Question about 16613 bracelet

I've always been a fan of the 16613, but I have not been a fan of the bracelets on the late model Subs. I'm assuming the clasp is the same on the 16613 as a 16610, but is the two-tone bracelet any different? Are the gold links hollow like the stainless steel ones?

My understanding is the centre links on a Sub 13313 are hollow.
Would be very sweet if the centre links were solid bad 18kt gold

This hollow link stuff is complete nonsense,the term hollow link in say gold means like on bracelets,neck chains etc.The gold is made out of thin gold walls to make chain bracelet look bigger heavier than what it is bellow is a so called hollow link in a TT SUB.An the links must have holes to put the link screws in even the old type have been stress tested to over 500lbs

The bracelets on the late model Subs are just wonderful! What's not to like about them? It's great being able to adjust the clasp through out the day as the temperature changes!

Love the weight of the new solid bracelets also.
