Guest BimmerLover Posted December 17, 2017 Report Share Posted December 17, 2017 Hello Guys, Lately on M2M i see some 7206 replica bracelet whit improved coronet on clasp. (Stolen pics from m2m sale, hope to do not disturb the seller here) I looked and search everywhere for one like that but i not found anything. Anyone know where i could get an improved one? Thank you in advanche for help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capre Posted December 17, 2017 Report Share Posted December 17, 2017 Yuki should have them in stock. Or you could cut out the middlehand and get them straight from the source in vietnam. Either way even the improved one needs to be rebrushed to appear more genlike. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BimmerLover Posted December 17, 2017 Report Share Posted December 17, 2017 Thank you for your reply. You know a direct source from Vietnam?

Yllekp Posted December 23, 2017 Report Share Posted December 23, 2017 (edited) The 7206 is one of my passions. For best results buy the Yuki. You need to thin it down a tad as it is thicker than the gen. The ends are ugy and sharp but easily reshaped to follow the lugs. You might also want to lightly sand down the tips to fit after following the contours of the lugs. But for the best Coronet go gen. You will pick up one for around €150-€200 or the entire clasp for $350-$450. That solves the coronet problem which is just off on the Yuki although I read somewhere that they had improved but i have not seen a new one. And do not forget to flatten the spiky rivets.

jackflash Posted December 23, 2017 Report Share Posted December 23, 2017 It is possible to re-shape the dodgy Yuki coronet with a fine diamond file, which is what I did. I also ended up using MQ endlinks, which took a bit of surgery to fit. However, they are a better shape than what I received from Yuki. They were so flat they looked as though they‘d been stepped on.

Nice work as usual Jack. Yep the Yuki ends are like razor blades. They are workable on but take a lot of patience and fear that you will completely destroy them. From what I can see your MQ ends attach to the bracelet better than the Yuki ends. There is just not enough metal on the tab especially when you widen it to take the 2mm Fat bars. . I have mine pushed out to the last. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capre Posted December 23, 2017 Report Share Posted December 23, 2017 Yuki endlinks mated to the case and rebrushed. Still have to flatten the pointy rivets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackflash Posted December 23, 2017 Report Share Posted December 23, 2017 Looking good! The endlinks are certainly better than what I received from Yuki. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capre Posted December 23, 2017 Report Share Posted December 23, 2017 They still are crap. After i ruined one bracelet i bought this one from @hologramet who had modified it to fit one of his midcases. With a few smaller modifications it fits my midcase like it was ment to be.

So you used mine almost straight off? Sweet.. yeah.. the whole thing is mehh.. But some grinding, buffing and polishing (as Mythbusters confirmed) you can have a sparkling turd. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But some grinding, buffing and polishing (as Mythbusters confirmed) you can have a sparkling turd.I actually only had to bend one endlink just a tad and shave off 0.2mm on the other. Ive worn it well since i got it and it is only getting better the more wear and tare it gets. In my oppinion its more than a sparkling turd. But it does need alot time and modifications to get it just right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

w0rn Posted December 24, 2017 Report Share Posted December 24, 2017 (edited) Here is a couple of pictures of a reworked yuki rivet bracelet Mounted on the bracelet is a gen clasp cover and the yuki cover is the one beside it. Can't say for sure if the yuki clasp cover is of the better and newer batch but as it was bought quite recently it might be. As @Yllekp wrote and you can see in one of the picture, using an gen clasp cover on it makes a huge difference, it's not only the coronet that differ on the clasp cover between the gen and the yuki one but the total form and shape of the clasp cover is much better. I can take no credit for this work on this bracelet as it was done by someone else, just showing the difference as it could be of interest.

I did not do the work on mine either except for the end links. I believe from looking at that GMT that we may share the same Craft Master.

What work did the modder do on your bracelet besides the changing of the clasp cover? Verstuurd vanaf mijn F5321 met Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But as @Yllekp wrote and you can see if you compare the yuki bracelet with mine, the heads of of the rivets is flatter on mine compared with the yuki one, so they are flatten. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The the bracelet sides have been shaved. The links have been polished brushed and slightly thinned down. The Yuki is thicker than the gen. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
