TC 16610 - best bracelet option?

[Sox2010]

Hi guys, I do have a TC v6 ,
i love it despite two things
first, missing engravings - I put up a thread about that
second I feel that the SELs of the bracelet look a bit strange....
any good idea how to solve / mod that or a matching 1:1 bracelet I can buy for it?
any hint very very welcome.
thanks in advance

The best (IMO) aftermarket bracelet you can easliy get for a 16610 sub is made by Ginault:

Not cheap, but it should fit well. Whether it will fit better than the one you have now, I dont know, but i have seen it on Seiko SARB035 and on other subs and it looks pretty good.

Thanks for that hint but I would miss the Rolex clasp

No worries. You could transfer the one you have on yours now to the new bracelet. You will however pass up the glide lock clasp.

Might I get a rep glide lock to fit it?

I have a Glidelock on my BPSD and it’s what makes The whole watch just feel like a million bucks.

Hey, what is the setup on your bracelet I wonder? I have a BP SD and the bracelet is nice but the clasp is killing me! Sharp edges and low quality feeling

How about the ARF 16610 bracelet?

I read somewhere the arf bracelet is very good. Someone even sold his gen bracelet for his arf Franken because he liked the arf so much.

ARF 16610 is poor, the SEL pins snap, the clasp is too thin/light/sharp/cheap feeling, there are ridiculous chamfers on the sides of the links and the stamp on the clasp is offset to the right.

ARF bracelet is marginally better than the previous JF. Some have off centered coronet, like some JF has. It is still the best option for a 93250. It feels cheaper than a 6 digit bracelet but like the gen does.

A 97200 should fit and it is a way better bracelet. Arf or VSF are very good rep of it.

I appreciate it may be the current best option but it's not great. The pins snapping and it falling off your wrist is no use though (this happened to me). Maybe the best option for a 5 digit today is a nato if all we have is ARF E06..
