Question on Tudor Sub (76100) bracelet

I just picked up a Tudor Sub 76100 and plan to put a Tudor Oyster 78500 bracelet on it.
The 78500 is identical to a Rolex 93150 with the exception of the logo on the clasp.

My question is what are my end piece options?

Also, the watch has a 76xxx serial #. I have searched this forum (serial # database thread) and the net and believe it dates to the mid 80's. Is this correct?

Thanks in advance and I will post pics when I receive the watch.

You need 380B end pieces. And mid 80's is correct.

Good luck, congrats, and post pics!

Blue or black?

Best,

Thanks A.

It's the blue variation.
I may be wrong, but I thought the 380B ends were meant for use with the folded type bracelets. Would a set of 580 ends work as well?

I do not know about the 580's, but there are two versions of the 380; the older 380 for the older folded bracelets, and the newer 380B that goes well with both the old style folded (7836 and 9315) and the newer heavy Oyster. I actually got my 79090 to check it out just now. The 76100 and the 79090 have the same case, and currently I have 380B:s on my 79090 and a heavy Oyster bracelet (93150), but it came with the folded 9315.

So 380B will do well. The fit is perfect. I hope I am not wrong about this! I've seen a few ads with 78500 bracelets coming with 380B end links.

Come to think about it the 76100, the 79090 and the Rolex 1680 share the same case, so 580s should be fine too, but I do not have them to try out...

Best,

A

I purchased a 78500 from RSC Dallas for my 76100, it came with 380B endlinks.

The original 9315, which I still have, has 380 endlinks. Both bracelets fit on 76100 and 79090 watches. The pristine 9315 is pretty much retired since I can't buy a new one. I usually wear a NATO on my 79090 now.
