Hey guys I need a little help here. I'm looking for some ideas on a blue snowflake build from a old school MBW case. It has a Jubilee bracelet with a Tudor clasp on it currently. I love the oyster bracelet looks much better. But I don't know who has a correct quality bracelet? Or really even where to look...Also what kind of leather would you guys recommend?

93150 I think Yuki sells this bracelet (which is on mine) but with SD 285 endlinks...lemme look for the link...$50
This is Yuki's but not what I remember seeing..still looking

Found it.....Puretime

But those endlinks are for a SeaDweller...you need a set of
380B is ID as a Tudor endlink
285 is the same link only Rolex Seadweller 1665
580 is the vintage 5512/13, 1680 endlink
You can buy a set of 308B's from WSO cheap. Grind out the SB channel guides and use your 2mm spring bars and you GOOD GOOD GOOD.
FYI the 93150 is the Oyster used on vintage subs that has hollow endlinks and hollow midlinks. This became the 93250 SEL when Rolex began this feature...(2000 maybe)
Tudor bracelet model numbers cross referance with Rolex 100% sans the Prince Date (jubilee). I have a database on these cross referances. If you have a need, PM The Noob Messiah....go in peace my children

Thanks Rob! Searching the Puretime webpage now. The two links were the same to Yuki's LOL. But I just bought the WSO'd 380B! Now where's that dremmel....
Rob,
So the Yuki bracelet is worth it over the usual cartel one?
$68 now and seems fair but I was afraid it would still feel cheap.

Correct link to Puretime

If you buy, unless it's has changed, a Cartel 5512/12, 1680 as a baseline it will come with a 93150/555 combo Oyster bracelet.
I cannot confirm or deny that the Yuki bracelet is a Cartel or not.
I bought a 93150 from jsnowball81 months ago and as far as I can tell, it's that Puretime bracelet. It is on my Tudor Chronotime pre Tiger.
IMO Yuki's parts are always a bit more money than most but I like doing business with Yuki Watch personally.
I will tell you this, these 93150's are hard to find unless you grab one or the other of these and WSO has a wide variety of aftermarket endlinks to homage about any combo there is.
I have some good data saved on bracelet/endlink combos for various Rolex and Tudor models if interested.
I want one of these NDT dials dammit...

Just ordered both 380B enlinks and bracelet today thanks to you. And I recieved the Clarks insert today as well. It has a darker blue tone, almost purplish? So the darker color may match the dial fairly well, we'll see. If so I'll definatley need a more correct Ofrei/Borrel pearl. I WISH I could buy the one from Classic Watch!! I don't understand why there checkout seems so screwed up? But, I'll post clear pictures of the NDT dial when it arrives tomorrow night. So give me your honest opinion lol.
Ofrei Acrylic Pearl..he calls it a Dot, lumed Dot

1) 93150-- CHECK
2) 380 WSO's Endlinks-- CHECK
3) Ofrei "Dot"--Check
4) Blue Cartel Insert--On hand (Hoping it being a match)
5) Even picked up a White Lollipop second hand with gold hour and minute hands for another future build while I was at it.
Making the Credit Card sweat on Rob's command LOL!
Thanks also to Civic & Bonsey's help too!

Hell why not? I've been sitting on the sideline too long drooling, reading and studying. Its time to play ball! Next up Tudor Big Crown LOL.
Well I recieved the watch. And the NDT dial is spot on, just zero lume. But the watch is amazing. Just a few small tweaks and it will be SWEET! I'll try to post pictures so I can get some feedback and suggestions.
