116500 Panda change Jubilee bracelet HELP!

[Phuong Ton]

Hi RF members!

I would like to swap my 116500 Panda to Jubilee bracelet. I need to get more information such as with kind of Jubilee bracelet (63600 should fit, or any other options). I know there’s post somewhere, but I can’t find it. Please help!

Thank you!

You can use a super jubilee ref 63600 from a discontinued 36mm Datejust ref 116200/116234. You can use original Daytona springbars and no modifications needed. You can order it at Rolex if you have the Datejust on Oyster. Otherwise you need to check second hand market.

Thank you for your comment, karlenoe! Yours 116500 look so nice with Jubilee.
It has to be DJ 36 (63600)? I have DJ 41, I may able to order Jubilee bracelet in size 41.

I wish we had an option for something for our 126's

That looks great with the hidden clasp/jubilee bracelet combo

Polished case against the brushed endlink looks off...

The endlinks on the original oyster bracelet are brushed on the outside and polished on the center links. Exactly the same on the jubilee here.

Yep, however the PCL blends the bracelet with the case better than the Jubilee (at first glance)

The fit is not perfect but it’s still very good. The endlink and bracelet are held very securely. If you look very closely there is a small gap but not a big deal. I have been wearing my 116500 on super jubilee since 2019 and no issues at all.

Yes, it’s a perfect fit.

I just had a conversation with my watchmaker. He said that the bracelet and the watch not perfect fit, it moving, it may damage the number of the watch where between watch and bracelet.
Any update about it?

Absolutely love the look of this combo!
