Paul's comments about the dial and lume patina are good points.

Would it be possible to put the upgraded bracelet with solid endlinks and gold clasp on a 90's 16613?

I'm trying to find the dimensions/weight of the 16613 vs a 126613LB. I know they're very similar but the Devil is in the details. Ideally I'd like a smaller, thinner, lighter case than the modern sub.
It would look odd and unbalanced to have the bigger bracelet on the 2010 even if it fitted imho. Bit like the Bb58 Tudor a lovely watch but the clasp is way too big for case !
