Trying to find an alternative to the 6694 band that is so thin at the clasp.
any suggestions for a wider clasped version that will fit.
Another rolex metal band?

You should post this in the vintage section. Try to clarify your question and as always, pics help.

I suggest that as long as the clasp is in good shape that you leave it as is and get used to the size.

It only looks funny because you're used to seeing the wider clasps of the larger watches.

78350 is heavier than 7835!

78350 is a solid link bracelet and is slightly heavier, the 7835 is hollow folded link bracelet and is a little less. We are only talking about a few ounces though.

It is a fairly severe taper on the 7835, but it the most comfortable steel band I've worn. You'll get used to it.

As already mentioned the solid link 78350 bracelet tapers less. Wears much heavier as well.
