Rolex 16613 bracelet

Hey guys. Ended up with a 1996 Rolex sub, black dial and insert. The bracelet and buckle are in worse shape than I was told/shown.

Are there any places that any of y'all have experience with in trying to find a used bracelet and buckle, without gold running through buckle?

Thanks guys. Looking forward to getting this watch up and running back on the wrist!

Hi Brad, post a pic of the bracelet, bracelet could be salvaged, look up Michael Young, he's a magician when it comes to bracelets..
If all else fails, a gently used one will be your next best option.

Is there any chance of returning/exchanging with the seller?

I tried, big argument and a waste of time.

I will post pics when I can actually upload them. Holding case out towards 3 o'clock and bracelet goes to about 6 o'clock. I'm to impatient to send to Michael, although, I know does great work and love seeing his bracelets members have had done. I'm just to impatient and would love to buy a back up so I can still wear the watch while the original is being fixed.

Thanks!
