right bracelet for Yuki Submariner 16610 case?

[Timelord]

When Yuki stocked case kits, I bought the last 16610 case kit for the eta 2836 movement which came with everything but the bracelet.  I recall he did not stock bracelets for this particular kit, so I used a NATO nylon strap.  

 

However, I have quite a few bracelets for the 16610 model from varying sources including a Raffles bracelet, but none of them fit as the lug holes do not line up with the SEL springbar cavities.  I know you can use bent spring bars (banana spring bars), but even then, there is a limit to how far you can bend them before the bracelet will fall off the case at the touch of anything.  I had this very experience with bending a couple of spring bars to get them right into their spot.  Upon wearing the watch, the spring bar gave way while I stepped into my car when my watch gently touched the steering wheel falling on the car floor, hence saving the watch😲.  If it hit a tile floor I would not be posting this thread!!!

 

Has anyone ever built one of these Yuki kits and successfully also put on a bracelet?  if so, I would appreciate which bracelet you used and where to source them?  The other option is to file the SEL parts to make them fit but this might be a hit or a miss as both sides need to be done.

 

I notice that Silix cases also have their own fit  bracelets and so do others like the Noobmariner F520117 where no other bracelet fits this Noob but that designed for this watch.

 

Not the end of the world, but it is annoying.  Any feed back much appreciated with thanks!!!

So to clarify you have a 16610 SEL (No Lug Hole case?) 

 

I think this takes a 93250.  Yuki cases, from my experience, take "Genuine" bracelet parts. 

 

Have you tried WholesaleOutlet, they are usually made to fit the real deal, and Yuki case kits came close real deal measurements.

 

Try this, and find a gen/clasp, or a gen bracelet....

Alternatively, reach out to BKLM1234, for an ARF bracelet and see if that fits.  Or simply resell the Yuki and get an ARF 16610...

Yes. Exactly!    It was the one that takes the eta 2836-2 movement

I think the Yuki cheaper eta cases were different from those $900 ones that took on the genuine movement!  I am not so sure now!  I think someone mentioned here many moons ago that the bracelet from the noob FS20117 would also fit, but am not sure!    This is the risk on the rep game where nothing is to spec!

 

thanks for your input
