Yep, I still have it, had it in my hands today actually. I can't remember what was done to it but I do recall you saying it had been modded.

Hello guys ! I’m actually working in a TC V6 16613 Bluesy project ! Everything goes well EXCEPTED one thing : the bracelet !
Do you have any idea or advice on which brand of 93253 (SEL) bracelet I should go with? Actually I have a BP two tone with SEL but it’s a bit loose between the lugs, SEL isn’t very good. I have ordered one from WSO (ewatchparts) but the same, SEL isn’t good ! Not a lot of brand actually do the 16613 rep. I’m starting to think about drill holes on the TC case to use the 93153 with lug holes so I will be easier to a just the endlink.
What do you think about guys ?
Best solution would be a 93253 SEL bracelet and if no solution why not moving to the 93153 model …
Thanks

The TC should be gen spec the BP is not, although I think I did read somewhere about a micro difference in the lug width, don't quote me on that, it is times like this I wish @occb2 was still alive. @watchservicesny might possibly know if anyone does. WSO should be gen spec but inferior to Startime in my humble opinion. Mine has an 93153 18k Startime not SEL. I do not know if Startime do a 93253. You could try @markiemark to see if there is an Italian bracket option however I would imagine they would be 93153 as well if they were available.
On mine lug width isn’t the problem, problem is that the endlink isn’t close enough to the case to get something stable
. I will check on Startime if I find something, WSO should be Gen spec but for example, I have ordered a SEL two tone bracelet, I have received springbars with it like 1.5mm x 20mm (absolutely loose). I have tried some 1.8mm … better but not perfect still loose, and 2.0mm I can put it in the hole but probably never get it out
… so I’m a bit disappointed with WSO at this point, size aren’t respected.So I decided to drill with a 2.0mm drill … actually a part of the drill is stuck inside the SEL hole
(glad the bracelet was around 40$). Italian bracelet are only Stainless steel and not two tone I think but I will contact @markiemark maybe he got something in stock.
Thanks for the different leads !
