Hi guys,
Trying to find info regarding which is the proper bracelet for this model. I think 78360 (all brushed) but not sure. So expert opinions are welcomed.
Thx

The 78360 with a non-flip lock clasp was used on the original 16520 until the '90's (brushed), then they got their own PCL 78390 bracelet, and finally the 78390 got a flip-lock. At the end of the 90's (A and P serials) they introduced the 78390A SEL. If your watch has the machined lip on the back of the case, it can also take the SEL bracelet.

Don't get too wrapped up in "proper". Service replacements and later iterations are all proper..

If it is already not original, unless you are undertaking a necessary restoration, you are doing yourself and the watch a favor by getting the latest and best condition bracelet that you can afford for the model.
