Jubile Recomendations (Where should I Look)
I'm looking at acquiring a GMT Master II 16710 in a couple of weeks.
It comes on a 78790 (Oysterlock), however I am considering getting a Jubilé 62510. Any recomendations where I should look, and what I should be prepared to pay for a bracelet in excellent condition? I am also considering getting a Super Jubile instead, would this fit the watch as well?

Hi, I have a pepsi too and I would like to have the option of changing to a jubilee bracelet in the future.
Question: Can I buy the super jubilee bracelet from RSC? Or an AD? |

For whatever reason a lot of used bracelets are priced like gold even though they are just SS.
I bought a new 62510 Jubilee for my 16750 earlier this year from RSC-Dallas. It was $595 (+ tax since I live in Texas).

I LOVE the super jubilee on my new DJ. I think Jubilee is much more comfortable than oyster (and comfort is my middle name hubby says). Even he agreed with me when I had him try on both versions at a local AD when I was looking for my own watch.

Thanks for your replies guys and gals. I found a Jubilee Bracelet today and should have it before I get my new to me GMT II.
The watch comes with a 78790 (Oysterlock), and a Coke insert. I am getting a Pepsi insert, and hopefully the Jubilee I ordered will fit nicely as well. I didn't and might not get a Black insert since I already have a GMTIIC. Mine will have Lug Holes. I can't wait.

You might want to verify that the bracelet is made for a GMT. The Jubilee for the GMT has a '50' stamped on the last link signifying that it takes the larger 2mm springbars and uses 550 end links. If it does not have a 50 on it that signifies that it is a Jubilee for a DJ and takes 1.8mm springbars.

Good catch. I have also run into this a few times. 1.8mm bars with 550 end links really stink, and doesnt feel secure to me. If you got a DJ jubilee my advice is to order or use the 2.0mm bars for your watch, and then have a jewler stretch the rings of the jubilee to fit 2.0mm bars. The end result will be good.

Stretched jubilee
Don't mean to hijack this thread but I have to ask about stretched jubilee bracelets.
I've read on several threads here that people have had the stretch on their jubilee bracelet, for lack of better words, "re-tightened." Does anyone know where one could send their jubilee bracelet to get worked on? Thanks! |
