I think I have worn out the band. Worn it every day since 87 so now need a new one. Anyone here know where I can buy one other than my Rolex dealer?

Have you checked the TRF classified section?

Check out threads on Michael Young, he rebuilds bracelets at a fraction of the cost for a new one and they are just like new.

Yup, or they come up here from time to time. Maybe put the new subc bracelet on it?

I think I heard here that the new bracelet won't fit the pre-ceramic Subs. I could be wrong about that though. From what I've heard about MY you can't go wrong with his work. You'll probably save a lot of money too.

Rolex will still sell you the band, but you need to trade in the old one. Michael Young is a cheaper and better choice.

It's possible to keep the old band, just take the watch head with you to Rolex, and say it doesn't have a band at all.

Quite true but the new type bracelet and clasp would cost more than his watch, the clasp alone is upward of £1000 repair is the best option from MY..

Time to explore NATO options perhaps...

Also, there are other era-correct 93150 bands offered by people on TRF, eBay and online watch forums...costs generally run under $1000.

RSCNYC will sell a new one and return the old one if you request it. They did it with my 16710 a few months ago.

perhaps have a look in the for sale section of the VRF.... vintage rolex forum.
