Help 93150

Hi all

I have been studying the 93150 bracelet on my 1680 (6m) and got to a point where all the evidence suggests that it's not genuine, despite RSC did a complete overhaul recently and they didn't have any issues with the bracelet.

I then started to look for a used 93150 bracelet and i come across this link below. The first one is extremely similar to what i have and now all of a sudden, i am starting to believe that mine is probably original bracelet after all.

What do you guys think?

The 93150 has been around for quite a while. There are several minor variations over time.

If the RSC didn't shread it, it is genuine.....

Enjoy your bracelet.

Post some pictures if you want opinions.

As already stated if it's been to Rolex it's most likely real.

I bought a bracelet from that guy once, great seller and I would have no reason to believe it wasn't 100% legit.

To me it looks OK!
Clasp code VC for 1978, 93150 "stamp" also OK. Still a nice thick crown on clasp and matching "old style" 580s Enjoy

I have a VC 93150 on my 1978 GW and the stampings are identical to yours, nothing to worry about!

since i am at it, one more for all to provide views / comments. This is on 16800 (original receipts dated 1984). I am concerned also with the diver extension links. The bracelet feels lighter as well, but maybe because I am paranoid.

Comments?

thank you guys....this is probably better than RSC - faster and free...(yes where i come from RSC charges for verification).

photo of 16800 to share with all. Not a vintage but neither a modern piece. Just in between..
