Yes, they were about as good as they got. Rare to find now, but I was lucky enough to find one for my 5514 build. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went over to the neighbor site and couldn't figure out how to check price/order, though. Spreadsheet link and chat link were both dead. Can you give me a link?

automatico Posted November 21, 2021 Report Share Posted November 21, 2021 Nuq... "Try searching for an early MBW band too, they were REALLY good." Yep, they are good. I have two from MBK '1680' watches and one has hollow mid links and the other one has solid mid links. Other than that, they are identical and both have rivets where the clasp cap connects to the bracelet at the 'Z' blades (like OEM) where many replica/aftmkt bracelets use spring bars. You can install rivets but the flip lock lever needs to be spaced out a little and/or bent a little where it rubs the rivet heads. Some bracelets with rivets have a groove cut in the F/L to clear the rivet. MM... "I'm selling 93150 Italian made bracelets over at RWI." They look very good, I read about the 'back-outers' in the RWI thread. A long time watch dealer/trader told me 30+ years ago: "There are no friends in the mart." He was 100% correct...no deals with be-backs or pay-you-laters. CA$H now, order later. I still have 70+ unsigned oyster type bracelets waiting on a b-b since November 1999. Part of them...

pompompurin Posted July 31, 2022 Report Share Posted July 31, 2022 (edited) 1. Buy a 21j or 2836 bp or JKF (cartel) 5513 / 1680 / 1665 from the TD. Let the TD know you want it with an oyster bracelet with hollow middle links (like gen). 2. Check the QC pics to make sure you have a sub-looking oyster bracelet with hollow middle links. Don't worry about the clasp stamping (it can sometimes come with incorrectly stamped 93160 / 93250.. as long as it looks like a 93150, then it will function well) 3. Sell the head and keep the bracelet 4. (optional but highly recommended) buy better hollow end links for the 93150 bracelet. The stock 580 end links that i have handled before are absolutely trash and nowhere looking/ fitting like gen. From my experience, Mary 93150 is the same as bp or JKF (cartel) 5513 / 1680 / 1665 bracelet. Edited July 31, 2022 by pompompurin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
