Beautiful.

What model is it for ? I would like to get one for my 2003 GMT but Rolex have refused to supply it as it was not "native" to that model. How did you convince Rolex?

It's for my 16710 - T series so lug holes.

The first time I called them they could smell what I was up to so they told me to bugger off and stop tampering with my watch.

The second time I called I said it was a present for my Dad as he has a DJ - they dutifully obliged. However, they refused to sell me 1.8mm thick springbars (for lug hole case) so I had to order them separately. Orignal ones cost a small fortune.. HUGE mark-up!!

Let me know if you need any help...

Thanks Anders. Mine is a lug hole 16710 as well. When I am ready to buy I may contact you for support.

Any time David - happy to help

PS. you might want to strike now while it's "cheap" - it could go up another 20 quid very soon...

Might I ask you how much it cost Anders ? I understand it ain't cheap - somewhere in the £900.00 region ?

Congrats, Anders...........I can count 24 links so they're all there, buddy!!

A useful tip: If you need to resize for any reason, take off ONE link from the '12' side - NOT the '6' side............to get a perfect centralization of the crown on the underside of your wrist.

Thanks JJ! I love it!

Even my girlfriend doesn't mind it - but she reckons it makes the Exp II "look like a cheapo Seiko!!!!"

I would love to see the finished fitting and hope your "seiko" looks good with it!

As promised here are those high res shots of the 63200 (Rolex supplied the WRONG 2.0mm springbars so I can't fit it until Friday - the waiting continues!)

Even though I can't fit it I must admit it feels exceptionally sturdy and super smooth on the skin. No risk of getting any wrist hair caught whatsoever

It will be on my wrist by Friday midday GMT

Wow, I must say that looks amazing. Its a shame that is so pricey, I can't wait to see the pics on Friday!!

What's the difference between the regular and "Super" jubilee? Is it that the Super only has the crown showing on the outside of the clasp? Thanks.

That's a cool little toolkit you have there
Can you show a pic of the finished product, I would love to see how the endlinks mate up with the 40mm EXII case

Unfortunately, there is a small gap. The fit is not 100% perfect......I would say around 97% which is NOT really perfection in my opinion as far as Rolex goes.

This bracelet has been ONLY designed for the 36 mm DJs or TOGs.

Haven't tried it, but possibly with the same 97% results. The curvature of the SEL on the SJ bracelet has been designed mathematically to FIT perfectly on the curvature of the 36 mm cases - NOT the 40 mm ones.

So there's bound to be a tiny discrepancy!!

Agree with JJ - without actually fitting the 63200 I can already now tell there is +/- 1mm or so and the fit is 95-97%.

Not great, but this bracelet is sensational so I can live with the less than perfect fit.
