Oyster bracelet buckle size

[samlau]

Greetings everyone, I am new to this forum.

I have a preowned 15210 with the 78350/19mm bracelet. My question is does the 19mm oyster bracelet come in differerent widths, especially near the buckle? Mine surely looks slimer than my friends' Air King. The buckle look smaller also. I hope my bracelet is not fake or his is?

Thanks for your input!

Welcome to TRF!

No, the buckle comes in one width only.

Please post a pic of the bracelet. Could be one of the Italian made aftermarket bracelets, but if it has the correct stamp markings and numbers, it should be the real thing. A pic will tell.

Here is MY suggestion how to post pics here:

1) Go to www.photobucket.com and create an account (it's FREE!)
2) Upload the pic to photobucket from your PC
3) When it's uploaded, copy the IMG code (BOTTOM bar under the photo in photobucket - there are four bars, but you'd wanna use the LAST bar - see my arrow on the Print Screen underneath). You copy the IMG code by simply clicking on the bar:



4) You then note that photobucket tells you "copied".
5) Then go to rolexforums and start your post.
6) In your post, press the "Add picture" button and a prompt pops up with http://. Delete that http:// and press CTRL + V (now that address of the photo - the "IMG tag" - is inserted in the prompt you got.
7) Then DELETE the last and first [IMG] to get rid of "IMG" standing before and after your photo when you post it. (not important, but just looks better).

Or you can skip # 6 & 7 and just rightclick in your post and choose "paste"...........BINGO your photo will be there as soon as you press Submit reply.

IMPORTANT: DO NOT DELETE THE PICTURE FROM PHOTOBUCKET (OR ANY SERVER YOU USE) SINCE DELETING IT THERE WOULD ALSO DELETE IT HERE ON TRF! (RED CROSS INSTEAD OF PIC).

That's it!

Thanks Spacedweller, will post pics later. One question for the time being, does the bracelet have a consistent 19mm width from the lugs to the buckle or it slims down as it goes towards the buckle? Mine is only about 17mm +/1 at the buckle.

It tapers down towards the clasp.
