current 93250 options?

[napoleon1992]

Gents,

I have franken TC where the bracelet (also TC) needs replacing. I would transfer the clasp as it’s still fine. The case is an early TC one and to me lug width seems the same as my gen. I saw that some cases have wider lugs than gen.

Now, as I see it I could either get an ARF (the E06 one) or a Ginault (where I would have to brush the polished flanks). From other posts I see that some members have concerns with the ARF‘s build quality with pins not properly fixed. On the Ginault the mid-links are not hollow as gen but build quality seems undisputed.

In summary, both have their downsides. Looking for inputs to help my decision or also other options you would consider.

Thanks

@markiemark advertised on the telegram group for italian bracelets that he is now able to get both 93250 and 78790A (solid SELs)

i think that is your best choice or ARF (but arf have no stamp near endlinks)

Here are some quick pics of the 93250 and 78790A

thanks! @markiemark, the clasp seems to have the construction of the 93150, both on the diver extension and on the opening side. will this be addressed?

I believe this is what the OP is referring to, Mark.



This “partition” of the clasp link is 93150 style.

Trusty time sells the ARF 93250 by itself. Looks pretty good.

Thanks. I just noticed it also has the 93150 diver extension as well... I will return it to my supplier.
So its basically a 93150 with SEL and stamped 93250

78790A looks good though..

@napoleon1992
The ARF and JF 93250 bracelet fits perfect on a TC midcase.

I did this in the past on my TC 16610LV and worked very good.
So you can use for the TC a JF or ARF 93250 as mentioned by @Dizzy

On my also early TC "V2" 16610LV it worked with both (JF & ARF) and on my TC "V5" 16610LN too.
