zero_deficit 0 Posted November 15, 2013 oh and fyi, the bracelet being sold on ebay is TSWatch themselves 'Vagenari' is their side business in making straps Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JaeRSr. 0 Posted November 15, 2013 ebay item (which is the same bracelet sold at vagenari.com) 316L SS Dont really know the difference between 316L and 316F http://www.ebay.com/...=item2a33f06e3a On the other hand, the bracelet offered at TS website does not specify what SS is used but I assume is the same material. Hello again, When you compare 316f to say 316L, you'll find the 316F to be more "white" or "brighter" in appearance. Here is where you can find more info: http://www.rwg.bz/board/index.php?showtopic=27807 Hope it helps Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JaeRSr. 0 Posted November 15, 2013 The AP bracelet was never a perfect fit all around. There is minor discrepancy between the cases/bracelets that causes this. The bracelet would fit the chrono or diver but in some cases not both equally. The fix is to drill the bracelet lug holes with a 1/16th bit. I did it with mine for my V3. Fits fine, looks fine. Exactly what I needed to know! Now I just need to see if this fix is relevant for fitting a Noob v3 bracelet to the non-Noob v5. At any rate, I'm off to Home Depot to grab a 1/16th bit for my dremel!

JaeRSr. 0 Posted November 15, 2013 Kindly post if fits as may in interested in acquiring one I would like to know if it fits to I'll let post here to let everyone know if the TS bracelet (v3 with AP logo) fits the v5. I'll also post if the bracelet doesn't fit, but the solution is to widen the lug holes. I placed the order two days ago now. Shouldn't be long now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Quite 100% sure it's a rep, probably the one Noob made for its ROO. If you look at all their other items for sale, they're all common rep parts that can be sourced from our TDs (rubber straps, AP buckle with the rep hole, Hublot bezels) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JaeRSr. 0 Posted November 17, 2013 TS is out of stock? I just paid for one Wednesday. I spoke to Christina late last night. She told me the v5 watch and v3 bracelet with AP logo would be shipped this coming week after she sends QC photos. Definitely concerned now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dr. Jimmy 29 Posted November 18, 2013 Yep. 1/16th drill bit. Works perfectly. There's tutorials on it somewhere. RWI I think. Gave mine to my watchsmith today, he's going to sort it out for me. I thought of doing it myself, but would rather be safe than sorry. Will let you all know how it goes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JaeRSr. 0 Posted November 22, 2013 Very useful information about fitting a bracelet to the newer version divers! Apparently, there is a problem fitting the ss bracelet to the Diver v4.1. A member on RG tried to fit his bracelet to both a v4.1 and a v5 diver. Results? V4.1 didn't work, v5 worked with the lug hole widening mod.
