16750 Bracelet, clasp Question?

I have a 9.4 M serial # 16750 with a 93150 bracelet, however the clasp is a non fliplock the end links are 580. I have an idea this is not the correct bracelet clasp combination for this model? What would be the correct bracelet end link combo for the 16750.
thanks very much
Arthur

580s are the correct endlinks.

Sounds like maybe your 93150 is missing a piece?

The current service bracelet is a 78360 with 580s, but the 93150 is an acceptable option.

Thanks Mike,
The bracelet is marked 93150, however the clasp is a non fliplock and the number starts with a 6. It is very small and faint. I took the bracelet off last night to get the serial number off the watch for my insurance records. My 1680 has a 93150, but the clasp is a fliplock and is also marked 93150, so I felt like this one on my 16750 was a "put together" bracelet.

As Mike says...the 93150 is an acceptable bracelet on a GMT... It was an option for much of it's life..

The 580's are good, but the clasp should be the same number 93150, and have the Sub style extra links and diver extension inside...

It's likely that somewhere along the line, an owner didn't like the large Sub style clasp and changed it out...

You can find the correct 93150 clasp's only, if you do a little searching. Steve Mullholland has them from time to time.

thanks very much guys. I'm going to give Steve a shout, he has my Tudor 9411 right now doing some work on it, so if he has one it would be easy to throw the 93150 clasp in the box with my watch.

Err...Orchi agrees with Buddies Mike...n Larry...
93150/580 was a suitable option for 16750 GMT...
offered by Rolex n AD...at that time.

The other available n correct option at that time...
was the 62150H/555 Jubilee Bracelet too...
which was quite cool to have...

In fact...Orchi wears now a 16760 GMT FatLady...
which came complete with 93150/501 + FlipLock + Diver Extension links...
that fits like a glove...
