seal63 Posted May 20, 2009 Report Share Posted May 20, 2009 Hi guys! Any suggestion about that? Which one do you prefer? Many thanks from Italy. Alberto Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alligoat Posted May 20, 2009 Report Share Posted May 20, 2009 Hollow is correct, AFAIK. Solid is an invention of the rep mfrs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ubiquitous Posted May 20, 2009 Report Share Posted May 20, 2009 As aligoat said... Hollow is *correct* for the watch, in terms of what the genuine came fitted with. However, your personal preference may vary. Some people like the solid links as they feel a bit more substantial; I know a couple of gen owners who greatly dislike the hollow links. BTW, Rolex has been slowing converting over to solid link bracelets as well. For solid 18K (not TT), links have been solid for some time now. For SS, the change started with the 16622 Yacht-Master and then with the 116520 Daytona. Other models, like the new TOG, etc. have been going solid as well.

creation88 Posted May 23, 2009 Report Share Posted May 23, 2009 I just received my MBK/MBW 1665 GWSD which came with a 93150 hollow mid links bracelet. The bracelet it much lighter and tinnier than the 93250 hollow mid links bracelet on my gen 16610 -- the links are quite a lot thinner, which makes it feel a bit cheap and nasty. Having never handled a gen vintage 1665 I'm not sure if it's supposed to be like that. The watch itself is amazing, though -- just going through a light modding process (new bezel insert, crown guard shaving, edge rounding etc.). I'll post pics when it's done.

ubiquitous Posted May 24, 2009 Report Share Posted May 24, 2009 The gen links are a bit more substantial than rep links. A couple of pics of a gen 78360 with 580 ends and 93150 clasp: Worn away in some spots... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
