1680 3.9 serial bracelet

Hi I have a 1680 3.9 serial sub, Just the head, no bracelet

What would be the correct bracelet, end links and spring bars to attach it to the watch be?.
And would I need anything else? and best place to find one.

What sort of price would it cost?, not looking for anything mint, just something I can put on a daily beater.

Thank you kindly

The 9315 flip lock oyster bracelet originally came on that watch, but a 93150 would be an acceptable replacement bracelet. Unfortunately, it will set you back $600-$1,000 for one

Could be either a 9315 or a 93150; I'd have to recommend the 93150 as it's a better fitting bracelet (although that's a little subjective, a little reading on here with tell you that 95% of folks agree with that statement) and will cost significantly less than the 9315.

Price-wise, it all depends on condition. If you are happy to accept a few scratches, you're looking at probably less than $1000 (or £650ish in old-country money).

Hey I have a question for you. Your 3.9 mil sub does it have the original dial? And if it does is it a red submariner dial. Mine is the same serial 3.9 but has a service dial that is just white.
Thanks

The 93150 was released around 1974 or 75 and was used in conjunction with the 9315 bands until they were depleted during the late 1970's. It is not easy finding a 1974-1975 date coded 93150, but others will work as well and are the same until the early 1980's when the clasp dimple was removed from the side of the clasp. Nice 93150's and 9315's cost close to the same price so many owners have opted for the 93150 bands instead of replacing 9315 bands.

Nice 93150 bracelets run about $800 to $1,000.

The C&I Oyster bracelet, USA made, would also work and be correct.

So just to confirm would a non date stamped 9315 with 380 end links be correct?

thanks
