97200 is the perfect upgrade for the 16610/16600

Reduces all rattle, solid center links and the additional 12g of weight helps balance watches like the 16600.

Or you can go that extra mile and add a 98210 clasp for the ultimate glidelock experience.

2008 16600 with 92700 + 98210 clasp bottom

With the number of fixed (non-removable) links on the 6 o’clock side, my 16610 wouldn’t fit quite right and I always had to turn my wrist an excessive amount to read the date through the cyclops. I flipped my bracelet around and that resolved the problem.

I like the bracelet on the 16610 since it’s both light and durable. I also like the bracelet on my 114060 (especially the glide lock). Can’t say that I have a preference. They’re just different.

Yes flip it. And when you go to RSC to ask a question and they check your watch, enjoy the surprised look on their face when they tell you the crown is facing the wrong direction

5 digit bracelet is an insult to humanity after wearing 6 digits. End of story.

Guess I prefer insulting humanity then.

Rolex used the 5-digit bracelets for decades, and think they work fine.

6 digit. Not even close. Have you ever worn the oyster glide on the Sub C?, it’s perfect. The extra glide on the rest of the oyster line is also way better than any 5 digit bracelet.
