16750 bracelet endlink fit

I’ve had my GMT on an aftermarket bracelet or leather strap for a while since the original has more stretch than I would like.

I recently tried the 78790 bracelet off my polar explorer and it fits, but I feel like the end link fit is off. Is this bracelet an ok replacement fit wise? I can also try the bracelet from my sub lv or subC but thought I read those won’t fit at all.

Any feedback on correct SEL bracelet replacement?

Not very many, if any, 16750 cases were machined on the backside to accept an SEL bracelet.

Yeah the endlink from the 78790 looked like it fit but the underside of the end link doesn’t stand off against the case. This allowed the endlink to rotate away from the watch. I guess I’ll stick to the aftermarket bracelet for now. Thanks.

I’ve had the same question. My research indicates SEL prolly won’t work on 16750
