Solid end links


Many thanks bro, because am looking to purchase a 16710 U series coke.

Am not sure whether it comes with SEL or non SEL.

Will there be any major impact or differences?

Solid end links fit a little more rigidly to the case and don't move. Hollow end links have a tiny bit of play so you might notice a little movement as it relates to its position against the case.

U Series is circa 1997/98. SELs appeared from 2000 onwards.

So does it means non SEL bracelet will stretch easier?

There is no such thing as stretch in any bracelet, what it is in the real world is just wear this is what happens if bracelet is not kept clean..The dirt sweat from wearing gets around the pin holes with friction causing the holes to elongate the links.Its makes no difference whether SEL or non SEL the secret is just keeping them clean with regular washing in soap and water.The solid end link watches there cases have a slot cut into the case ring which the SEL fits so very little friction movement and a better fit to the case but bracelet links are the same in SEL or non SEL.
