I am trying to find some information on bracelet links and wondering if anybody might be able to help or point me in the right direction.

I need a link for a 78790 bracelet and I am trying to see if the links used in the Exp II bracelet are the same links used in the sub or SD bracelet. I know the bracelets have different part numbers and I'm sure this is due to the slightly different clasp configuration on the subs. I hate to ask a silly question but I have searched the reference forum and I have found a lot of info on bracelets, end links etc but can't seem to find anything that provides specifics on the links.

I see a few for sale on the sales forum, more than happy to pick one up but just want to make sure its the correct link.

Thanks in advance for any info you can provide

Best

Hi Dave,

I'm not an expert but I do have both watches (sub and exp II). As far as I can tell from just looking, the links are exactly the same except the expII links are polished on the sides and the sub links (from both the 93150 or 93250 bracelets) are brushed. I guess it is pretty easy to either brush the links from a 78790 or polish the links from a 93150/250)

Best

The easiest thing to do might be to go to your nearest AD and order one. I think they might be about $40 a piece. This sure would cut out a lot of the leg work and worry on your end.

Thanks for the information, I was under the impression that they were considerably more expensive but if that price is correct then its a no-brainer.

Thanks again

The gold and TT links can get pricey.. the SS are relatively cheap and most Dealers should have some in stock for fitting customers..

Thanks! I called my AD and he has ordered one for me, reasonably priced and it will give me an excuse to visit him and check out the new stuff
