It was perhaps this lousy "BUGGER" that caused the worn off lugs ends of Orchi's 1680??

Err...or Perhaps...there may be another root cause to the problem...
which Orchi could try to elaborate later on as Orchi goes along...in here...

But anyway...here's the 93150/580 EL Oyster bracelet assembly that...
came with the 1680 watch package...

Orchi hopes these pictures would illustrate...
that almost every parts of the once Heavy Oyster bracelet assembly...
would not be suitable for further use with Orchi's 1680 watch...
NOT unless...
Orchi deliberately allows the worn out bracelet assembly...
to be re-used knowing full well that it would wear out...
the case lugs MORE...with the intended frequent wear of the watch in mind.


Here are the irreplaceable oyster links...having worn off links n what not...
(the links have been polished out to rid of superficial scratches n dings...)

Here are the replaceable but worn out End Links...
obviously neglected over long period of time...

Here are the replaceable oyster links...having been worn out from continuous...neglects too.

There here are the 1st links that would cause abrasion thus worn off lugs ends...of watch cases.
(re-polished to rid off imperfection...)

So Buddies...normally would you leave worn out wheels or tires on your vehicles...n continue to drive it to work or places...
or would you have the worn out wheels or tires replaced...when needed?

How come Rolex watch wearers in particular would allow their valuable watch...
(well the Rolex aint cheap right?)...to be worn on wrist frequently...
with worn out bracelet...?

How come if one considers the Rolex replacement to be costly...
why have they NOT consider to wear the Rolex with Straps...
instead of having to wear the watch with worn out bracelet...
that would surely wear off the lug ends of their Rolex watch case lugs...?

Many Rolex wearers even had to pay more eventually to have RSC replace...
NOT only the costly bracelets...
but the costly watch cases too perhaps due to corrosion or worn out lugs...
in cases worst than this...

So buddies...please remember...
that most of these vital parts on your Rolex bracelets n watches...
are replaceable...

They should be replaced as n when required...
like the worn out wheels or tires of your cars n bikes...

IF you so happen been offered a watch with worn out bracelet...
just refuse it...n ask the Seller politely...
for a new replacement to lump it in the watch...deal.

Or use the straps...instead...
as they are much much cheaper to replace...eventually...
n you can explorer the fun of having different colours or types of straps...
being fitted n worn on the same watch...Super Cool thing to do!! Yes?

By accepting the worn out bracelet...
you might be condoning to the Seller's
bad habit of pushing...swapping...
n passing on...USELESS parts...around.

After all...IF you can't afford to have the worn out wheels n tires...changed...
Use the cheaper alternative of public transport...
Don't own a car...or err...alas...the Rolex watch...

Worn out Spring Bars...End Links n Screws...
would cause the rest of the Oyster links to wear off...
more quicker than they should.

Preserve your bracelet...n it would save your Rolex watch...

Look...would you wear your precious Vintage Rolex watches...
or put on the DRSD...or Daytona...with a worn out Rolex bracelet...
yet call it as...cool?

Don't end up losing your watch...

Thanks for listening to Orchi's rants again...
Oh btw...yesterday Orchi had the notion of planning to sell
the worn out 93150/580 bracelet for whatever amount of money...
that Orchi could get from the VRM...
err...to possibly fund for a replacement of new bracelet...
or suitable one...

After this...Orchi regrets having that thought...
SHAME on Orchi...

Now Orchi knows exactly what to do with the USELESS worn out bracelet...
that had probably caused the lugs ends of Orchi's 1680 to wear out...

File it under...G...!!!
