Period correct bracelets for fat lady 1986 year 16760?
I am getting one with a 93150 bracelet should I be worried? Also, is there an official jubilee band I can swap back and forth with oyster? Thanks in advance

93150 did come on 16760 Loren's in the USA and other markets no doubt, as Springer and TTG (GMT aficionados) have proven on various US ink printed certificates that a few big US dealers/A.D's use.
What I would say is that in 40 years I've not seen one from a full set in UK - but that's not to say it's not happened in the past. From UK brochures/price lists the 16760 was offered with a 78360 or for circa £60 more a 52510h with, I think, usually the unusual 50 stamp on the last link and 502 or 502b end links. Can someone put me right if that's not 100% the case. Little fun fact in UK well over 90% 16750/16760 were sold on oyster bracelet from my academic research. This is because the jubilee really was seen as a dress bracelet at the time. It's only the introduction of the so-called batgirl 6-7 years ago that got Jubilees back in Vogue and why so many 60/70s 1675s are now marketed with them esp as 6251h bracelet is half price of a 7336 of course! (although in 60s the split was about 75% oyster/25% 6251 f/link Jubillee). Interesting to see that 16760s on C24 over 90% are oyster btw, so little retrofitting has occured yet compared to say 1675s :-) I particularly like a 52510h on a Loren. The slightly odd look of 93150 on a 16760 is the buckle length imho. This is something that Rolex worked on and reduced clasp length/size on early 2000, 16710/16570 with a flip lock which had a much shorter clasp.
