Super Jubilee vs. regular Jubilee Bracelet

I've been wondering about this myself actually.

I have the orginal, folded steel bracelet on my 1601 and I'm looking out for a 62510H, which my understanding has hollow links, yes?

So, in your opinion is my orginal folded steel heavier and possibly better balanced than a newer 62510H with screws? Basically, is my older, folded steel bracelet heavier than its more modern counterpart?

I'm buying online, so haven't had the luxury of holding one in my hand.

All in all about the same weight although I'd say the newer 62510 might be slightly heavier. Probably wouldn't feel the difference in weight as much as the tightness of the newer bracelet.

Never had a super jubilee, just curious I have become anti-jubilee because of the stretch. Do the solid links of the super eliminate the stretch problem of the jubilee style?

In reality stretch is when grime and grit from sweat wear away the pins and any points that rub against each other. Proper cleaning regimen and proper fit (not loose) will ensure decades of problem free use.

Wash the bracelet once a week and you will have no stretch, as dP said, it's dirt and grime that eats away the metal and creates strecth.

Nothing better than a jubilee, but buy the best one you can afford, BNIB is the way to go....

my solution: get ETUR's end links and put the datejust on a strap =)

Glad to hear I'm not the only one! My DJ wears off-center on my wrist too, and I've been wondering if when I had it sized whether they removed an extra link from the wrong side, if that makes sense... I may try to either add a link back to "high" side or consider a black alligator strap.

Will the super jubilee fit on a new SubC LV?

Point of clarification on the micro-adjustment:
- Jubilee has the micro adjustments built into the clasp, very nice
- Super Jubilee does not, what you have to do is buy a "1 1/4" link from the AD. It is 10 mm across, vs the standard 8 mm link. Easy to swap out with a screwdriver.

I love the heavy weight of the Super Jubilee, and the really comforable fit and feel, especially when flexing the wrist and the bracelet can conform to minor changes.

If you prefer the micro-adjustments for regular changes or the lighter weight, go with older Jubilee and save some cash while you're at.

If you prefer the heavier and more solid feel, and likely longer life span, plus the style points awarded to the hidden clasp that really differentiates from every other bracelet out there, go with the SJ.

Did Rolex ever make a SS 18k white gold jubilee or super jubilee?

Thx for the link, 'tho,,,

I posted this awhile back. Assuming you have a 16710 or a watch that fits the jubilee.

Fitment wise refer to below

1 - Jubilee meant for the 16710. You will need to source for end links like Ref 502T depending on whether your version has lug holes or not.

2 - Super Jubilee Ref 63200 or Ref 63600. You will need to get 1.8mm springbars to fit the super jubilee on.

Material and wearing wise

1 - Hollow and can stretch over time. Matte.

2 - Solid. Less likely to stretch. Quite bling.

Jubilee : 6251/9 (13mm) - 6311/9 (in 17/19/20mm)
Super Jubilee : no
Jubilee karat : 6411/9 (13/17mm) / 64139 (13mm) / 64169 (16mm)

Does the 502T exist in TT?
I would love a super jubilee on my 16713 Root Beer.

Just clarification,

on my 16713 I can use 402T end links with 63600 Jubilee?
Or is the 63600 SS only? What is the ref nr for TT Super jubilee?

You can't use any end links with a super jubilee 63600. It have SEL.
402T end links are to be used with 62523 TT jubilee on a 16713 (402T could work also with the SS version 62510, but it would be bad from an esthetical perspective).

The TT YG version of super jubilee is 63603 (or 63203), 63600 (or 63200) is SS only , as stated by the last "0" in the Ref#.

Super jubile have the hidden crownclasp, its the most visible difference. It also have SEL and solid links.

D serial in 2005/2006 we are in the transitional period from 162xx DJ to 1162xx new DJ. All versions were replaced at the end of 2006.
So if you have a 6 digits 1162xx you have super jubile, if it's a 5 digits 162xx it's a jubile.

Thanks for the info Alpino. I can't seem to find that bracelet with that reference # 6311/9

I found this website
http://www.interwatches.com/rolex-bands-history
Using the 6311/9 you provided and it shows a reference # of 6311/8, are these bracelets in 18k white gold/stainless steel rare? Also do you know if it's possible to add a hidden clasp from a super jubilee to a regular jubilee? Thanks in advance!

There are errors on this site:
6251/9 is described there as 17mm . It's a 13mm jubilee.
6311/9 is described 2 times as 20mm. It existed in 17mm , 19mm , 20mm.

These bracelets are rare because they accompanied PM watches. Expensive watches like this are not best sellers.

I don't think it's a good idea as the hidden clasp implies many more links.
Not certain also that solid links of a super jubile will goes live with hollow links from an esthetic perspective.

Got it, thanks a bunch for your help!

[fishinfool]

So is this legit then?







It's for sale here locally for $500, if it is legit is that a good price? Thanks in advance

[playmore009]

I must say that the super Jubilee looks absolutely awesome! Too bad it's not an option for the newer GMT IIc.

Does the super Jubilee fit any of the older sub?

I see no watch for which Rolex could have made this bracelet around 2008 (PJ11 is november 2008)

No WG 6 digits DateJust have never been in catalog , except on leather strap.

The model number is also missing from the clasp . It could have been 63209 if this model had existed , which isn't the case.

My guess is it's a fake.

[graphicsdump]

Are there particular end links that work with a Datejust from 1968? Right now I've got mine on a leather strap and I'm searching for a jubilee bracelet, so I want to make sure the one I get will work with my watch.

[Lpugliese]

I have had both, like the super so much more

5 years is long enough...

If you have a good question/discussion it will stand on it's own thread merits.
