True comparison of 116710 bracelet on 126710BRLO fit vs stock oyster / Pepsi combo. A

So I got the 116710 bracelet on my 126710 BLRO that originally came on jubilee.

I can safely say the bracelet fits SECURELY with the Pepsi spring bars. That being said, upon further inspection of photos from the 126710 with factory oyster the fit isn’t exactly the same.

On wrist it’s barely noticeable (view pic below)





However, because the spring bars of the Pepsi are required to fit the bracelet, the end link holes are a little wider to compensate for the 116710 spring bars.

That being said. The end links do not fit as flush to the lugs as you would see in the current Pepsi models on oyster from factory. View comparison pics







As you can see. My 126710 fit with 116710 bracelet shows about 1mm more of the inner lug than what is seen on the Pepsi with correct 126710 oyster bracelet.

Unfortunately, I was not able to order correct oyster as they haven’t released them on the parts list yet for the 126710, but was able to purchase one for the 116710LN and BLNR

I still love the look regardless.

This post is just for anyone wondering.

Thanks for sharing. With the 116710 bracelet, is there play at all where the end links have a bit of play? or it it securely locked in?

A tiny bit of play. But takes a lot of manipulation to get movement.

There is no noticeable play on wrist whatsoever

This is a good endeavor, thanks much for sharing!

The 1mm area of the inside lugs not being covered will probably bug some of the “OCD” people, but overall still looks great on your wrist.

Did it take you long to source one? Condition looks good, hope the cost wasnt exorbitant in today’s environment

I was able to order a 116710LN bracelet from AD with my cousins serial. He actually needed a new bracelet but is letting me hold onto it for a while. (Hoping he forgets about it lol)
