93150 Flip-Lock Bracelet

[spoilsofwar01]

Just thinking out aloud, I for some time been doubting my decision to buy a preowned 1987 worn 93150 Flip-Lock Bracelet (£385) for my 5513, the links needed £500 of laser work to save it.......... Ive just come off of E-bay and wow!!! almost £2k for one that was in worse shape then mine was, the clasp's alone are going for around £400, not mention that I sold the end links for £120 (that were the wrong size for my 5513) I'm kind of feeling better about things...... I really have to stop being so hard on my self,

Not surprised on prices. Older production parts are harder to come by outside of Rolex network. Even Bas advised me to service older watch sooner rather than later when I asked him.

If it's shot, it's shot. Can you send it into an RSC and trade it in for a new one? Think someone here did this recently for a reasonable price. Good luck.

I recently bought a new one through the RSC for my 16610 for $1,250 USD new. Better option than used.

Good luck

I did consider the same for awhile,.......... the Bracelet currently on my 1968 5513 is from the 70's and is incorrect for the submariner, the 93150 is the compromise and I was hoping for one that would be a closer date in good condition, when I do the maths it will work out cheaper doing things my way and I will sell on the 70's bracelet and end links as it will be no longer required and it will off set against the money that I've paid out.
