[MENTION=17786]Hugop[/MENTION] lovely! i managed to get the rare solid gold mid-links from mbw while i was in thailand... its the one you see in my picture... makes a huge difference to those wonky bp bracelets....

 

[Hugop]

Yes it makes a huge difference! Mine are the solid 18k as well. Then I topped it off last year with this little beauty from 1989...[emoji6]

Gorgeous my friend :drool: love that clasp! The 16613's bracelets are imho one of the more comfortable bracelets as opposed to the traditional 16610. The extra gold heft makes a huge difference when wearing daily.

Thank you R, now I have to find a pair of 401b endlinks that are not priced in the ozone!

Yes those are very very hard to come by... I'm lucky that my end links fit the watch well - no visible gaps from what I can see. My previous BP blue 16613 was really crap - the whole SEL could literally come off vertically and the gap was wide icard2:
