Easylink bracelet for 16570

I have a 16570 Explorer II from 2008 and I'm thinking about changing the bracelet for a modern version. I know the current Submariner bracelet fits, I'm assuming the easylink oyster bracelet that comes with the 214270 Explorer I also fits? Does anyone have the reference number of the bracelet and where's the best place to pick one up?

I’ve got both those watches and tried swapping but couldn’t get it to work. I used both the spring bars but neither would click into place.

You can put the easylink clasp on the 16570 bracelet if all else fails however imo it would be unbalanced due to the hollow links of the bracelet. I have the same watch and i love how light it feels compared to my sd4k. Has a charm to it.

Are they hollow also for the later versions? Think they are solid.

Sub clasp I agree is too much but maybe Exp 214270?

I think you'd need hollow end links in order to perform the swap. Probably the biggest way to upgrade an already great watch.

77200 bracelet. Best bet is here or chrono24.

I was looking for one myself as I wanted quick adjustment for my 16610.
In the end I bought a 97200 from a SubC.

If it's just the quick adjustment you're after, you could alway source the easy link by itself (although they are pretty hard to get hold of now.
Part B32-20193-D1 or the clasp from a 214270 and fit it to your current bracelet.

I actually took the glidelock clasp off the 97200 bracelet and fitted it to the 93250 as I prefer the lighter feel of the older bracelet with the hollow links, the clasp doesn't feel unbalanced at all on it.
