KJ2020 Thank you for this amazing write up. I just wanted to ask you. I got this watch but the bracelet is not up to the mark. Is there any place I can get a better heavier one? If so places could you please tel me where and what exactly am I looking for? In Terms of size etc

Jubilee or oyster?

Both options? I’m leaning towards oyster. Or maybe rivet or folded as well!

I asked because if you have a jubilee even a gen 5 digit jubilee is pretty light. So getting a "heavier" bracelet will mean changing it to a 6 digit one. Even the gen 5 digit oysters have hollow links so heavy wasn't a goal back then. There are some better quality 5 digit bracelets but doubtful they'll be any heavier.

Here's two 5 digit watches with 6 digit bracelets

These look terrific on the new 6-digit jubilees. Which factory are yours from?

okay.. so thank you so much. At the end of the day I’m not going for heavy, Tbh this BP clasp was very stiff and tacky in terms of its feel. I was wondering if you had any suggestions for 5 digit bracelets that are superior in quality and feel. And I have the oyster on the watch currently. From BPF

KJ2020 Waiting on your reply :)

I put a Yuki bracelet on mine but he is still shut down AFAIK. JF Sub bracelets are pretty good and popular though some have had issues with SEL connection to adjoining link (rare). TDs list these under Rolex accessories. The 4 stamped link clasp on the JF Sub bracelet was found in many gen 167xx's, mine came with one - 93150 bracelet and clasp.

Can you tell me where I bought Batman Insert Pepsi Insert Batman Hands?

Ebay mostly bro, but also Rafflestime, Yukiwatch, Tiger Concepts, etc. You just have to hunt around.

So after I got my Coke a while back I felt I had to get a Pepsi too. Been watching out for one to show up at Nemboscorner and wham there it is!
wow what a great rep. The smaller case of the 5 number case us just so much easier to fit under shirt cuffs. It goes with everything from shorts to suits. Love it!
