Yes, I have been away from TRF for two years.
I’m back with a gmt question.

Will a fatlady bracelet 78790A fit correctly on my gmt 16750 ...?
I have a submariner 93150 bracelet on the gmt now, and I am planning a bracelet trade. Has anyone tried this ?

Thanks, good to back

I don’t see why not as long as the end links fit. 501 end links for 16760 n 580 for 16750. They r of different thickness.

Btw, 593 would also fit the thicker case.

I blame it on autoconnect.

Tudor66 · 24 October 2018, 08:18 AM

Thanks, the Fatlady bracelet in question here has solid end links.

So my challenge is this, do I want to upgrade to a newer bracelet on a 1980 vintage gmt watch. I’ll give it try this week, if it fits I may do the trade. The submariner clasp with the diver extension isn’t really needed when I sit in meetings all week...

I see. Then I think it might not fit since 501 & 580 have different hole positions.

I know it fits the 16710

Good to hear Mike. I was concerned about the fatter case...

lee fowler · 24 October 2018, 08:01 AM

I don’t think that bracelet was ever fitted on a 16760 but it might fit, what you really need is a 78360 for the 16750.

Thanks Lee, yes if time permits maybe I’ll seek out the correct model for this model...

I would also concur with Lee. I would find a nice 78360 bracelet with 580 end links. You could sell your 93150 bracelet which is in the same price range as a 78360 Oyster.

The 78790A is not a "Fat Lady" bracelet. The 78790A is the SEL version of the earlier 78790 and was fitted to later 16710's and 16570's.

The GMT 16750 was not fitted with an SEL and may not have the machined case to fit one, so, no - no SEL will fit your GMT unless it has the back side machined to fit one.

On machined cases the 78790/78790A/and 93150 will all fit.

Tudor66 · 24 October 2018, 12:01 PM

Thanks again gents. Perhaps my scheme to fit the wrong bracelet on my GMT should stop now. I am getting a new crystal installed on that watch... That would be a better and less costly improvement...

It sounds like your mistake might be in using the wrong reference number. The Fat Lady is a 16760, not a 16750.

The 78790A SEL bracelet will fit a 16760 case using the original 16760 springbars. If you have a 16760 GMT II and not a 16750 GMT then the bracelet you want will work for you.

Tudor66 · 25 October 2018, 12:02 AM

Yes understood. Thanks

Maybe you should trade with someone who happens to have an incorrect 78360 on his 5513.

Tudor66 · 25 October 2018, 12:03 AM

Yes, that’s probably the right idea.

welcome back Al

Tudor66 · 25 October 2018, 01:59 AM

Hey thanks David. I’ve been so busy with other things that required all of my time.
Yet here I am this morning waiting for the watchmaker to open his doors to try out the bracelet and get a new Rolex crystal for the gmt master - so I must truly be a WIS, and a TRF fan...

What I have missed for the last 24 months...?

Not much! Snowflake n 1675 just tripled in prices in those 2 years, n still going up. Oh BTW more experts now on TRF.

I blame it on autoconnect.

Don't worry, I still make dozens of mistakes daily. Expert status is a ways off.
