Oyster 78360 / 78790A

The last of the hollow-end-link Oysters before Rolex went fully solid.

Years
1996–2000
End-links
501B / 580

The 78360 and its follow-on 78790A represent the transitional Oyster of the late 1990s: solid center links, folded outer links, and hollow end-links stamped with the reference-specific end-link code. Standard on late-production 16610 Submariners and 16700 GMTs, the 78360 remains a favorite among collectors who find the modern 97200 too heavy and want a bracelet that feels closer to vintage proportions.
