Which bracelet's fit the 116719BLRO?
Hi, just wondering which all brushed steel bracelet's would fit the 116719BLRO? I'm thinking of buying a 116710BLRO at some point but I'd really like to put it on a brushed bracelet (with glide lock if possible). Thanks!
I am ware that I probably also have to own said watch to get the extra bracelet. |

I'd be more inclined to change the clasp to a white gold glidelock if it'll fit. This way you would still keep the white gold braclet. You could brush the centre links if you want.

I think the metal color will be off if you are using a steel band.

I just figured I wouldn't baby it as much if I had a "beater" bracelet per say. Since the bracelet is what usually gets the brunt of the abuse. I know the swirls on the PCL's on my Milgauss eat away at me a little each day.

The colours won't match and after a while I'm sure like most of us you won't worry about scratches even on a $40K watch.

I wouldn't do it. I would however brush it if you have the stones.

I think the white gold case and steel bracelet would look weird together

But to answer your question I would assume the 116610 on glidelock would fit using the gmt spring bars as it did on my blnr. Also would guess the super jubilee would work with 1.8 spring bars. This is assuming the blro is identical to the blnr.

I would like to see a SS bracket on a WG case. That WG is softer compared to SS also. |

The beauty of this watch is also the bracelet, wear first for a while, scratch up the pcl and then have it brushed if you want.

Oh no...
That's like buying a Ferrari and strapping on a vinyl steering wheel cover from Wal Mart... Or wearing a Paul Smith suit with a clip on neck tie. < Shudder > |

I see what you mean. I found this older thread comparing WG to SS. The color difference is obvious now.
http://www.rolexforums.com/showthread.php?t=377845 I guess if I wanted glide lock in WG my only alternative looks like the bracelet for the 116619LB "smurf." |

If your worry is the bracelet...no problem it will be fine and the look and feel of the WG bracelet is the best part!!

If anyone was wondering that's a $17,800 bracelet. At that price it makes more sense to just buy the watch too. lol
