Hi Members,
I went to a Watch&Clock fair yesterday (Nr Birmingham, UK), sold my Sub 16610 and purchased a Z serial SD 16600 from a dealer there. I got home happy with my new watch and started to research it...Ok, this is when I start getting nervous..Despite the bracelet reference being 93160A and the clasp code being OP4 and these same ref numbers and letters can be found on the inside edge of the SELs I realised that the links of the bracelet are the same size as my sub ND 93150 bracelet..Is this right or should the SD bracelet be of a thicker/chunkier build?? I sent the dealer the same queries and he reckoned that mine is correct.. (he has offered me a full refund if I'm still not happy). What do the SD experts say??

The SD bracelet is ref 93160 and is basically the same as on the 16610 subs,main difference polished sides and the interchangeable extension link bracelet looks correct.

Hey thanks guys - I'm feeling much better now (my "this is a frankenwatch" neurosis was getting the better of me!)

You have nothing to worry.
Here are pics to show.

Looks good. Also on the SD on the 6 o'clock side the nearest link to clasp is a full link instead of half link.

Looks good

but it's always a worry when you come across something unexpectedly and need to make a decision on the spot unless, of course, you've been researching it in advance or have a photographic memory.

I've started to keep a little file in my i-phone of things to look out for - just in case....

Would love to see some pics of the face

PS - I've got to say that I am missing my Sub Date which has the Cyclops and had the lug holes which made it SO much easier to swap straps..
