Here is my new Explorer II! This should hold me over for a while so I don't have to buy the new 2011 just released.

With the correct end links, it fits perfect.

When I read the title, I was ready to rant in between vomiting!

But I REALLY like it! Good Drills, my friend!

x2 All I could think of was what the hell is this guy doing? But the more I looked the more I liked it. A nice change-up.

Looks sharp! You happy, I happy.

SaddleSC · 30 March 2011, 03:20 AM

That looks fantastic! I have been thinking about buying an Exp II recently and having Jubilee as an option just makes it even more versatile. Well done

mtrunner · 30 March 2011, 03:21 AM

Looks good. It is amazing how much a jubilee band changes the look of a watch.

JJL · 30 March 2011, 04:10 AM

Looks awesome! I want to pick up a super jubilee!

Rollie2011 · 30 March 2011, 04:11 AM

I like it alot!

errol0_7 · 30 March 2011, 08:18 AM

Foxglove · 30 March 2011, 08:52 AM

Seen the combo before and always enjoy it! Well done.

Cheers,

i love the new Jubilee!!!

bighaole · 30 March 2011, 09:14 AM

I'm a fan of the regular bracelet, but I have to say, your combo does look sharp. Enjoy it.

Lol-x · 30 March 2011, 09:20 AM

So what is the setup you have used?
Please identify the endlink model number and bracelet model number?

Davidco · 30 March 2011, 09:43 AM

Looks good. Very nice.

aleiberman · 30 March 2011, 10:55 AM

I had help of others here who have already done this. This is also not a Super Jubilee Bracelet. But I wish!

I have small wrists and find the Jubilee to size smaller and be more comfortable overall.

The setup depends on what case you have. Mine is a Z Serial w/SEL, w/No Lug Holes Case.

The Jubilee bracelet is a standard DJ '62510 H', with old style flip lock clasp.

Since mine is a No Lug Holes case you'll need special 502T end links. These end links are notched to expose the shouldered SEL spring bars. The correct spring bars for the case are 2.0mm, and for a good fit you'll want to use those spring bars. However, not all Jubillee bracelet rings fit 2.0mm spring bars. I have found that some only accept 1.8mm. Therefore, you may have widen them to accept the larger and more secure spring bars. This wasn't the case for me, but I have had to do this with other Jubilee bracelets to fit securly with Rolex sports models.

The 502T end links I purchaed from my AD, and it cost me $80 for the pair. Well worth it IMO, it's a completly new watch now.

The only negative is the rattle, but that is expected, as I've sort of downgraded the watch to an older style braclet, and it's taking me a while to feel like the watch is still secure.

SWIMPRUF · 30 March 2011, 11:49 AM

Looks good

Tools · 30 March 2011, 12:09 PM

I've always thought that the Jublee should have been an option for the Explorer II just like the GMT since they share the same Oyster bracelets.....

Lol-x · 30 March 2011, 12:14 PM

Aaron thank you for the detailed information

Dan Pierce · 30 March 2011, 12:16 PM

Looks great! Should be an option on the EXP II.

Caraptor · 30 March 2011, 11:01 PM

Hey that works better than I would have thought.

Puffy · 30 March 2011, 11:06 PM

Try it with a Super Jubilee, it's super comfy

dalip · 30 March 2011, 11:11 PM

Looks good...

Cru Jones · 30 March 2011, 11:31 PM

looking at the picture again, it really has that classic rolex look to it. yes, i know, explorer ii's never came on jubilees, but, still, it looks "classic"/retro.....nice.

i'm trying to imagine the new one on a super jubilee and it's not working for me. calling the photoshop pros??

metaphysician · 31 March 2011, 12:08 AM

I wasn't sure I would like the combo but I do! Great job.

aleiberman · 31 March 2011, 05:03 AM

enjoy...

thrillainmanila · 8 August 2011, 01:56 PM
