Correct Bracelet for Tudor 76100

[Tudor76100]

What are the correct braclets that were issued with the 76100 . Mine doesn’t have the bracelet just a leather band but I’m now beginning to wonder.

Cheers.

1984 and a couple of years thereafter is your period - which is folded link.
They 'usually' came on a 9315 folded link with Rolex blades and Tudor clasp on 580 end links.
Fun fact some in UK (if you asked) came on a non f/lock 7836 with same blade/clasp config. too

This is what @Turo means, I'll be lucky enough to have one in a few days!

For purist choice, the most correct bracelet for 76100 is 9315 folded link with Tudor logo clasp. Hope you find one soon.

All I’ve owned, the early ones all had rolex stamped on clasp 9315. Later they moved to “Tudor” - either can work.

What about 78400? Wasn't that the successor to the Tudor 9315?

[ELLimon]

Mine has a 9315

[alwayshere]

a simple ebay or google search for Tudor 76100 would have yielded what you needed.

3 different watches, all the same clasp set up. Thats probably a reasonable conclusion.

Tudor clasp with folded links, i.e, 9315.

Tudor experts will certainly correct me.

Clasps were all Rolex at first (blades & clasp itself) then Rolex blades and Tudor shield clasps and, finally, all Tudor.

So it's period related and an evolution.

[TuRo]

76100 from 84, I think, was always a Tudor clasp but with Rolex blades for first couple of years then migrated to Tudor / Tudor.

Previous early version of models eg 7016/0 -7021/0 - 9411/0 Rolex/Rolex indeed.

Btw a slight myth to bust that early 76100 were ALWAYS filled in HR hand. My pal has an original owner 1984 b and papers that is mercedes hand from new and Tudor Collectors pal has one also.

The story behind it is interesting and unearthed as part of my PhD.

As part of the divorce from Rolex Tudor were asked to cease using Rolex crown, caseback and mercedes hand over time.

The former two were discontinued as we know.... but Tudor pointed out that the Mercedes symbol was a Hindu symbol (like swastika used by Finnish air force until recently), and even Mercedes themselves couldn't copyright it (they added laurels to fudge it) ....Let alone Rolex copyrighting it!!!

Rolex relented and Tudor reinstated it very quickly (esp as lack of surface tension in the circle warranty claim issues started from day one of the HR hand blob) !

PPS for newbies - it's often referred to a lollipop hand incorrectly - as who has a seen a lollipop with a stick coming out of the bottom and top ! The true lollipop hand is the early 50s subs with the full circle on end of the second hand.

9315
7836 isn’t right but maybe more affordable
6248-20 is the cheapest option but incorrect. I do like the feel the best w this one

In Tudor early 90s’ original user manual booklet, the 79090 is shown with so called “lollipop” hand too but the real one did not exist.

They did indeed sir ✓.

There were a couple of other errors in their booklets and catalogues in 70s and 80s too.

Those lollipop hands are cute, but the two I’ve had developed cracked lume in the hour hand. The appeal pretty much gets eliminated at that point. They are not the most stable design.

[Mark020]

Agreed. Mine had that as well. Well: after the mrs dropped it but still

[Tudor76100]

I’m pretty lucky as I’m a second owner and my lollipop hand are still clean. The lum is impossible to see unless I wake up in the night and my eyes are super adjusted to the dark. Then I can make out all the lum on the dial. I love this watch and have several bands for it often rotating between leather but was curious which bracket would complete it. My not really a collector as it’s my only Rolex family watch but I use it and enjoy it. Thanks for the responses!
