've never liked the SEL. It really comes from personal preference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephane Posted April 4, 2017 Report Share Posted April 4, 2017 My beloved and now sold 16610. Not Swiss Made, but Swiss. Genuine. 580/501b as replacement. Enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

panerai153 Posted April 9, 2017 Report Share Posted April 9, 2017 I have a gen P serial 16610 from 2000. It has a SEL bracelet, which from my research was the first year that they used the 93250 as a replacement for the 93150. As Matt said, the correct end links were the 580, however I have seen some with the 501b so perhaps both are correct.I certainly can't fault the 93250 SEL bracelet, very tight and with the drilled lugholes, just as easy to remove as the old style end links.

Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk I think the 501b was the end links before the 93250. As such, I think the 501b was used as the "service" end link.

I didn't know they introduced the SEL 93250 that year. It makes sense : 580 followed by 501B then SEL...the turning point of the 16610. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UmpaHimself Posted April 11, 2017 Report Share Posted April 11, 2017 I like both. Depends on the look you want though. Nothing like that solid feel of an SEL IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Propofol Posted April 12, 2017 Report Share Posted April 12, 2017 Hum, it depends...Some 16610 in 2003 had lug holes and SEL Yup, and you better not try to fit those SELs 93250 on non hole cases hah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmb Posted April 13, 2017 Report Share Posted April 13, 2017 580, for sure. I really don't like the looks of SELs, too "artificial" if you know what I mean... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capre Posted April 14, 2017 Report Share Posted April 14, 2017 SEL or 501b would be correct for your dial. If you opt for 501b endlinks you need the 93150 with the strange midlink on the endpiece that looks like this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alligoat Posted April 19, 2017 Report Share Posted April 19, 2017 501Bs are correct for the 16610/93150. 16800 and 168000s came with 593 ends on the 93150 580s are for the 1680, 5513, 5512 and 1675- the subs all came with 93150s after 1976. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
