Here we go - again >>> 116613LB on 114060 bracelet

Quite some time back, I saw a user that had put the BLNR on a Jubilee bracelet. I knew right away at that time, I just needed to put my BLNR on a 62510H.

I have for the recent couple of weeks looked (internet) at the 116613LB - but the TT-bracelet drags too much attention from the watch (dial and bezel). The bracelet does not complement the watch. IMHO.

So - what to do? The same as with the BLNR, of course: Replace the bracelet.

116613lB on 114060 bracelet. Just a merge of two images from Rolex.com. Had to do an image merge, since I haven't seen live photos of this combo (yet).

I like the look. Enough to explore this avenue further. :)

Brilliant! I posted a number of weeks ago asking whether anyone had ever swapped out a steel bracelet for the TT version because, like you, I'm not a fan of the TT bracelet on this watch. It looks even better than I had imagined!

User "Rolexdiver" on Instagram (www.instagram.com/rolexdiver) kindly did this experiment for me today - and posted a live image. OMG - that looks so good.

When the bracelet is all steel and brushed, the bezel and dial POPS since the bracelet now plays a more modest role...

Is this the 114060 bracelet? what is the difference to the one from 116610?

It is the 114060. Not sure if it is any different from the bracelet on a 116610 - but I don't think it should be any different (since the 114060 fits the 116613LB case - and the 116610 case is just the same as the 116613, right?)

Maybe a TT-jubilee on the 116613LB would be nice...

Here it is on my 116710LN bracelet. Sorry for the poor quality iPhone pics. Didn't have the time to grab the better camera.

Just so we can mix SS clean tone with WG's warm tone? No - THAT would sure look odd mixing close - but not close - tones like that.

Honestly, I think the brushed looks a lot better.

Agreed, because the all brushed links lets the bezel and dial shine on it's own - and PCLs are attention magnets.

I've been thinking about brushing out the PCLs for a while now. Even posted a thread. I might actually do it now to have this combo. Lol but how many ppl would think the TT sub is a fake on the brushed combo? Lol
