16700 Pepsi Bracelet Help
Hoping for some help. I have a 16700 Pepsi...papers are dated October 1993, and its on a jubilee bracelet stamped 'S' which I believe is 1994. I would like to buy a period oyster bracelet for the watch to have the option of both bracelets (as much as I love the jubilee look). So far I have not been able to source a 78790A/SEL oyster from 1994, but I have found an 'R' stamped 93150/SEL oyster which I think was an option with the 16700 reference.
Can anyone shed some light on whether this would be a fine match for the watch in terms of year/bracelet type or does my quest need to continue for 78790A? Many thanks in advance |

A 93150 bracelet was very common on the 16700.

The GMT 16700 in the early 1990s had 3 oyster options: i) 78360 with the classic clasp, ii) 78790 with "small" flip lock clasp (like the Explorer II), and iii) 93150 with "large" flip lock clasp (like the Sub). All are non-SEL.
The 78790A (A for SEL) was introduced towards the end of the 1990s/early 2000s, so you will never find a period correct SEL bracelet for your watch circa 1992-1993! The 93150 R serial is perfect and period correct for your 16700. It is also non-SEL though... The SEL option was introduced around 2000 and the ref was changed to 93250. |

My 96 GMT16700 is on a 78360 bracelet with 501 end links and a 93150 R clasp with dive extension. Must sat, works really well!
