Recently changed hands on my 1675 so they would fit the dial better (kept the original hands though). Got a new born love for the watch after the change and decided to play around with some different bracelets I have lying around. Would be interesting to see which one the community likes.
First off, the 78360:

Next one is an expandable rivet band:

Next up is a Mexico jubilee:

Last one is a 9315 band:

Rivet.

mattedialdoc · 3 March 2017, 11:00 PM

I'll play:

I love me some 78360!. I primarily wear a 78360 on my GMTs and Subs. I prefer the lower profile clasp over that of my 93150.
The stretch rivet is a pincher. I have a low volume of arm hair and it bothered me. Ouch!
I do love the 9315s also. Lower profile flip lock vs. 93150. Very cool.

Always been a sucker for a jubilee on a GMT. Maybe because I mostly wear Subs and the jubilee on a GMT is such a comfortable set up.
The 9315 looks great too

And there you have it. 3 different bracelets = 3 different answers. It's all preference. Keep them all to keep it fresh

I think the jubilee suits it perfectly..

cowboy music · 4 March 2017, 12:49 AM

I have a 93150 on mine, and I like the security of the flip lock. But I always think the Jubilees look great on GMTs.

Thanks for all your input! So excited to follow this!

Folded bracelet is perfect for this era of GMT and dive clasp is perfect for every day use.

You should source 280's for it. Youre using the 580's from the 78360 right? :)

Correct! Will consider 280's if I decide to go with the 9315. Will 280's be good for my 1680 as well?

Yes. They would be correct for both the sub and gmt. The gmt works ok with 258's as well as the case is thinner.

Thanks! Thinking about doing a poll for the 1680 also with different bracelets.

78360 for me... Looks more proper I guess. Sharp looking 1675.

I just got mine with the 78360 & love it & can say, it wears really the well on the wrist & you don't have to worry about a rivot breaking & loosing your watch.

Timeoutpz · 4 March 2017, 03:10 AM

Nice

springer · 4 March 2017, 05:40 AM

Nothing looks or accentuates a vintage GMT more than an oval-link Jubilee bracelet. I would go with the Mexican Jubilee. I'm more of a purist for original bracelets and am not a fan of a later solid-link Oyster bracelets (78360) on a vintage GMT unless it came that way during the late 1970s.

Motomike · 4 March 2017, 02:42 PM

Jubilee

milov · 4 March 2017, 03:24 PM

I'd choose the jubilee.

And it looks like at least one of those rivets are coming loose too!

Thanks. Will look in to that. Just had them changed at our AD so it would be really bad if any rivet falls out...

GTS Dean · 6 March 2017, 07:42 AM

Since you wear your watch over the wrist joint, I would definitely recommend the expandable riveted model. It will put less stress on the links and pins.
