Jubilee Options for 16710 GMT II with Lug Holes
I have an "A" series GMT Master II Ref. 16710 with the lug hole case. It has the 78790A Oyster bracelet and 801 solid end links. I would like to install a Jubilee bracelet. I know from reading here that there are a few combination's of bracelets and parts that will fit this case. From research I have done, the optional original jubilee bracelet is the 62510H, and the original end links for this case are 502B, with the 502B (T) being for the no-hole case. The other option I have seen here is the Super Jubilee bracelet. What part number bracelet, and end links do I need for this combination? I think a standard Jubilee bracelet will probably be more economical, and easier to source. Are there any other options that I have overlooked? Thanks.

I ordered the Super Jubilee for my GMTII with lug holes about a month ago. The only thing I needed to do was ensure that when the bracelet got there that they used the 1.8mm springbars instead of the normal GMT 2.00 mm springbars. no specific endlinks were used, probably because the bracelet only comes with one specific configuration and other options are not availible.

The new Super Jubilee only comes one way and that is to fit a 36mm Datejust so you will have a slight gap in the center of the SEL because the GMT is a 40mm case. Most who use this bracelet do not mind the slight mis-match, and, as has been mentioned, you must also use the Datejust 1.8mm springbars. The other option is the standard Jubilee (62510H) with the Datejust 555 endlinks. You will have the same slight case contour mismatch..
