They have a gold-plated SEL bracelet but not a solid 18k one that I've seen.

Excusez-moi, it's not WSO. It's this seller: http://www.ebay.com/itm/MENS-18K-SS...b4e183d&pid=100005&rk=2&rkt=6&sd=171070677829

As I said, I have no idea if the SELs are plated or gold too. Looks like SEL is one piece which would indicate for it being SS but again, I don't know about regular stock.

Oh nice find! I'll definitely check that out. It might be worth the extra $200 if the gold is nice.

Just confirmed that the SELs are all gold as well. I think I'll go with that bracelet because I love the SEL look and it's period correct

Thanks for finding that!

Get the sure way first though and request some pics showing this. Especially you can see it on the sides of the SEL. I personally would do that to ensure myself on it. Can't be too sure as plated standard SELs would look shit and you'd have to find a WM9 bracelet to mingle the SELs.

Very true. I'll ask for some detailed pics

And believe me, removing SELs is a pain, you do not wish your biggest enemy to experience.

I am currently sitting in the ATL airport and looking at that eBay link on my phone. Even though the screen is small and I'm half asleep, are those SELs? I see the shouldered pin and notch in the bottom, but they don't look solid. Or am I all wet??

So this is the only pic of the SEL the seller has. He guarantees it's solid gold but it doesn't look like the 93253 SEL. He accepts returns so I might pull the trigger on one when my 16613 is done.

Yeah, they are SEL shaped but hollow from what I can see. Although you are all wet.

Correct. Really doesn't look like solid gold to me either. I wouldn't do it but it's up to you mate.

I guess the SELs are like the ones on the 78768.

The 78768 is a 16628 bracelet. Therefor not a TT bracelet. The pictured bracelet is fake mate.

WM9 is a maker.... Watchmaker9 however I think I have read that the main person died some years ago.... Please someone correct me if I'm wrong!

As long as the wet-ness is induced by loads of alcohol on a Saturday night somewhere on the Vegas strip, I am happy camper!!

No rumors, he DID die.

i want to do a build containing majority GEN parts... i currently have a TC Sub 16610 and want to convert this into a 16613 keeping the case, movement and crystal and then sourcing either GEN, WM9 or ST parts for the rest.

Could this work? any issues that i may face or need to be aware of?

Surely it could work. Just need to get TCs gold hands. Other than that you're all good. Just gotta check what you want to be WM9 since that'll be hard to find.
