Super

Hi everyone,

Has any UK member bought a Super Jubilee Bracelet recently and fitted it to a GMT II 16710 (no lug hole model, please pardon my ignorance of model numbers).
I wondered how readily available it is, and, of course how much I should expect to pay? Also, were there any issues with fitting it?
Finally, are you happy with it ?!!

PS. Wouldn't it be nice if the New GMT Coke ceramic came with a new Super Dooper Jubilee!
There's a new GMT Coke ceramic ??

Don't know if it would fit the newer model but I do think that the older GMT's look fantastic on a Jubilee bracelet!

If any Rolex model does not come with that particular bracelet then Rolex would not change it out for you.So its doubtful if you could source one except perhaps from a third party who will normally charge way over Rolex retail prices.And seeing there has been no release of that coke insert from Rolex yet and its doubtful if when released it will have a jubilee option but bracelet should fit.

Yep, a super jubilee. It can be done, but as Peter has stated it will be hard to source and expensive.

yup....overall, it looks great. up close, one can see it isn't a perfect fit (lugs higher than endlinks), but, the person who made the change didn't mind.

It's really not hard to get one, and retail is around 1500.
