Has anyone ever took the clasp from a 78790 bracelet and put it on a 93150 bracelet. I was looking at the 2 bracelets and they seem to be the same, hollow center links and non SEL. Only difference i noticed was the polished sides on the 78790. I dont dive and like the smaller size of the 78790 clasp and wanted to put it on the 93150 bracelet.

Thanks

Oyster bracelets are all the same size at the clasp and most are interchangeable..... a 78790 clasp is a direct bolt-on to a 93150 bracelet, however, the 78790 has a full link attached and the 93150 clasp has the half-link attached because the clasp is physically larger.

A nifty trick for the small wristed with an older bracelet is to find a late (post 2000) Daytona clasp (and a couple of others) because they do not have a link permanently attached at the 6 oclock end of the clasp. This allows you to go down to one less link on that side without removing a permanent link..
