16600 Sea-Dweller 93160 Bracelet Question

I just picked up an awesome 1991 X serial SD and love it and the fit is great, however, it is missing the notched link for dive extension. I need part C from this image. I am curious if anyone knows if Rolex still sells these or has one? I know the later years used a more J style and I don't know if those are also compatible. Any ideas or help would be appreciated.

Your catalogue images show the 93160A bracelet with solid end links and later style extension parts.

This was not fitted to watches as early as yours.

My 1993 has solid end links. I think the Sea Dwellers got them long before other models like the submariner. Maybe as early as the 1970s?

I think you’re right on the ELs from when the 93160 was introduced; sorry, brain-fart !

Correct the SD has always had a SEL ever since introduction.

Good to know Peter.

I had one (my first Rolex) back in 92 or so. I sure wish I hadn’t have sold it on.

These 16600's are great value. You get a lot for the money and while larger than a 16610 its a similar wear to a maxi case sub.

True for the five digit SD. Prior to this it was the non SEL for the four digit SD as far as I know.
