Jubilee Bracelet on a Freccione

Chaps

My Freccione is in the AD being re timed and I will then polish out the scratch with Polywatch that I inflicted on it when walking down into a cave.

I feel (purely a subjective opinion) that the watch would look better on a Jubilee bracelet.

Does anyone know if this can be done and if so, what are the serial numbers and do I need end pieces and can you still buy them ?

I would keep the Oyster tucked away in order to retain the originality.

Regards

Mick

I've only seen 1 picture of a 1655 on a jubilee. It looked amazing.

Not sure on any end link #s unfortunately.

Hi

There are plenty of pictures on the net of Frecciones on a Jubilee but no actual information.

Hence I am hoping some clever and well educated chap will provide the information.

Regards

Look for a 62510H jubilee stamped 50 on the ends coupled with 550 endlinks.

Matt is correct. You need the same configuration as a 1675 GMT. Parts from Rolex are still readily available

Mick, why the re-timing (regulation?) ? Wasn't it just serviced very recently?

Hi Adam

Yes I took it into my AD, who in all fairness has an excellent reputation, for a service and his advice was to leave the exterior and dial well alone.

He had it for 5 weeks and a day later I flew out to Spain for 5 weeks. I wore it and even managed to scratch it down a cave but it always gained 70 seconds each week.

Therefore it back is in to be re regulated.

I had a Sub serviced by them and it only gains 12 seconds over 7 days.

I must admit the Jubilee will make a pleasant change from the Daytona.

Regards

Mick

I will take a wrist shot when I get it back and the plexi is polished up.
