Hey TRFers,

I bought a 2009 No Date Sub that was head only. Now, I'm looking to buy the proper bracelet. There's a seller who has a 1996 bracelet for sale. Would that bring the watch up to specs or we're there changes to the bracelet between 1996 and 2009?

Much thanks,

Jeff

Circa 1998 the 14060 became the 14060m with an updated movement. Circa 2008 that 14060M became COSC certified too. So there has been slight modifications to the actual watch.
The 93150 bracelet and 501b end links I think is what you are looking for. And no I don't think it has changed over the years.

The changes were primarily in the bracelet clasp codes stamped just above the STEELINOX mark.
Toph is right. The 93150 bracelet and 501b end links are what you want.

Code- Year
V- 1996
Z- 1997
U- 1998
X- 1999
AB- 2000
DE- 2001
DT- 2002
AD- 2003
CL- 2004
MA- 2005
OP- 2006
EO- 2007
PJ- 2008
LT- 2009

So if you want an "era correct" bracelet then you'd opt for one matching the head's approximate production year...

Note that you can go for a bracelet code that is 3 or 4 years older that the reckoned date of the watch itself, as they often had that much disparity when bought new. If you're going for an authentic match, that is.
