93150 501B Check with Service (S) CL8 Clasp Code
Just got this in and links look way funky to me.
Not sure on the rest and any input is much appreciated. |

My biggest concern was the sort of “V” notch in the links, I was worried they were after market.
Totally beat up, I just wanted to double check it was entirely genuine, thanks ya’ll! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Some bracelet specialists, such as Rolliworks in the SF Bay area, may have the capability to do both for a reasonable cost. Refurbishment of the clasp is pretty straight forward.

I think another bracelet makes a lot more sense.
It’s a service bracelet, not a rare example of a 93150. Another bracelet will be slightly more than the repair cost, which I pin between $1000-$1500. If you were ok with another service bracelet, it might be bad for less than $1000. As to the validity (genuininity???) it is genuine in my opinion. Including the end links. |

The links look funky because they are completely worn out and dented from side to side wear. The links are essentially unusable and the bracelet needs a complete rebuild. I hope you didnt pay too much for it.

The end tubes are the worst part. It makes the first link grind against the inner edge of the lugs. Ruins the lugs and ultimately the case

Good news is I did not pay terribly much for it, was part of a lot buy.
I am going to just sell it as is and let it be someone else have the project. At least the end links look ok. Much appreciated to all who helped me out! |
