Does the D serial GMT II 16710 , and the new Daytona 116610 have different steel bracelets? The GMT II bracelet seems to be more flimsy and weigh less.

Impossible since 116610 is a Sub and would have the diver clasp.

sorry , it's a Daytona not a Sub, I wrote the reference number wrong.

Then yes they are different. The GMT bracelet doesn't have an easy-link clasp and the center links on the GMT are not polished. The new Daytona uses PCL's and the new clasp.

Yup very different bracelet. 16710 has 78790 bracelet code that is hollow link yet very strong.

116520 has 78490 or 78590 bracelet codes with solid links, heavier and with polished center links

You've been given good answers in this thread.

There is a big difference, especially comparing the clasps. The look is the same, but the feel is different. Personally I prefer the even older Oyster bracelets.

Best,
