But don’t I need to hurry up and buy it before the next lucky guy gets it? 😉

Impulse/snap-decision buying is a critical error in our hobby, unless you’re intimately familiar with the reference and model.

Great point. Good lord I've been guilty of this way more than once. 🤔 This is a super timely post as I was trying to do some scramble research for an impulse buy. Thanks for your sage advice.

Funny that you replied with FOMO - check the OP's custom avatar message. 😉 😜

I wanted to say something snarky that implied I had read it before-hand and wrote my message because of it... But, I didn't, and that is quite a coincidence.. and funny 😜

The 93153 Fliplock bracelet with 493 end links was sold with the two-tone Rolex Submariner 16803 (1984 - 1988).
It looks like the bracelet is completely made of stainless steel. I've only seen two-tone bracelets with a two-tone Rolex Submariner yet.

But, that bracelet doesn't look 2-tone to me, it's all stainless.

Yeap... I guess it's fake. LOL

Hello all

i have read the OP 3x and am still not sure what is going on.

The bracelet is fake, i get that
