1999 Sub 16613 Help

[EagleBear]

Hello Gents and Ladies
I'm in need of some help and direction. I have a 16613 A serial number purchased last year. We purchased it knowing it was during the time Rolex was doing some upgrades and maybe get an upgraded clasp with the gold running through it at a later time.
Also when purchased didn't think about the little things that were supposed to come with it not that it's a big deal or anything but it would of been nice to have had the anchor, polishing cloth and tags as well as whatever else came with it when it was sold new. My question and where I need help is now I would like to complete the set as well as get the 93253 instead of the 93153.
Is it even worth my time trying to make it happen or it pretty much an impossible task... the clasp code is x12
here are a few pics thank you all in advance.

So all you got from the seller was watch and box?
I'm sure you'll be able to 'complete' it, if you so desire.
Perhaps, start by checking classifieds here first.

As far as, being worth your time? That's up to you.
Good luck in your search.

Weird - you have solid end links but the old style clasp...
Did you get papers with the watch? If not I wouldn't bother adding other bits personally - the price it's worth will be limited without papers. It's still nice to get the missing pieces though I guess.

Thanks for the comments and advice so far I appreciate it.
I have been watching the classified section to see if anything pops up. Now as far as the end links go and the bracelet, I do have the old style bracelet with the hollow end links 93153 -18 which is dated X 12 1999 .
The following year 2000 bracelet code 93253 was the upgrade with gold through clasp and the SELs clasp code of AB
Which is why I found I can't just simply replace the clasp because it would be wrong codes clasp code and bracelet code would be 93253.
Paperwork and service history I'm not really worried about when I take it to RSC Bev Hills
for service that will be taken care of. It's all the little accessories it should of come with I'd like to have. Thanks Again for the help

Beautiful watch. I know what you mean about the missing parts. The anchor was cool and I liked having the tags. I have seen them on eBay before. As for the. Also, personally if it could be done, I would want the gold. If this is a keeper for you then do to it what you want. If it's a seller then perhaps "as is" would be better. Enjoy and wear in good health!

That is a beauty. My thoughts:

You might well me able to find a newer TT bracelet with gold through the clasp. But...that's going to be pricey and I would think fairly difficult to source.

Maybe your best bet is to look for what you're looking for and flip what you've got for it.

Thanks guys for your input I've thought about doing just that trading it in for one just a few years newer but I actually have my heart set on finding a 2004 or 2005 gmt 16713 rootbeer by the first week of Feb 2018 lol so I think I will focus on just the accessories for the Blusey for now unless things just happen to fall into place without having to force it to happen.
