Hi, guys, not sure if is it vintage, 23 years old watch.
I already bought one and my question is. What bracelet should be with this watch?
My quess: 78393 but my watch came with 78363. So I just need to know what belongs to this Daytona.
And another question. Will fit bracelet of new daytonas fits this old watch too?
Thank you for your answers.

Thank you for your answer. Does it mean that 78393 was never came new with 16523? Because a lot of Daytonas 16523 are now for sale with it. And it looks perfect.

A little bit of misinformation here.

A U serial should not have a 78363, it should have a 78393 without question.
In addition, a U serial "could" have either a 78393 with removable end links OR a 78363A with solid end links. Under NO circumstance should it have a 78363 which were only correct on the very early 16523's from RLNEX, etc..

W,T,U,A,P should all have 78393's. And if you want to get even more specific..

U was the transitional serial where it went from 78393 to 78393A. If you want to split hairs, U1 through U5 "should" be 78393 and U5-U9 "should" be 78393A. But it is widely accepted that U serials can have Tritium or Luminova Dials and A or non A Bracelets.

I often see these bracelets for sale for around $2000 USD on ebay and via collectors. Hope that helps.

Thank you PVR. I did some research again and I agree with you.

Wish to ask whether it'll be possible to fit a bracelet 78360 / 503B endlinks onto a W series 16523 daytona.

Basically hoping to install a steel bracelet onto the two tone daytona.

Thank you.
