ShawnBeever Posted September 28, 2008 Report Posted September 28, 2008 How realistic is this I have assembled this folded link bracelet from some spares and a folded oyster band of the bay Its obviously not stamped with the any numbers but I think its an improvement . What do you think, should I go back to the standard MBW item ?
Tribal Posted September 28, 2008 Report Posted September 28, 2008 I think it looks good I have ordered also a 19mm folded one for a DW. Replace the Clasp on it. The idea is good I think Maybe there is a option to stamp the Endlink with the right number.
JoJo35 Posted September 28, 2008 Report Posted September 28, 2008 Nice Job! Try not to go too nuts, it is a rep afterall. If you wanted to get a little closer, search for an older gen clasp, and either 380 or 580 end links Cheers, JJ
Stephane Posted September 28, 2008 Report Posted September 28, 2008 Lovely band. I like it very much Congrats on your efforts to put it toghether.
freddy333 Posted September 28, 2008 Report Posted September 28, 2008 Did Rolex ever make a folded link with that clasp?
JoJo35 Posted September 28, 2008 Report Posted September 28, 2008 Did Rolex ever make a folded link with that clasp? No, that is a heavy oyster clasp with the later "two line" flip-lock
Slartibartfast Posted September 28, 2008 Report Posted September 28, 2008 This is a very good atempt IMO. Wht parts did you use as a base? I agree, though, you should ditch that clasp, in favour of a standard single lock.
freddy333 Posted September 28, 2008 Report Posted September 28, 2008 No, that is a heavy oyster clasp with the later "two line" flip-lock Yeah, I did not think that looked right.
ShawnBeever Posted September 28, 2008 Author Report Posted September 28, 2008 Has anyone got a photo of the correct clasp for a 5512 on a folded link band.
freddy333 Posted September 28, 2008 Report Posted September 28, 2008 Has anyone got a photo of the correct clasp for a 5512 on a folded link band. Note the lack of lines on the flip-lock clasp
ShawnBeever Posted September 28, 2008 Author Report Posted September 28, 2008 Thanks I'll get the file out!
Slartibartfast Posted September 28, 2008 Report Posted September 28, 2008 Hang on guy! I think that there has been a bit too much criticism here (me included). We must not lose sight of the fact that this is a good attempt at a strap mod, that as far as I know, no one has attempted before. Congrats!
flex Posted October 1, 2008 Report Posted October 1, 2008 Shawn, I think it would be cheaper to buy folded bracelet with the proper clasp off ebay..

marsupilami Posted October 1, 2008 Report Posted October 1, 2008 .. please note that the links are not folded like the gen. vintage bracelets ( one piece construction). They are folded like seiko bracelets (2 pieces).
