1680 Bracelet

[StanleyLock]

I have a 1680 that I bought but did not come with a bracelet. I would love to find one that would fit it but would have the newer style microadjuster clasp on it. Is this possible and where would I even look for one that fits it?

What type of microadjuster exactly? Any photos? My 1680 with 5.2M serial came with a 93150 and 580 endlinks, and that's what I'd recommend.

Do you mean Easy Link or Glidelock ?

I put an easy link adapter from steelreef.com and it gives me the adjustability I need.

Any recommendations on where to get one at?

You can get a vintage 93150 pretty much anywhere: eBay, forums sales sections, other collectors, etc. I believe you can get a new one from an AD. If you want one that is period-correct, look for one with a plain flip-lock without grooves, and you can obviously check the date code on the clasp.

I bought a 1680 with a cheap no-name bracelet on it. Took it to my local Tourneau AD and asked to buy a new bracelet. They immediately ordered me a full 93150 complete with endlinks and springbars, then installed and sized it for me when it came in. $1250 plus tax, way cheaper than any used bracelet I could find on the internet.

I'm currently between holes in my ExpII bracelet and wondering if I should get an additional set of holes drilled between two current ones....

Would something like this work? I have the clasp, just not sure how to remove the clasp from my original one to put it on something like this.

Do you want aftermarket parts? Or an authentic Rolex bracelet? Most likely, you would need to get a bracelet in-hand, to inspect and figure out how you could install the clasp. I have no idea how your clasp is attached to the bracelet. Are regular 93150 is attached on one side by a sheet metal connector, and the links on the other size fit into the clasp and connect with a springbar. You might need to rig something.

Review on OystersJubilee oyster bracelets was posted on YouTube a few days back, looks very good. I couldn’t embed the link for some reason but if you search OystersJubilee on YouTube it will show up

Almost any non-SEL Rolex Oyster bracelet made for a 40mm sport watch will likely fit on your 1680.

If you want a new one, go to a Dealer or send your watch to an RSC for service. The new replacement is a 93150

OystersJubilee's pricing is crazy! Appreciate they are aftermarket and not necessarily replicas, because they don't come with clasps or anything Rolex stamped/engraved but... I paid less for a Rolex 78360 with clasp (no end links) for not much more than they charge without the clasp and I paid less for a Rolex 7836 than they charge for their version... again, with the clasp! I would definitely be going to your local AD or just keeping your eye out on ebay and alike!

Yeah OystersJubilee isn’t cheap but the quality is pretty darn good. There are no Rolex logos but the bracelets and end links are stamped and the stampings are very well done. Are you able to find vintage style bracelets like the 7836 or 9315 at ADs? I’ve found used stuff but it’s usually really worn and still expensive. New old stock pricing on eBay is just astronomically high.

Eh, if those aren't replicas, I don't know what is. They are made to deceive. And those prices...wow.

Yes, by dint of stampings like this:




And by numbering the bracelets exactly like the genuine article.

Thank you for this btw! I ordered one after seeing this for my 16700. Great stuff.
