93150 Gen Bracelet Question

[vlydog]

Is there a simple fix for a 93150 Gen bracelet that rattles at the clasp?

Thanks

Vaseline!

If the clasp is rattling, something may be bent or broken (are you sure you have a gen clasp?).

Most of the rattling comes from the 'play' in the end links (the looseness where they fit to the case). This is common to all hollow end link Rolex bracelets. The only remedy, if you are daring enough to employ it, is to bend the bottom 'flaps' of the end links so the end link fits tighter against the bottom of the case. I have done this successfully with a couple of bracelets, but you run the risk of bending the links out of shape. So proceed (only if you know what you are doing) with caution.

In most cases, it is best just to live with the rattling, since it is normal & a 'feature' of vintage Rolex.

Yeah unfortunately the bracelets Rolex stuck on their watches until very recently and a few still now, just make a lot of noise. It's one common complaint even with huge Rolex fans, some of their bracelets just don't feel proper on a multi thousand dollar watch.

Hey B,

The 93150 bracelet on my 16610 rattles like hell too...it's just how it is. It's Rolex! Comfortable as hell though, I have to look down at my wrist to make sure it's still there sometimes...when it's not rattling of course.
