Since the year 2004, all the DJs and TOGs (Turn-O-Graphs) were introduced on the Super Jubilee braelets.

Thanks, Dalip.........but the Kiwi Dollar is not so "hot" against your Aussie.

I know for a fact that the MSRP on this bracelet in Australia is A$1675, but availability there too can be a pain in the butt.

Let me know, anyway.

Thanks - JJ

Plenty, but again there, the Pound is too bloody strong against the Kiwi.

My best bet is to buy in US Dollars only because our Kiwi buck is pretty strong against your Greenback.

Ahh...Well, I would thought a man of your means / Rolexes...

Hoping to take a look at the old school Jubilee tomorrow. Not certain how I would like hollow end links / hollow center links on the GMT II.

Will post if I can get my hands on one or not...

That TT GMT IIc on super jubilee looks great, Long!!! No reason the super jubilee shouldn't be an option on the new GMT IIc.

JJ the two two jubilee looks great but I have a hard time deciding between that and the one you have now . The one you have now looks very classy also. I would think if you got the Jub bracelet you would be switching all the time because you would have a hard time deciding which one looked better . Or just switch every 2 months and it would feel like a new watch each time.

Well, I have no plans on getting a TT Jubilee for my TT GMT-IIC 'cause it cost a mind-blowing US$3800

But I am planning on getting an SS one for my Exp-II!!

Well, I have to report that the old school Jubilee did NOT fit my GMT II / No Holes case. No "T" end pieces in stock either. I could go back and try to order the peices and/or have the watchmaker custom cut the standard Hollow end links to work ...but I am not crazy about potentially having a loose fit. Granted at about $700 all told, it would be a cheaper proposition than the Super Jubilee route.

I looked at the Super Jubilee (TT) just for fit. I think the $1350 price for a SS bracelet is a bit too steep for me - on a supposed self-imposed watch diet.

I was also told by the watchmaker that his personal Super Jubilee had "opened up" a few times on him... that does not make me feel good!!!

Looks like I will be keeping my stock bracelet for a while... I like it just fine.

Time to experiment with my red / black NATO!!! Sorry JJ.

Was this a problem getting the endlinks to sit properly between the lug holes and the case so that the spring bars would fit into the holes?
See my earlier post in this thread, I went through 3 pairs of 502T end links to find 2 links that fit perfectly and tightly on my Jubilee/ GMT II combination. I could not believe this was happening but got there in the end.
