1st vintage addition: 16750
Hello everyone, my first vintage added to my rotation, loving the patina!
Came with a 62510 jubilee with 555 end links. I am looking for an oyster bracelet with correct end links, I believe Im looking for a 78360 oyster with which end links? spring bars? have to use different spring bars than the jubilee bars? thanks for your help

Nice GMT!
Yes, you will be looking for either a 95150 or 78360 oyster, both will use 580 endlinks. I'm not sure what spring bars you are using now as the proper endlinks for a jubilee with this GMT are 550. You will want 2mm spring bars, common to most sport models. |

It's hard to tell from the pic but they look like they are. If in doubt, always buy a new set. Any AD will have them, or many here will be able to send you a set. They should only cost around $10

The correct Jubileee would have 50 stamped on the last link and 550 on the end links. The other option is the 78360 with 580 end links or the 501 end links which also fit the case. If you are going for a period correct bracelet, whether the 62510 or the 78360, your clasp code should be F (1981) G (1982) or H (1983) depending on your serial number. Your current bracelet is for a Datejust and a few other non-sport models. Some 16750s can also be found with the 93150 bracelet, which were probably added/changed by dealers when the watch was new.
Looks like MMorgan strikes again! Enjoy, they are my favorites.
