Are bracelet links between Rolex submariner 116613LB and 16113 compatible?

[Alvar*]

I was wondering, if I could replace a bracelet link of my old 16113 bluesy to a
solid gold center link of a 40 mm 116613LB bluesy. a Friend of mine told me this would be possible but I'm still skeptical.

Ideas? Does anyone know what rolex service would charge me for a new 16113 bracelet link?

It fits at least on the endlink.
I suspect that the links themselves are nearly identical, except from the fact that the links are hollow links on 5series.
I suspect the clasp to be a bit larger, however, on recent submariners.
The color of gold may have changed too, to a slighltly lighter (less yellow) color.

The link that you will replace needs to be well positioned, as the bracelet is thinner towards the clasp.

Only way to know is trying :)

Thank you! I will try it and report my success here.

It's a 16613.. and yes, the links are interchangeable.
