You can't go by "how many on each side" because everybody doesn't wear them the same..

The 93250 bracelet comes with 13 links, 2 endlinks, and a small half-link at the clasp..

I always shift at least one link from the 6:00 side to the 12:00 side so the watch...

tends to sit closer to the thumb side of the wrist.

The LV has the SAME Oyster Fliplock bracelet as the SS Sub-date 16610.

On the '12' side: 9 links + 1 FLAT link marked "S".

On the '6' side: 4½ links.

Just added one link to my watch that seller provided me as a spare .. I took the screwdriver that came with my seadweller and opened up the link, inserted the spare and now my watch fits me like a DAYAMM .... How beautifully easy .... my 9 yr old could have done it for me .... took about 2 mins ....

I have added link to Seikos ... it is freaking nightmare ... those darn pins and collars and you are never 100% sure if it is tight ....

With Rolex ... ahhh....what beauty, what ease ... AWESOME!!!!

Hello all,

Does anyone know if the 16610LV bracelet has a diver's wetsuit extension & do the links have a polished side profile (like 16710 GMT Master II) or a sand finish?

Thanks,

Rob.

All 16610's since about 2000 come with the 93250 SEL bracelet. They all have a diver extension and none have polished sides..

(The SD bracelet does have polished sides)
