There are a few options, as mentioned. I have a 16610 from 2004, no holes case with the 93250 bracelet, which has some stretch. I've been looking into getting it restored a bit (it was previously polished by RSC but the stretch was not fixed), and have run into a few alternatives.
A rubber strap looks great on a sub. I have a black oysterflex lookalike strap from Crafter Blue. Rubber B, Everest, Horus, and others make great alternatives as well. You can obviously purchase another OEM bracelet. Those have gotten more expensive as time goes on. You can have the bracelet stretch fixed by Rolliworks or a similar service. Though honestly I think Rolliworks is the best. It should be about $350-400 just to fix the stretch I think. They will do a great job. The final option that I went with (for now) was to buy a Ginault Ocean Rover bracelet. This is likely a controversial thing for some people, as the Ginault OR is famously a sub clone, but that's also why the bracelet fits on the 16610 so well. I know for a fact it fits without any gap or jiggle on my no-holes case, but I think it should fit on your 2002 case as well. It feels a more solid than the 93150 / 93250 bracelets with their 90's jangle and hollow links, and comes with a bootleg glidelock clasp that actually feels quite solid and allows for precise and easy microadjustment. It's about $280 I think. Good luck!
