new generation bracelet for ExpII ??

[Panos]

I have an Exp II (white face) and have been thinking of trying to get a ‘new generation bracelet fitted’ - i.e. the better quality bracelets where the folding clasp tapers and so on...

Has anyone done something along these lines ; do the’ new generation bracelets’ fit the old generation watches ?? And what kind of cost would I be looking at??
Presumably I don’t need the entire new bracelet but merely the new buckle and folding clasp part of the bracelet - I wonder if it is possible to only buy this and get it filled on to the existing bracelet

All feedback welcome

Thanks

You can not retrofit new items to an older Rolex at least not by an AD and if you do find a non ad to do you will have a"Frankenstein" that does not match the papers. I have an Ex2 polar myself and there is nothing wrong with the older band so my advice is forget about it and enjoy your watch. My Ex2 is without a doubt my favorite watch and I wouldn't change a thing. Hope that helps.

hi p have read a few threads here where new style bracelets have been fitted to the oldies. not sure about what fits to what though. i think sub c /gmt 11 c to 16610 sub date was a goer. j

Panos,

The new style clasp from (as an example) the Air-King 114200 and the GMT II 116710, fits as should the clasp from the new Submariner 116610. I do not know the ref numbers nor the prices, but there are members here that have the 114200 and the 116710 clasp on their Ex 16570. I find this to be a very good combination of the current lighter bracelet and the upgraded new style clasps.

Personally I prefer the lighter oysterlock clasp.

Best,

A
