New bracelet Old watch

Hey guys,
Quick question... I have a 71' sub that came with a 78' 93510 bracelet. The bracelet is pretty beat up and stretched out, so I went to my local AD and bought a brand new 93150 for it. Now that I put it on my watch i'm not sure about it. Do you think it looks weird to have a brand new bracelet on a vintage sub??? Thanks!

Give it a few months of daily wear, it'll match the watch fine. Mind sharing with the group what the AD charges for a new 93150?

What happened to the top link going to the end link on the 12 o'clock side on the right? If you look at the first pic you can see what I'm talking about. Sorry not sure if it's just the angle but it just caught my eye.
Does look good and enjoy!

It's just a glare I guess. Nothing on it in person

Sweet. Im glad it was just a glare. It looks great and in a month or two it will blend in perfect. Enjoy and no worries

Looks good. I put a brand new Jubilee from the AD on my 1675. Looked a bit too shiny at first, especially with the PCLs, but it's wearing in well.

looks ok to me but you might want to save the old original bracelet if you ever want to sell the watch.

Thank you everyone. I think it will match up a little better after some daily wear!

Thanks for posting the pics, looks great!

Curious, did the $1075 include new end links too? If so can you share which ones you got? 580's? 501b's? I'm contemplating doing the same is why I ask.

Personally I think you'll quickly adapt to and appreciate the upgraded bracelet.

Great looking MK IV Red Sub, bracelet and all, especially the dome! I think these also look great on a nato strap.
