1675 GMT Bracelet Question

[sfglenrock]

I have a '68 GMT and have been wearing it on the 7836 oyster bracelet with 580 endlinks shown in the first pic. To change it up a bit, I've recently picked up a 6251H jubilee with 55 endlinks. The problem I have is that the shoulder-less spring bars from the 7836 don't fit in the 6251. They just don't slide into the holes in the bracelet. Are they supposed to fit? Could there be an issue with the 6251 that I picked up? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Try and source some 502, 555 or 550 end links which will work with the 6251 Jubilee on A GMT. End links are readily available from authorized dealers.

Also, Tudorman may be able to help you with the correct set of end links. Search for him in the community tab at the top of the page.

Thanks for the reply. But the endlinks seem to fit the case fine. It's that the spring bars won't fit into the holes in the end of the bracelet. Here's a pic...

Order some 1.5mm springbars or ask the AD.

I do change from JB to Oyster and vice versa. The spring bars come in different diameters. You should get the thinner ones.

See here the different bars.



The same watch on JB.

Great! Thanks to everyone who responded. Didn't know they came in different sizes.

I have '67 GMT that I also swithched the 78360 oyster for a Jubilee. Could not fit my fat spring bars through some 555 ends that I had around. I put on a circa 1966 USA JB band. No tubes inside the ends and the fit was great.
