The watchmaker did not have "T" end links for the old school bracelet... But I missed your 502 distinction...

I could try again, or have him order the end pieces... but thinking now that I don't need to spend the $700. My Oyster works (and looks) fine & dandy.

Rolex MUST give us the choice between both of them, Oyster or Jubilee for GMT IIc

Hi quick question. I have both the TT GMT master (with holes) and the TT GMT master IIc (no holes). I am thinking of getting bracelet 62510 H18 with end link 455B. I know this will fit the TT GMT master with holes. What are the end links I need to fit the TT GMT master IIC? Thanks

Since the GMT-IIC has no lug-holes, you would need the 502T end links.

That's a great look of the GMTIIC on a Super Jubilee

I think this look for the Supercase GMT is incorrect imho; the flanking surface area of the outside 'jubees' is disproportional to the 'flatness' of the lugs, where the 'pre-c' GMT can get away with the look of the super-jubee, the Supercased one doesnt...



Another bothersome detail is the casing does not meet the superjubee flush like its older strap vn. But this pertains only to the Supercase GMT...

It looks good!

No doubt about that, but the thick lugs demands end pieces that goes all the way to the edge of the lugs, just like the links on the Daytona. My hopes are that Rolex will start producing slightly larger end links with a perfect fit for the GMTIIC, the Explorer II, and the Daytona. I expect to see a Jubilee for the DJII, and perhaps those will have more massive end links.

I would also like to see a jubilee bracelet with a flip lock clasp (like on the Tudor version), and perhaps an extension. That would make the Jubilee a true alternative for the professional line. I'd get one of those immediately.

Best,

A

Has anybody seen the new all-matte oyster style bracelet on the Oyster Perpetual No-Date 36mm?? It's basically the same oyster bracelet seen on the DJ except the PCL. Wondering how this bracelet fits onto the 16710 generation GMT II's? More importantly, the look?

I'm intend to buy a new GMT BLNR to wear in rotation with my SUBc.
Have seen a lot of pic's overhere showing BLNR's on jubilee straps which i really like.
For this jubilee there are two options, the"old" style jubilee with normal clasp and hollow links or the "new" superjubilee with hidden clasp and solid links.

Which is the best choice?

Consensus from my reading of many posts on this subject is that the 62510 "old style" braclet with proper 502T endlinks will have the best fit to the watch as they are made to match the 40mm case. The super jubilee is made for a 36mm datejust and the SELs will not sit completely flush against the case. I've not seen one in person so cannot comment on how noticable that is. In the end it seems most people care more about the solid vs hollow links and/or the "old" visible vs new hidden clasp. To that end they probably both work OK, but ultimately it should come down to your personal preference with those factors in mind.

I personally just sourced a brand new OEM "old style" jubilee braclet (the 62510) to rotate between my 16710 and my new 116710BLNR. I wanted the fit to be right and also prefer the look of the visible clasp on these sports watches. Since the braclet is brand new I shouldn't have any issues with stretch. I can't tell you how it fits/looks just yet as it's literally in the mail in its way to me as I write this!

Good luck in your search for the right braclet to fit your needs/tastes.
