GMTIIc Super Jubile Bracelet
Well after much debate and research, and pretty much soul searching I have decided to go ahead and save up to buy a SS GMTIIc. I have thought about this for a few months now and been debating if I really want to spend upwards of 6k on a watch, to me its way too much for a watch. I plan to buy from right here at TRF. I have seen some for sale for 5k or a little more. I will be buying sometime next year, gonna save up as much as I can.
One thing however is that I want to buy it with a Super Jubile bracelet. If I buy it from an AD will they change it for me? I am completely in love with the Super Jubile bracelet and the GMTIIc. I was debating on getting a DateJust blue face dial with roman numerals because it comes with the Super Jubile. So basically I was gonna give up the GMTIIc for a DateJust because of the bracelet. But I think its better to buy the GMTIIc and place a Super Jubile bracelet on it. What I like about the bracelet is the hidden clasp and the fact that you pull on the crown to open it, I find that extremely sexy. ANyone have a GMTIIc with a Super Jubile bracelet? Anyone witha Rolex with a SUper Jubile bracelet please post some pics of the bracelet and hidden clasp crown. I am eager to get this watch. |

Hi Hector,
While I can understand your eagerness in possessing the SJ bracelet, your AD will not swap it for the original Oysterlock bracelet (with Easy Link extension) that comes standard on the GMT-IIC. The SJ has been designed for a 36 mm case and the fit on the larger 40 mm GMT-IIC will NOT be 100% perfect. Due to the larger circumference of the GMT-IIC case, there will be a gap left between the SEL of the SJ and the case. Furthermore, the GMT comes with a 2 mm thick spring-bar. The SJ SEL has been designed ONLY for the 1.8 mm spring-bar which means you could be compromising the security of the watch with the thinner bar. The 2 mm spring-bar will NOT fit through the SEL of the SJ bracelet. JJ

Agree with all of JJ's points as I now have a Super Jubilee on my Exp II - not a perfect fit and I do wonder if it's safe to use the 1.8mm spring bars...
In any case it looks GREAT!

Anders, is there any way we can see a pic of the inside of the bracelet where it connects to the watch?

I love the look of the Super Jubilee (It looks great on Anders watch) - I used to have on on my DJ and it was a great bracelet. But with my 2003 GMT II I have decided to get the old style Jubilee because that bracelet is original to the watch and will be a perfect fit.

I think that's a smart choice, David.

I wasn't much of a fan of the Super on the Exp II so it is now on the GMT II where it belongs IMO it looks classier as the polised center links really complement the Coke insert and black dial. It also gives it the modern vintage look that everyone loves. Overall very happy with the Super and I am actually considering getting a second as these only go up in value and I will be adding a few more watches to the collection this year that might benefit from a Super...

Anders, Just to say, I think you made 100% the right choice....I agree that the oyster looks better on the Explorer II, and the jubilee on a coke GMT is a dream watch of mine! I look forward to seeing many pictures of yours to both inspire and torture me....LOL.... |

 Not great as I am a perfectionist but I am happy to let this one slip as it is ever so comfy and it gives the watch a modern vintage look
