Here's a link for bracelet and end links: http://watch-collector.co.uk/rolex-b...nd-link-codes/

Did you buy it???
That chart is not every accurate. Sub 16800 info is incorrect and some of the GMT info too. There is much better reference material out there on the internet and on this forum. It's because of charts like this that so many guys become confused when looking for correct end links to match up with a certain bracelet and watch.

The Fat Lady Sings! Sorry for the poor IPad pic, but it's home and I Love it. It fit perfectly, I'm an 11 link 93150 guy. I Love the thicker case and bezel, and the big crown guards. The open 6's and 9's dial is very cool too. The dial is blotchy but I'm sure it's going from Gloss to Matte as there is more flat black than gloss. The plots are beginning to turn ever so slightly. The bezel insert is is very clean with the red going nicely flat. I will consider how I feel about the missing Lume in the GMT hand, but for now it's fine because I feel this is an all original piece. The case is worn but I dont think it's ever been polished. The bevels are still in tact although not super sharp. The bezel itsel is quite nice and I would call it semi crisp. I think the watch was worn and enjoyed, and is a very honest original piece. I'm thrilled! The bracelet is a K7 so it coincides with the 9.6 mil serial (1896-1987) The Fat Lady sings!!!

Glad you went for it.
Strangely, having seen a few now, I like the missing lume on the GMT hand.

Open 6 & 9 date wheel is a great feature.

Enjoy

Thanks guys! It's been such an interesting learning experience. GMT's are hot right now, and this one is just so unique within the GMT family. I'm very happy with it.
