Submariner Bracelet questions

[coreythekid]

I'm trying to replace the bracelet on my 14060m z serial. I have a few questions. Any help is much appreciated. Thank you.

1. Can someone please explain why the new solid bracelets made for the 114060 won't fit on the 14060m? If I keep the original end links (501b) from the 14060m wouldn't the rest of the new bracelet fit?

2. Will the old or new Rolex explorer 1 oyster bracelet fit on the 14060m? I'm not a huge fan of the dive extension found on the sub's oyster.

The end links on the newer 97200 bracelet are fixed, so you can't swap them out with your old 501Bs...

1. What Guitarfan said. The new endlinks are fixed to the bracelet, and the way the 14060m case is made, they will not fit.

2. Probably, if you keep the Sub's endlinks. However, if your problem is the diver's extension you only need to change the clasp. Why not buy a 78790 clasp ? Or better still, just replace the diver's extension with a connection link from any non-Sub 20mm oyster bracelet and keep your 93150 clasp ?

Just get the 78790 clasp it fits me better than the clasp on my ND Sub I owned.Or if you have the cash just buy a new 78790 A (SELs) bracelet off a GMT , I think that should fit.

I don't think ANY SEL bracelet will fit the 14060m case.
That's why I think the best solution is to keep the bracelet and change the clasp, or just replace the diver's extension with a fixed connection link.

Thank you for the replies guys. I will take your suggestions and look into just the end clasp link or the 78790 bracelet/clasp.
