16610 full link

I understand 16610 full link in original companion has 13 links + 0.5 link.

Can shed some light whether 16610 in photo is considered as full link? Pardon me for not knowing how to count.

Is the thin metal piece link there consider normal and comes in original state?
Many thanks and have a good day

Watch in photo is fully linked. The thin metal piece is the divers extension and is in the open position. That is there so the watch can be worn over a wetsuit and comes on all 16610’s.

Looks like you’re 2 links short here.

Not really..... it depends on the bracelet, not the watch.

You show a 93250 bracelet which has an additional J-link to snap into the clasp, and the tiny half link attached to the clasp due to the slightly larger clasp size. This one looks correct.

If the Sub Date came on a 93150 then it would have fewer links and no half link.

My understanding is the 16610 has 12 links. You would have 2 removeable links on the 6 o'clock side (you currently have 1) and 3 on the 12 side (you have 3).

My understanding is..

14060M 12 links (93150)
16610 12 links (93150/93250)
16613 12 links (93153/93253)
116610 13.5 links (97200)
116613 13 links (no half link) (97203)

..we don't count the diver links, only the removeable links up towards the endlinks (not counting the end links).

When I bought a new 5 digit Sub, we removed 2 links to fit me. When I bought a 116610, we removed 3 links to fit me. Both were worn with 6/4 (6 at 12, 4 at 6) with the glidelock in taking up the 0.5 link slack.

Thanks master. Can I get your confirmation this 93250 bracelet is indeed a full link?
